How to run E85 on stock 86 BRZ FRS with OFT tune
How too - Running E85 on stock 86/BRZ with OFT (also cars with headers)
You can run E85 on a stock 86/BRZ with an OFT tune No Flex fuel kit or sensor required. Post by Shiv at Vishnu tuning http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53477 Stage 2 E85 map tested on stock car http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52030 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56452 OFT Stage 2 maps are usually reserved for cars with aftermarket catless headers however as per above posts they will work on a stock car running E85 fuel. E85 has a higher Octane rating then petrol which allows tune to run more ignition advance providing more power and torque over the entire rpm range Unfortunately E85 has less energy content for the same volume of petrol so you have to run about 25% more E85 generate the same energy as petrol, hence your fuel economy will be around 25% worse on E85. No free lunches as they say. Video with general info on E85 All about E85. Video: MCM Info on Charge Cooling effect of E85 effectively giving you higher octane rating http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=13 On OFT tunes the in dash fuel economy meter will read 25% off on E85,to correct this adjust the Fuel_Multiplier_Display_Offset Table as per below (original values with 30% added) Note in your Definition the "Fuel Multiplier Display Offset" Table may be under the "BRZ ALPHA" folder Precautions As you have no flex fuel sensor you need take a couple of precautions when changing from petrol to E85 or the other way around.
Guy did video of proceedure see link [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiodLBN1kSs[/ame] There are two reasons you need to drive easy 1. To let the ECU learn the new fuel and avoid any damage while its doing so 2. Your ECU only learns fuel trims in Closed Loop mode , this is during cruise and steady or slow throttle movement. During WOT hard acceleration and on/off throttle ECU is in Open Loop mode it does not learn fuel trims just applies what it learns in Closed Loop mode see here for more info http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64790 Shiv says the E85 tune is good for mix’s between E60 and E90, but it does take time to learn a new mix , so each time you fuel up take it easy for the first 10km or so to let it learn again. Your LTFT will vary around a bit more on E85 tune if the ethanol percent of your fuel changes. If the E% is around 70% then the LTFT will be fairly low possibly less than 5%. IF you E% is less than 70% your LTFT will start to trend negative If you E% is above 70% then your LTFT will trend positive As long as their less than about 10% +or- your fine. you will always notice LTFT drift around a bit more at idle and low rpm due large changes in Intake air temps this is normal. Apparently some stations in USA are now stocking E50 fuel, this will be pushing the limits on the OFT tune, your likely to see LTFT of 10% and you would want to log for knock if using that fuel, you might have to back off the ignition timing a degree or so in places if your seeing consistent knock. This assumes your running a stock intake, or have rescaled your maf sensor to suit an aftermarket intake Remember you have NO flex fuel sensor to save you so you need to be careful not to fuel up with wrong fuel and probably advisable to keep OFT with you in case you cannot get E85 in some areas. If it rearly cold you may experience cold start problems (generally below 5C or 40F) if so you can add 3 or 4 litres of petrol to a full tank to drop the E% a bit to make starting easier but keep you E% over about E60. or see link below and surrounding posts to alter Injector pulse widths on start-up (cranking) ie Cranking IPW tables http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...21#post1444921 or Malts adjustments http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=40 The best is probably wayno's adjustments below especially for high ethanol content up to E90 If you are going to run E85 long term you should make sure your oil is E85 compatible (SN or GF-5 rated oils are generally Bio-fuel E85 compatible), and change your oil twice as often if your paranoid. If you get oil analysis done and your not showing fuel dilution you may be able to run standard oil change intervals, im just being safe here. see here http://www.pqiamerica.com/apiserviceclass.htm You may consider running something similar to Lucas Ethanol Treatment. Some people on this forum such as Hawiian, Luckrider and 86Viper and possibly others, have used E85 for over 30,000 km on cars with stock fuel system components. Plenty of OFT users with less km on E85 There is no 100 percent guarantee their will be no long term side effects but its looking quite promising. see these threads with replies from long term users http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64621 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51252 Last edited by steve99; 07-26-2018 at 06:14 PM.

Did this last night, but I made the mistake of immediately flashing over to e85 el (stock headers) and driving off. Have been taking it easy (under 4krpms) for 40miles. Hope that didn't do any harm. Didn't know I should have stayed on the petrol tune.. Should I be worried? @steve99

So I'm guessing the Toyota 0w-20 synthetic is not "E85 friendly"?

Sorry for the confusion. Was on stage 1 91 tune. Last night flashed to stage 2 el e85 and pumped e85. Instead of pumping and remaining on stage 1 tune for a few km (burn off remaining 91), I pumped and immediately flashed to stage 2 e85. Since then I have kept it under 4krpms while driving (50miles now).

That's what my thought process concluded, lol it's that "online random person who drives the same car as me secondary confirmation" that makes me feel comfortable before going WOT crazy. @Malt
