E85 tune
 

Just a question, see all this about e85 tunes, my question why?

Power?

So that we can keep demand up for corn consumption thus allowing our government to continue subsidies for farmers which in turn generate huge profits for large corporations that own that farmers.

SEARCH!

E85 is 105 octane.

With NA its the differance between 160whp and over 200whp

With turbo on stock compression its the differance between 320whp and 600whp

The power is so much more smooth and you feel the differences everywhere. I only have an air filter and the e85 tune and I could not ask for more of value than this upgrade. If you have an OFT already give it a try but be prepared to hate 91.

I see all these dumb questions all over the forums, my question why?

Ok some answers, but I was wondering why you would go this route if the motor currently not like e10 even. Also what is the long term effects of running e85,

All of your answers are a simple google search away.... seriously.

I agree, I have access to 93 and still hates it when I switch back from E85. :burnrubber: :burnrubber: :burnrubber:

The motor does not like low octane fuels , not all alcohol (ethanol) containing fuels are low octane.

It not the ethanol that the problem it the low octane petrol its mixed with
91 E10 is most likely 87 petrol with 10% ethanol to bring the octane rating to 91


Yes a lot of 91 octane fuels contain 10% ethanol but so do some 94 octane fuels.

Ethanol has a higher octane rating than most petrol around 105 (USA rating)
However ethanol has a lower energy content per volume than petrol, hence your fuel economy may be slightly worse on E10 fuels.

It also a very clean burning fuel

This car like most modern vehicles is compatible with E10 fuels (states so in manual) but for best results and performance you need to run 93 (USA rating) octane fuel or better, else the motor will knock resulting in the ECU pulling ignition timing and hence reducing power.

To run E85 fuels the ECU needs retuning to add significantly more fuel aprox 25-30 percent more to avoid the motor running lean, but due to the higher octane rating of ethanol you can also increase the ignition timing significantly resulting in approximately 20 wheel horsepower gain on a stock car, with significant increases in power and torque across the entire RPM band

Turbo or supercharged cars can extract significantly more gains from E85 as they can fully utilize the much higher octane rating and increase boost pressures as well as timing as well as the cooling effect of the extra fuel.

pumpgas mixed with e10 does not contain additional lubricants to counter act the small amount of ethanol. E85 contains additional lubricants to account for the ethanol. E85 changes to somewhere around e70 in the winter to assist with cold starts.


Long term effects? More power, cleaner burning engine, no sludge buildup what so ever, lower emissions, less dependency on foreign oil, more frequent oil changes and possibly longer hp di fuel pump life.


sooo.....yeah start buying e85 now because the government subsidiary is about to run out and if the public doesn't catch on the price will go up and it will start to disappear.
The problem is with uneducated people saying something about how its acid and will cause your engine to corrode and every molecule in your body will explode at the speed of light if you use e85.

That would be almost drinkable with a little orange juice :D

waste on us NA guys about E60 is all we need
