Is your pump e85 rated? @Clay_916

 

I need to buy the one that the mapecu3 uses. Just been too lazy to call urd or maybe someone local. It's like a GM sensor, but maybe has a different curve. I can't write a temp curve in a piggyback. I bought mine used so I'm the only guy without the sensor. For the time being I can get a resistor in and make a summer map and winter map. The OEM ecu is pretty aggressive with temp changes on a blow thru maf.

 

Ahh. Wonder if I still have a temp sensor from my Map-Ecu 2???

 

Nope.

 

If you weren't already aware, the e85 doesn't lubricate like normal petrol. So your pump's components will have a much reduced life.

 

11.8-12 is perfect. 9.6 is insanely rich.

But yea, im sure you'll have to replace all that stuff if you run it consistently. Didn't have to change any of the tune?

 

Good to know! Is there anything else I would need like certain plugs or a different o2 sensor? I've read a few convincing post elsewhere about e85 being a lot less dangerous than common conception.

 

Hmm you could always use the AUX gauge for the content analyzer? Just give up recording AFRs.

 

Of course.

 

Stoich would be different for e85 I believe...That may affect target afrs if your stoich reference isn't correct

 

Oh snap! The fic6 can't make adjustments based on the AUX though right?

 

I meant 9.6 compression ratio. My 91 afr's were 10.8-11.3.

 

No but it can record through it, may be useful in determining the correct 91 to e85 ratio when making pulls if that's something you wanna do.

 

Correct. On the AFR gauge, the safe zone is leaner than with petrol, while in boost or otherwise. There are charts available. Just have to look it up.

 

They are different for e85 but you can just use the gasoline values and tune exactly like you would for gas, slighty leaner.

 

Knowledge

 

From what I've read, using the gasoline afr's for e85 12.5 is max rich torque and 12.0 is the safest you can be while sacrificing a few ponies.
