It needs quite a richer afr (even if e85 requires at least 20% more fuel compared to e10, that becomes a problem anyway because PI is still to extreme uses) to cool things up and PI becomes maxed out and it requires too much of a reduction in ign timings that, other than being TOO much of a reduction, it basically knocks randomly in an uncontrolled way. And i had no way of reducing further timings against higher gears

Give me his tune again, with a bigger PI and an ebc hooked into Ecutek instead of OFT, and better things come out

I think CSG Mike can imagine the pain in the ass this sitaution and the use of openflash (so no ecutek tricks) to tune this car in particular is

Most tuners wouldnt even start to tune a FI Flex car that has stock injectors... and they REQUIRE ecutek

Trying to maximize performance is cool but i surely don t try to do it in this situation... at least he won t bend a rod while he enjoys a perfectly running flex turbo Frs, and in the meanwhile he can upgrade injectors and switch to ecutek


Butttttt wwwhhhyyyy? Why build an engine to use open flash and stock injectors?! Like I understand the idea of a tight budget, but a good tune and proper injectors are just as good insurance as a built motor, and they are cheaper. That dude needs to make the switch to ECUTEK and make injectors his number one priority.
