GEN 2 Anyone do e85?

[M3sparky]

Haven't seen much talk about it but the performance gains are huge versus 91,, my questions are does mpt tune for e85 tunes for this truck? And what does the truck need to be able to run both 91 or e85 ?

The gtr needed bigger fuel pumps injectors, flex fuel kit and a custom tune on ecutek..the performance difference is wild so I would love to have it if it was possible to do without maxing out the stock engine internals like I have on the gtr that I finally bent my rod on after 5.5 years of fun lol. Time for a engine build

guess not

See the other threads. System can’t handle e85 straight. I run E30.

 

[Micha]

I run e48. Biggest limitations to straight e85 are the ITFP and the CDFP.

I have a full tank of E85 in my tank, not having any issues....

Flex tune with HPTuners.

If you aren't datalogging you have no idea if its riding the knock sensor, pulling timing etc..........just because it isn't mis firing doesn't mean you aren't walking a fine line lol.

Did you also measure the E85 at the pump? If you didn't then you have no idea whats in your tank, you could be running E60 for all you know.


"I got a full tank of e85, nothing has blown up, everything is fine" lol......

gosh, thanks for the advice. considering I have tuned 16 Gen2 Raptors, I don't know how many Gen1's, 25 Mustangs give or take, about 80 Corvettes, 20 Camaros, and over 100 GM trucks, have run a Super Stock NHRA/IHRA car for 23 years and had a career in the auto industry for the last 27.....hopefully I am datalogging. lol.

Oh yeah, my 2017 C7Z06 with a Whipple and port injection with flex fuel on E85.....i dont datalog that one either......lol.

I’d love to drag ur ass with my 1300 whp Porsche turbo that weighs 3k, but what do I know.

Btw the R8 will have a twin turbo soon too so maybe we can trailer halfway and I can shut ur ass up for “trying” to act too cool for school lmao......

cool story bro....

not trying to act cool (for school?), just responding to your assumption..... sorry you feel threatened. good luck with that.

It’s your tone and response, unless u tell people you are tuning how are they suppose to know? Do u normally act like a **** and attack them when they try to help you and crack a joke? Good luck.

You might want to reread the posts.

Don’t make assumptions. You want to assume something about someone or someone’s post then be prepared for the response. That’s pure immaturity on your part.

Just because your feelings got hurt doesn’t mean I’m a ****. Maybe it just means you’re a *****.

And whether or not someone is “tuning” doesn’t give you the right to be condescending. Suddenly if I had alerted you before posting everything would be ok....that’s not how life works bud.

Just keep your mouth shut until you know everyone’s hand, that’s the best advice you’ll get your whole life.

 

[SexyAvalancheGrey]

I would bet ur bitch ass wouldn’t talk to me in person like this. I’m in Ny but willing to travel to bust ur ass in a race and in person. Let me know


Ur just mad because u can’t take a joke and got insecure because I assumed u weren’t datalogging then started listing your other cars and how many u have tuned, u just started being a **** from the get go.

I was told by MPT that the raptors fuel system is flexible to some degree. I was stuck between there PRX-91 and 93 tune. They told me if I ran 93 with there PRX-91 tune I would still see a little performance gain. That said would E-30 at 96 octane improve performance with out a tune. Anyone know? ( Is the fuel volume required significantly more with E30?) I am guessing a call to MPT or gear head is in order.

Anytime you run ethanol you will be running a higher volume of fuel but also make sure you measure the E85 so you can calculate the proper octane mixture.

So it appears to be that there is a E30 tune & E50 tune. I just recently went with the E50 tune, mixing 50/50 of 93 & E85.

So far no problems, but the way I drive my truck, it is only a matter of time. I have Full Bolt Ons also.

I would love to hear about your results. Can you feel a pretty good difference? Who's tune did you go with? Any fuel delivery modifications?
Thanks.

 

[yellowssm]

i use a little E85 at times depending on the map I run on the JB4. HUUUUUGE difference running map 1 (91 oct) vs map 5 (E30-E40 blend)

 

[PerfBlue19]

Flex tune with HPTuners.

Hey brother, can you elaborate on the set up?
I see Livernois has a flex fuel e85 setup ready, but what are your thoughts on this?

Do you feel this is a viable option for a daily driver?

Haven't seen much talk about it but the performance gains are huge versus 91,, my questions are does mpt tune for e85 tunes for this truck? And what does the truck need to be able to run both 91 or e85 ?

The gtr needed bigger fuel pumps injectors, flex fuel kit and a custom tune on ecutek..the performance difference is wild so I would love to have it if it was possible to do without maxing out the stock engine internals like I have on the gtr that I finally bent my rod on after 5.5 years of fun lol. Time for a engine build

i just picked up my 18 a few weeks ago. I would love e85 as my GTR is also FBO and on e85. My F150 prior to the raptor could run e85 in its stock setting.... I noticed a little bump but not drastic like when I run 91 in my GTR and then switch to e85.....
