Tune+ E85 tune

[dragonacc]

By now almost everyone has seen whats possible using E30 on the stock turbo. But there hasn't been much work beyond that because of the poor stock DI system. Until now at least… ;)

I started working with Adam at Tune+ after getting my car back from FFTEC (more on that later, it's beyond the scope of this topic) with the goal of running straight E85. I'm happy to say the effort has been a success! We left off tuning (his work of course, I just get the logs ) today around 25 psi with lots of fuel capacity left in the Aux system and massive timing increases over what is possible with 93 octane. The car is running like a beast right now and I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

With that said I want to send out a big thanks to Adam at Tune+ for his time and effort and congratulations as well as this is likely the first full E85 Mustang EB in the country!

Congrats! You should film a pull once it's dialed in.

Adam is really good at tuning, and quick to respond back !!!! E85 is great fuel and im hoping to switch over soon , just not sure if i trust aux fueling because it can be finicky. Im assuming your running a cp-e fuel bar ?

:ford: Tune+ :first:

Running the prototype FFTEC throttlebody injection kit. So far so good.

Sure thing. I'll try and get one tomorrow and maybe an exhaust sound clip.

Nice!!

Curious , what injectors are on t-body side and what are you using to control them ?

Two 1150cc injectors. Using a Split Second box to control it.

Thank you for the post! There is still some room left as the factory ECU is still pulling a good amount of fuel through the midrange and when the HPFP catches back up up top it pulls even more fuel.

Going to bump up boost to about 30psi and see if the throttle body injection can keep up. I'm thinking as we start shoving a ton of fuel through an intake manifold designed to flow dry, it might start getting uneven fueling. Pump gas/race gas would be a different story as it requires much less fuel.


Just so everyone is aware, this is on a fully built motor with a FFTEC Borg Warner 8374EFR turbo kit. Making roughly around 500whp at the moment, much more to be had.

I need a video to quench my lust.


Amazing work though, keep it up!

Thank you for clarifying. It's hard to keep up with everyone's builds and as I'm reading the initial post I was thinking no way this is a stock car.

Awesome work. I know the stock turbo can only push ~36 lbs/min of air so running aux fuel and E85 would let you run a decent bit more power, would it not?

I can max out the stock turbo with E30. However, I will be making a meth injection kit in the next week specifically for Ecoboost Mustangs that will max out the stock turbo and be a lot simpler than mixing fuels.

Holy crap! There goes my summer vacation money!

And it will help with carbon build up on the valves! Sign me up! Any one know where I can get methanol in Germany!

Your car is going beast mode! I'm waiting to see how that big snail treats you down low, it's on my list as a probable.

I'll claim the first Full E85 Oxford White EBM with port injection and build date of 05/05/2015

Not going to lie, seeing it work so well for you is giving me much more confidence in my setup. I trust Adam (obviously) but I don't always trust the car to do what we want.

We shall find out. I just filled my tank with E85 and am waiting to scoot out of work to do some test pulls

I still have stock turbo, stock bottom end and am coming from E30.

I'm hoping to gain a little bit, I've only trapped 112-113 and I'd like to get into the 116-118 range with this and the ATM intercooler.

Then I'm going to add a big turbo.
