HI guys , I am fairly new to the CIVIC X game. Just Purchased Ktuner V2 . Thinking about doing e85 kit on the Ktuner. Anyone here has experience using E85 and ktuner on their CVT? How much further can I push this car with CVT ? How much power is expected to gain from e85? Any issues? Thanks in advance !

Personally, I would leave out the e85 kit and go with a custom e tune from vit in order to get most the potential out of the cvt... the cvt won’t handle a great deal of torque meaning even after just a tune your gonna be pushing it pretty far. I would have them tune the torque around 250 and do some simple bolt ons and hope for what your looking for. For me I didn’t see the e85 kit being worth it if I couldn’t use it’s full potential but if e85 was more readily available around me I would definitely have it also so really it’s up to you. Depending on what you go with your looking at anywhere from 260 pound feet of torque with just a tune all the way up to close to 300 pound feet of torque with thee85 kit but the car isn’t gonna handle 300 for very long with the cvt. Hopes this helps
