I'm using it. I have both a Flex Fuel tune (any ethanol % for the noobs) and a race tune for e85 only. No mods required for either other than the tune/s.
The injectors will cope easily on a NA car up to a point. FI will test the limits though.
Fuel consumption WILL escalate as mentioned by @RTVgav .
The ignition timing advance you'll see on e85 is just awesome, car absolutely hammers.
I picked up somewhere between 20-30rwkws if I remember correctly. It's THAT good.
Having both the FF tune and race tune is the key. In the real world, you'll likely be using 98 as your everyday fuel with FF tune. Run tank down near empty, fill up with e85 or at least splash say 30 litres on top. You'll then have say e60. Run that down, fill again, should have e85, flash race tune (not absolutely required but if you want the most timing, this is how you do it), drive normally for a few minutes before going WOT.
The first batch of e85 I put in was actually e89. The brews will vary slightly from what I understand, but they will always be at least e85.
Highly recommended.
Some good info there thanks. Tell me more about the flex fuel set up please. I'm assuming you need to fit an ethanol content sensor, but how does the factory ECU deal with this?
I didn't look at all of the settings when my tuner was using HP Tuner software, but I don't recall an input or map for E85 content.
