Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 13y 10m Posted 22/04/13 09:48 AM Share Posted 22/04/13 09:48 AM Yes it's possibly to use eflex in our cars. But you have to make such big sacrifices in the tune to allow for such a large jump of ethanol that its really not ideal at all. Just keep in mind, for every 10% ethanol, your stoich drops 0.6 afr. You would need to set some pretty conservative timing/fuel to allow for e60-e85 fuel. Not ideal at all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come everyone just has the 3 tunes?I guess the only problem would be testing the fuel every time and the fact that 4 or 5 tunes might cost me a bit more.Are testers like this accurate?

rednose RNS10S Donating Members 2,229 Member For: 18y 3m 3d Gender: Male Posted 23/04/13 10:36 AM Share Posted 23/04/13 10:36 AM I have been using eflex for almost 2 years, no issues. Surely over the 2 years with more than 70 passes on eflex if there was a problem with it it would have revealed itself. Sorry guys but I really cannot fault this fuel. Don't know why there is no love for eflex especially when most of the guys having problems or issues with ethanol that I am reading about are using Uniteds E85.

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 13y 10m Posted 23/04/13 10:45 AM Share Posted 23/04/13 10:45 AM It's probably only the fact that high ethanol content is so forgiving against detonation that your motor is still running. Pretty safe to say your engine will not be running optimal tank to tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also been on a few dyno's and power reads the same. Soon I'll know for sure as I will be installing my Zeitronix, just been lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
