DIY Visconti Flex Fuel kit for E85 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I thought it was 200. 150 is a little better.

I got tied up today so I wasn't able to start my installation, but I'm going to knock it out tomorrow night and take some photos. Are there any particular steps that anyone would like more pictures of?

So who's going to be the first one to put it on the dyno with a full tank of E85?

I'm waiting to hear back from @Visconti about running anything over E50. He had mentioned there may be a cold start issue that needs to be ironed out. After I get an updated tune, I'll kick it up to E85 and get with @Chris@Phastek to setup a dyno session. It's hot as hell out but it'll give some conservative numbers.

Do you have to have this to run e85

infinite012 · 07-01-2013, 12:35 PM

This still doesn't address the disintegrating fuel pump filter inside the tank when using E85, right?

jazztennor · 07-01-2013, 01:22 PM

So with this kit you can switch back and forth between E85 and 91 at anytime?

Yruyur · 07-01-2013, 01:24 PM

There is no more switching with this kit. It detects the ethanol % and adjusts automatically. Now you dont have to run the tank empty to change fuel. Instead just add the other fuel.

Did you have to get a different fuel filter for e85

I installed John's E85-compatible fuel pump a few months back when I purchased his E85 tune. I've not messed with the fuel filter. I am going to investigate putting an inline fuel filter under the hood since the hoses John provides have the fittings. Perhaps @Visconti can chime in on whether it's OK to use those lines for that purpose.
