I've considered getting my car tuned for e85, and I would like to do so. However, when I talked to the guy who did my tune he advised that my stage 3 tune was pushing the injectors near their limit, and I may not be able to get the extra 30% of fuel through them that the e85 demands. Also, I do sometimes take extended trips with my car and could encounter a time when e85 isn't available to me. Since T5 cars can't be converted to flexfuel, and can only be programmed for constant e85 use, I'm going to wait for now. For now, I'll worry about the injectors and fuel pressure regulator, and I think I will just buy a BDM cable and figure out how to do my own tune. then I can have a stage 3/gas tune and a stage 3/e85 tune, so when I take a long trip I can do a quick ECU swap and hit the road with no worries about where I'll be able to find fuel.
It's too bad there wasn't a way to trick the T5 system into being a mock flexfuel system by utilizing macros; in a simple form the ecu could have a macro for e25, e40, e60, and e85 and as the oxygen sensor picks up on different levels of ethanol the ecu could switch to the necessary macro to accommodate the fuel demand. I realize this isn't really possible, but we can dream right? Come on Jak, be our dreamweaver.
