what if your "E85" is not actually E85 but less.... no flextune

[vanquishvzla]

pbd has a flex tune for the 15-17, i know you need injectors but they do have one if you upgrade them

nope, they don't... when I bought mine, they told me "only flex tune for +18" for 15-17 they send you 2 separate tunes... trust me, I wanted the flex tune... Lund tune was double the price, so no thank you.

you need injectors only if you are running a different intake manifold... stock IM and stock injectors its fine... I have the +18 manifold, the bigger injectors and both tunes...

But I was worried about the e85 not being a full E85 and what to do in that case...

well i just got mine and its a legit flex tune and i have a 17 so not sure if it changed since you got yours or what but maybe call em and see?

it is also possible im miss understanding what they are labeling flex tune vs a straight e85 tune so now im kinda curios but mine is labled flex

I'll contact them and check.. because i bought it from lethal on the labor day sale.... they called me and told me "PBD doesn't offer Flextune for 15-17, only +18" and i called PBD and confirmed with them... so, idk....

haha yea im confused now cuz i went back and looked at my order and i got it through lethal as well but it definitely shows a flex option under what i picked, i should be hearing from them today actually about my revisions so ill ask in the next email and let ya know unless you talk to them first

When I ordered everything, it was showing the Flextune option... that was my main goal, but before charging me, they call me to tell me about the no flex tune for 15-17, only 2 separate tunes... I told them, fuck it, do it... but if they have it now, of course I want the flextune over the full e85 tune, just to play it safe...

Lund was too expensive compared with PBD, an no other tuner crossed my mind... it was either pbd or lund...

have you looked into another tuner? Torrie in St. Aug is solid and I believe a FF tune.. Doesn’t Lund? Shell on Parental and Beach bled used to have 100 octane, I used it in my Terminator back in the day

The sunoco close to parental home used to sell 100-105 oct i think... years without stopping on that gas station.

yea i hear ya and when i got mine i saw a straight e85 tune, straight 93 tune and then a e85/flex, were those the same options you had? no one ever told me there was no flex tune for it so hopefully it is actually flex lol

yeah, you had to make 2 choices, 93 and flex/85... i obviously picked flex because that was my main goal...

I'm working with them with the same tunes. Was told the same thing, flex fuel for 18+ only... Was a little disappointed, but love how the car is running. I would like to know the differences and if there is a way to get it to work on pre 18 cars...

I love my 93 tune so far... the canned sct tune was garbage, specially on the tranny... after the tune, I basically drive on S/S+ all the time... the rev matching on downshift is lovely and the car definitely pulls harder after the mods... it feels angrier. Love it! you won't be disappointed.

I haven't switch to e85 for data logs for lack of time, but the car is sitting inside the garage with 2 miles to empty waiting for me lol
