E85 Question
Lets say like a few folk here I want to keep the Car NA. Seems like the E85 + Cat-less Header + Tune is a common option. If I go with the Moto East Flex-Fuel kit & at some point in time inevitably find myself with a mix of E85 & regular gas - exactly how does the de-tune process work ? does the ECU constantly modify the E85 tune based on %Ethanol detected or default to some 'lower tune' state.
Apologies in advance for this newbie question. |

The flex-fuel kit reads the ethanol percentage in the fuel and changes the tuning accordingly. You wouldn't need to do anything to switch between the two. That is why flex-fuel is so nice.

yea the flexfuel has a sensor to read out and that communicates with the car's ECU. depending on the tuner (guessing moto east if you're buying their flexfuel) they will create a table of different values which allows the car to adjust timing/afr on the fly depending on the ethanol content. It's quite convenient to run flexfuel rather than having two maps one for 93 octane and e85 since e85 isn't ALWAYS 85% ethanol..

That is actually incorrect at this time. OFT Does offer a Flex-Fuel kit.

I have e85 a block from my house but I won't try it without a ff setup. It says right on the pump 59 percent minimum ethanol content. I don't feel safe running straight e85 tune.
