i haven't tested yet, but i believe my station is closer to 85 than 70. It wasn't starting as smoothly on the e70 map, and peak HP on virtual dyno was down quite a bit after about 5k RPM. although the midrange did seem a little stronger, smoother and AFRs were much more consistent than my 1.09b3 map.

today i reflashed the e85 map. cold starting is better. feels better on the road, will do a virtual dyno once it's had enough miles on it for the ECU to finish relearning.

Having the wrong fueling cuts the HP gains in half!

You need to test your ethanol content or get a flex fuel kit

Yeah, I figured as much, that's why i tested the e85 map to see if i noticed any improvement, and it feels much stronger now. Will do some datalogging after work this afternoon. Fuel test kit is on its way, flex fuel kit has been damn tempting.

Just updated my ticket system so it'll support forced induction tune requests.

You'll notice the Innovate tune listed in there...

I wonder why............

So cold start is better?

What does that mean?

Does it startup the first try?

On the E70 map it was taking 4-6 tries, E85 map usually starts on the 1st attempt (only 1-2 occasions where it needed a second try.)

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPj_mz3enwo&list=UUHe66qjLawxdL8lELNUvXKA& index=1"]FR_S 0-60 pull using e70 - YouTube[/ame]

Quick little pull using e70 the other day. I was 67 miles into the new tune when i did this 0-60 pull. Tires are worn down on my car and tires are inflatted more than what they were in my previous videos in the past. torque registered 6.0 secs 0-60 but i had a bit of wheelspin in the start which slowed me down a little due to cold weather and tires that a sorta worn down.

I've had zero cold start issues and amazing performance gains on latest E85 tune. No more stumbling starts.

Same here...running e70 my cold starts are identical to pump gas. just switched to e85 today and car started up right away. once i do about 50-70 miles on the e85 tune ill do another 0-60 run to see if i can get a better run. i did the 0-60 on map 4 not sure which map should be better for 0-60
