Best place in Socal for Ecutek Flex Fuel

Considering switching over to E85 and was wondering the best places to have this work done. I'm in Orange county but I can travel up to LA, down towards SD, or IE if that's where the best tuners are.

Hit up evasive motorsports they can do the same...just FYI E85 isnt just a simple change over with tuning...you'll need to upgrade your fuel pumps, fuel lines, and injectors because E85 is very very corrosive to a system which was not designed for it...basically I've seen stock cars dump fuel everywhere because the seals and lines go bad...not to mention the failed fuel pumps...even on a FR-S

Thanks guys. I've been working with Evasive and they've done an exceptional job. I just wanted to see if anybody else out there specialized in this type of setup. I already have a new fuel pump and injectors. Am I compromising other parts of my system by doing this?

Have you guys installed and tuned Visconti's flex fuel system on an FRS/BRZ? What sort of results did you achieve? What were the specs/requirements to get to those results?

Here you go. This is on the Innovate SuperCharger Setup but should give you an idea of what is possible and that we can tune it.

Have not done it on a non-forced induction vehicle yet, but have tuned E85 on a stock vehicle. We only seem to get forced induction customers coming in for tuning.

We can do it for you Josh but it takes a lot. You gotta make sure all of your 91 is drained before you change the map to E85. If you want to change and drain the gas every time is not going to be fun. Also you will need 1000cc injectors. You car has to be one or the other which is better.

How much are we talking ballpark for a full switch over assuming I have nothing and factoring in labor? I'm extremely interested in this because I have E85 available near my house.

but he stated he wants a flexfuel kit for the reason to not drain and switch maps every time
