Running FiST with E85 Blends - Discussion Thread

[westcoaST]

I've never seen e30 straight out of the pump in SoCal. Only e85. That's what I use. You are correct about pumped e30. Better to mix your own.

My LTFT hovers around -7.5 to -8. Should i add a little more E85 next fillup?

If I'm not mistaken- I believe we can run up to E50. If it were me personally, I'd probably run a E35 mix on a E30 flash tune.

I agree going over would certainly be better than under and probably better overall....

I'm finally getting E30 5 mins down the street from my house so I know I'll try the corn magic. As far as the practicality is there any other gauges to buy that are cheaper?

Update? How's the E30 feel in comparison? What's your set up and who's your tuner?

 

[LILIKE16ST]

I have not tried e30 myself (yet...key word) but from everything I've read on it they say it feels like a jump over a good 93 tune about the same as the 93 tune feels from stock and if this is the case it should Def be worth it (reading things like this is why I want to try it lol)

 

[alexrex20]

I went from stage2 93 to stage 2 E30. That jump was as significant as stock to stage2 93.

This is consistent with everything I've read on e30. My livernois 93 flash was pretty significant over stock so around tax time I plan to switch to an accessport and probably go with a dhm pro tune on 93 and e30 at that time.

You do know DHM is no more right? I'm not 100% sure about tuning though....

For real?? When did this happen? I was sold on their tuning after reading up. They seem to be a very solid source for everything fiesta including tuning and if this is true it is a real shame :-(

 

[alexrex20]

definitely true. they filed for bankruptcy last week

Go with Stratified

I guess if you never go into the shit storm hybrid/BT kit threads (I certainly do NOT blame you for that! ), you would never know about this, but yeah, I also was misled into thinking that they were long term legit, and would be around forever supplying tunes, great hard parts, and BT kits for the duration.

the phoenix will rise.

 

[alexrex20]

yep. bankruptcy isn't always a bad thing. hopefully he still has a presence in the FiST world. start clean, learn from his mistakes. and make moar powah

Stratified was a close 2nd on my list and when I heard this I said to myself "guess I'm going stratified" lol. Heard they're solid too. I'm not getting the flash tune (nothing against it or anything but I currently have a pretty damn good flash tune) I want a custom pro tune on 93 and e30.

*edit*
I have a depo fmic and drop in so technically I'm "stage 2" if you want to call it that lol....so I should be able to get some decent gains going pro tune in particular on e30

I want to switch to the accessport not only to get pro tuned on 93/e30 but also for the gauges and vdyno and different ways you can do things like 0-60 runs quarter mile runs among other things not to mention the flat foot shifting and switching tunes on the fly and stuff. The livernois tune is a real solid tune for a canned flash tune all the way around but if I had it to do over I'd get the AP from the start. Nothing against livernois I can just do more of what I'm wanting and have more options with the ap3

 

[alexrex20]

I'm opposite. I can't really be bothered to use my AP for gauges, and the few times I tried the 0-60 and 1/4mi they were way off. And it's well documented that they're way off because they go based on wheel speed sensors but it takes a few tenths of a second for the computer to realize you've started moving. The vdyno is also a toss-up for me because no matter how hard I try, I can't get a vdyno to produce numbers anywhere close to something realistic.

I don't even do custom tunes anymore. To be fair I only tried it once with Mountune and I was less than impressed. I'm perfectly content with the OTS tunes from Stratified. I don't mind that they may be conservative because in the hot summer months down here, I'll be glad that my tune is conservative. With that said, the Stratified OTS tune can't be that conservative because it's heaps better than the Cobb and even Mountune, but I'm still only getting +3 ignition corrections occasionally, with no negative corrections, and no knock. AFRs are on point as well.

I monitor my gauges for a bit and do a few pulls when I switch to a new tune, then put the AP in the glovebox. It only comes out so I can get the numeric reading for fuel remaining so I can calculate how much cornjuice to feed it.

Even if the quarter mile times and 0-60 times are off wouldn't they be consistent within themselves from one run to another? So you can record improvements and such from one thing to another or one mod to the next... same with vdyno. That's what I would think anyways. It'd be nice to have an economy tune and be able to switch to it everytime you get on the highway for a highway trip of any sort on the fly via cruise buttons. Seems very Convinient to me.

*edit*
That is if you're on the 93 map not the e30 map i would assume there isn't really economy tunes with e30
