E85 Last min advise? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

OK, my low fuel indicator just popped...

I literally just got done installing my UEL header yesterday and my STFTs are around 0 and LTFTs are no more that 3..

Was thinking about going OFT stage2+E85 tune and going for it. Any last min suggestions/advise?

I feel like you would have read this thread already. But:

@steve99’s guide/tips for E85

Very good guide about getting E85 ready

Wayneroms worked better for me.

When youre ready do a nice hard WOT pull in 2nd then post your first impressions. Have fun.

Can't recommend this enough! Not apples to apples, but I went from stage 1+ to Edelbrock SC and was not overwhelmed. This summer I went E85 and now I have the power I was expecting, couldn't believe the difference!

Its done! I now notice my adv multiplier went from .7 to 1 now. I can't see the eth % by adding that data channel? But it seems good to go.

I think you need a flexfuel sensor to get the ethanol %. (Sorry if I've missed something.)

WOT in second? What do you reckon??

Alright, so after about 25 miles of driving "easy/normal", I started going WOT and getting on it. Feels good, although not as 'different' as i was expecting. Runs really well though, no issues!

That's a similar experience I had with OFT stage 2+ (EL aftermarket headers + E85). I could feel a difference but it wasn't really night and day. Wasn't worth the effort of finding E85 near my house (I live in CT).

Remember it's a little 2L engine. What you should feel is how smooth the car drives and the extra pull through the entire rev range.
