IS200t tune
#2341
I was quoting full E85TUNE. However it does say on our gas cap ‘up to e20’. We’ll probably be able to run up to e50 without having to upgrade our fuel injectors but eventually someone will have to test the flow of our stock injectors.

That’s pretty cool cause there’s a gas station by me with e85
Are our tanks16gals?
So 3-5 gals of e85 and the rest 93?

I’m leaning towards 3gal tops to be safe.. this is only rough calculations lol

Guys I advise against running anything more than 10-15% ethanol in our cars. It requires a much richer mixture. These cars are not flex fuel they can not tell when the go above 15% ethanol (e15). E85 could cause damage to the motor.
Again unless you have an ethanol tune do not us E85 or mixtures past 15% ethanol.

Yeah Idk if I’d use ethanol mixtures with only the Bms. The only reason I’m using e50 is because ive had two different tuners adjust my ecu to use ethanol specifically. However I don’t thinks gallon of e85 will hurt, most 91 octane gas already has 10% ethanol in it expecially cheaper gas stations. Ethanol is considered to be a safe way to cut’ gasoline. Adding a gallon of e85 to a full tank of 91 will probably give you about 92 octane, at that point it might be best to just pump 93 without using a higher percentage of ethanol which can trigger limp mode

Sheddy when you go get your custom tune ask your tuner how much room we have left in the fuel system, or the injector duty %. I do wonder how much room we have in the system. Injectors and a fuel pump are easy upgrades.

I'll try to get as much information as i can. Companies like TTI and OV have done a lot of R&D on the 8AR, so I am hoping this tuner can find out all the restrictions and loopholes even though this is his first 200t. His 20 years of experience should shine!

by where sound advice was?
btw wanted to share this calculator
http://www.georgebelton.com/E85Calculator.php
running 93 the absolute max is about 1.5 gal of e85 then fill the tank.
depending on the ethanol already in the gas will get you to e15
