Daily driver with ACE header and flex fuel kit reliable? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stlgrym3 · 10-19-2018, 11:33 PM

My BRZ equipped with ACE and flex fuel kit gonna be my daily driver until I take delivery of my Tesla Model 3 in December. How many of you DD a similar modded 86? I’m contemplating of removing this he ace header and FFK and revert back to stock tune while daily diving this car for the next couple months, is that necessary? If I stick with the current setup, will it be more “safe”/reliable if I stick with 91 petro instead of E85?

The whole point of a flex fuel kit is no matter if you run e85 or 91 or some mix the tune will adjust the ECU. As long as you have done the correct data logging with your tune and you are using ecutek...

I don't get why it would be necessary just because it's a dd. Go ask your Tesla boys they'll tell ya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ive done 4 autocrosses on ace+flex kit and blackstone said my engine wear was lower than average. take that with a grain of salt.

Long term effect of e85? Desire for more power lol.

run some 93 in it every so often and no one has reported any negatives of long term use yet, besides bad cold start manners when on e85 alone.
