rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 23/03/15 10:41 PM Share Posted 23/03/15 10:41 PM I know a lot of the aftermarket ECUs like vipec etc can do this quite easily, can the ford ecu with an SCT do a flex fuel tune using an alcohol sensor in the tank?Normally they will do 4-5 tunes (E20, E40, E85 etc) and then the ECU will interpolate between the maps depending on the alcohol content.Curious if anyone here is doing it over the dual tune option and if so what hardware they are using.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to use it for an LPG setup but is now going to use it with an ethanol sensor. Should be seeing 500 odd rwkw when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
