I have looked at Factory Expensive Daewoo Flex Fuel tunes but couldn't find the relevant table at this stage to see what they do but something that I wouldn't mind looking at further when I have the time.I have been playing with this fuel running it very lean. E85 reacts quite alot different to Petrol when running very lean fuel ratios in the normal driving areas of the tune.Whereas normal petrol looses alot of power and misfires when running past 17:1 air fuel ratio, E85 does not seem to and continues to make drivable power way past this ratio (I still use petrol ratio for simplicity) and does not seem to miss.It seems that that E85 can be tuned way past stoich on the lean side to deliver much better fuel economy and still maintain drivability.I have seen up to 24:1 (petrol air fuel ratio) on E85 with no misfire and still some power there which is quite eye opening for me.We are takling low load/rpm areas of the tuning mapsSo no one agrees with these claims then that can go way past stoich yet still drive?

I think you can get it to run when in closed loop as there will be enough of a correction but once you hit open loop it will die. I did sit idling on closed loop when I switched from 98 to e85 with a 98 tune and it was somewhere like 20+ something percent trimming up idling quite nicely.

With it on and a 1.25 max correction you would have otherwise forced open loop rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
