I am curious if the ISF can run e85?

Awesome looks so sick! I run e85 on my FRS with an HKS supercharger. The problem is you need to run 30 percent more fuel so bigger injectors and pumps. The F has two sets of injectors so I think that's an issue for tuning.

Not full e85 but a few of us are running a 30% blend with no issues. 70% 91 / 30% e85

The stock fuel system is maxed out at the current power level. Over the winter/spring we will do development on larger injectors that will allow more power and/or e85. Larger injectors on this car is not a simple task due to the complex direct/port fuel injection control.

Tranny is great, not one hiccup. We do have a much larger tranny cooler (approx $400 upgrade) that we recommend if you are going to track the car. But without tracking the car, there is no need for additional tranny cooling.

Does your tune include changes to how the transmission shifts, like faster clutch engagement? Any torque management changes on shifts?

On a scale from 1-10, what's the level of difficulty when installing this?

Great stuff guys!

The finished product looks amazing, you can see the quality and attention to detail in every aspect. Being a lover of carbon fibre, the visible piping is a really nice touch in my opinion.

I'm still a few steps behind on tuning my car, but once I've added my headers, I may just go with the tune, then save up for this.

Thanks to all the team at RR-Racing for their hard work and diligence putting together this amazing kit. Another triumph from you guys for sure.

Looking forward to seeing you both in a couple of weeks.

All the best.

Its a 6/10 I would say, easier than installing headers.

We are able to program the transmission, but have not done so for now because we are trying to develop capability to do so via OBD, which currently is not possible.

The stock ISF can shift quite aggressively where you feel the hit, but I find that the shift smoothens out because we don't do as aggressive a fuel cut with the SC as the NA setup. We decided to leave it that way as its less shock to the driveline which is important for driveline reliability at this power level.
