Brand New FRS want E85 Tune
So I just got a 2015 FRS with the Borla Cat-Back on Saturday and I already want to get the OpenFlash Tablet with Stage 2 E85 Tune. I have a E85 gas station at the corner of my house and near my job so fuel will not be an issue.
My question is how long should I wait before I pull the tiger? |

Only reason I would wait is so you can see/feel the differences between the two. I waited 3 months, and wish I got it earlier. I'm 100% happy with my oft purchase, even with stage 1. I will do E85 when I have data logging figured out, I don't want to chance that part. |

So should I just stick with the 93 tune? |
One thing I did before I decided on going e85 was checking when I go to meets (I live in Madison, wi) there's e85 fill stations along the route. That way I know for sure if I go I wouldn't have to worry about caring extra fuel in the trunk.
Also keep in mind yur mpg will suffer going to e85. I went from getting 26mpg to 19mpg. Almost all city driving |
Why not go EcuTek so you can run Flex Fuel and get the power without having to worry about what your content is? ;)

you have ability to flash 700 flex fuel kit 300 ecutek licience 300 flex fuel tune 400 ecuteck cable/dongle/programming kit Option 2 you get to ecutek tuner and they flash it for you ie no cable kit required 700 flex fuel kit 300 ecutek licience 300 flex fuel tune cons - you cannot flash/reflash yourself Option 3 You get to ecutek tuner and they flash you a 4 map switchable tune 91/93/E30/E85 $300 Ecutek 4 map switchable tune $300 ecutek licience cons you cannot reflash yourself and it always defaults to map 1 each startup so you have to remember to swich to correct map each startup with cruise stalk. Option 4 Buy OFT Free tunes included you have flash device you can flash what you want no licience required tunes included for E85 if you get headers later you also get tunes for that. they have tunes for their specific turbo and supercharger kits cost $500 Option 5 buy Tactrix cable do lots of reading tune it yourself cost $170 |

Well my car isn't running on e85 but since you seem like you're not a troll and asked for my opinion I would probably wait a while and stick with 93 for a while then jump up to e85 so you can really feel how big the difference is.(if that makes sense) However you said you had an e85 station at the corner of your house and if I had one at the corner I know it would be hard to resist. |
