Sprinkle a little special sauce on it... and it makes power.

Are those numbers also valid for CVT cars? Also, how much more is it to tune for E85 if we already have your 93 octane tune?

Also do you agree with pouring in some marvel mystery oil or TCW3 2 cycle engine oil in with the gas to combat corrosion and lubricate the D/I pump?

HP figures, yes. Torque we have to be careful with.

Part of the reason I recommend the blend is you don't have to worry about the additional maintenance -- there's not enough ethanol to worry about accelerated oil contamination (take a sniff of the oil on an E85 car after 1000 miles...) or D/I pump lubrication.

Well crap. Maybe my Hondata Flashpro will be capable of this one day

 

[maddmatt02]

I was running 22 before the e85 blend. Im up to 24.5-25.5 now. My e85 was $1.41 the other day.

Yea, I live in a expensive area. Loundoun County countries #1 most wealthy county therefore they assume everyone is rich lol. I have to drive to the "ghetto" i.e Manassas to get E85 at 2.06 or fuel for cheap lol

I was up to 24 PSI on 93 octane shell 93 nitro +

I pay 3.69 for

Dang @VitViper , this is the best R&D + write-up on the 10th gen!!! As soon as we finish the 93 tune I'm going to give this a try!!

We've been using various ethanol blends since December 2016. On ~93 octane we were around 235-240whp or so. Various ethanol based fuels are good for another 20-40whp over premium grade fuels (quality of premium grade fuels will vary --- 91 octane with E10 is better than 93 octane with no ethanol).

Keep in mind our car was also virtually bone stock during testing (threw on PRL DP on the Si since we had it -- initial testing on EX-T was done using just better fuel, no mods).

That's awesome. I'm planning on eventually doing an e-Tune with you once I've collected all of my bolt-ons. Any other major ones to target besides the PRL mods (FP, DP, intake, FMIC)? Do you have an estimate of how much power to expect on 93 with full bolt ons and an e-Tune?

Exciting times!

We get $2 here in the Dirty South!!

Waited months for Ktuner V2

Vit ships it, arrives super fast to Canada

Gets stuck in custom for almost 2 weeks, still stuck but yet I already ordered E85 hoping it would have arrived by now lol

damn, does it say why customs held it? I shipped a FlashPro to Canada that went right through.

Some get right through, some get stuck. Same device, packaging, etc.

must be that random search like when humans cross the border. Sometime they check the luggage, sometimes you walk right through

It went for further processing in customs.

Maybe the CBSA agent isn't sure what it is lol

@VitViper how do you feel about tuning a water/meth setup on this platform? In Canada since we don't have E85 at the pumps my only real option would be C85 and I'm looking at $100/5gal which isn't the most cost effective solution. I was wondering if it would be possible to enable a map switch or something as a failsafe if something were to happen with the system

My friend was telling me about water/meth setup as well!

We can do water/meth too, but there is no way to do a failsafe. The meth stops, so does your motor (probably)

Have to go motec plug-in at that point.
