It is this simple. Get the OFT OTS E85 ELH Tune and just run E-85 all day long.


You'll get an extra 30 HP and save the environment. Just use the correct oil at next change


My local tuner charged me $40 & I now run ONLY E-85


SIMPLE as that.. YES !

I had the exact same thing come at me in my sleep

I had another look at the economies here and running E85 pure would save me 25% on my fuel bill, which would equate to you guys saving approx. 60% (on your much lower US bill) in absolute monetary terms!!!

The problem is that it is illegal and it would definitely void warranty if you have any problems. E20 in your tank nobody would notice, E85 sure as...

Once you open that door... 😂

I had to take off my Moto-East FlexFuel kit for an inspection and had 3/4 91 in the tank with 1/4 E85 after a computer reset.

The car will adjust, but it will be running lean, may throw some codes, and you won't have the power. I drove it for 90 miles before the lean went away and it felt a little more normal. After 150 miles I think the level was back to mostly 91 (I think its the same as E10 here?) and it felt like the stock car again. (I also recently removed the supercharger)

Moto-East FF kit is a good way to go, but if you don't want to pay for the Ecutek on top of the tune and sensor I'd just go with the $499 OFT and call it a day.

Hope this helps!
