E85 Question(s)
 

Hai there everyone, hope you're all well. Just a few general questions that I can't seem to find answers for.

So a new station opened up decently close to me that has E85. As it's so cheap, and I hear of people LOVING it for the FRS/BRZ, I decided I'd ask how much it would benefit my car, 2013 Scion FRS with 50k miles.

I don't have a Flex Fuel Kit, or a Tune, but I do want the extra all mighty E85 boost I've been hearing about.

Can I put E85 in my car without a Flex Fuel Kit or a tune for it and not have bad long term effects on my car?

Thanks!

Any other information about E85 would be much appreciated.

Short answer, no.
You need a tune at a minimum.

no

Read this for OFT tune;

and search and you will find the answers..
Search on google with ft86 at the end of the search as the forum search function sucks balls

No
Don't do it.
Your car will either explode or not run.

Thank you! I'll look more into it then and see what needs to be done :)

But an explosion would have a cooler effect.

LOL, perfect

You need a tune, I am going with the OFT method myself, without a flex fuel kit.. its more of a pain to switch though, and not for the feint of heart if you are worried about flashing your car every time you want to switch fuel types.


That said, I like E85 NA very much, and I actually save a little money on overall fuel costs vs 93 in ATl GA. I do go to the station every 150~200 or so miles though now. I don't like letting my car get below 1/4 tank.

you will TOTAL your car...the crickets won't be able to handle it

I cannot believe this is a serious question. It's not far from, "I'd like the power from a turbocharger but don't feel like buying or installing the necessary parts, can I just sit it on my back seat and get all teh HPz?"

Hey, at least he asked first before detonating his engine :D
