Can you still run 93 with the flex fuel kit (I assume yes but want to make sure). I think there are a total of 2 stations near me that apparently have ethanol (haven't been yet). I would likely have to run some tanks of pure 93 so I just want to be sure. But this is kind of too good to pass up.

Absolutely. And with the new DIFP fuel pump "limits," if you're approaching the limits of your fuel system on 93 (I did, with mostly FBO), Hondata will lower air charge to stay within a safe range for your fuel pump automatically. I'm not sure if you need to have FF enabled to have that aspect of the software working, but just wanted to point it out.

I filled up with just 93 octane, no E85, for my track day and was running about E15 thanks to a little leftover E85 in the tank. Car ran great and the station right outside the track had E85 so I just went back to E30 and drove home :)

That's awesome. Thanks for the confirmation. Looks like I need to sell my ktuner.

I'm currently hitting a roadblock trying to install my Sirimoto flex kit. I'm at the part where I have to locate the E54 terminal on the ECU harness to cut and splice in the yellow wire that I'm assuming is for the gauge. Issues is that when I located where the E54 wire should be, the terminal is plugged up and there's no cable. I have a 2018 Honda Civic si coupe. Was there a revision to the harness I don't know about? I've tried looking this up online and can't find a single answer. Called Procar studio where I bought the kit from and the guy didnt know what I was talking about. Called Innovative Motoworks where the kit is sourced from and they said to contact Sirimoto...went to the Sirimoto website and there's no contact number, just refers me back to procar studio. Anyone have this issue or have an answer for me? Maybe a color picture showing which cable to cut and splice into? The provided instructions are also black and white which doesn't help when they're referencing colored cables that need to be cut...

Probably should post the same in the 1.5T forum - the TypeR forum people may not know because, as I understand, most of what we have is completely different.

@Hondata just installed my flex fuel kit, Iā€™m at e36 and doing a pull my car went into limp mode. Iā€™m using the full bolt on flex fuel map, and Iā€™m sure I need to lower the air charge. It I have no idea how to do that lol. Can you help me?
