Evo X upgrades

Confimed NAV works great with the tactrix logging.

I think my NAV problem is more complex. It wasn't working tonight with it disconnected, either. I guess that one remains on the mysteries list.

I'm going to put a Prosport fuel pressure gauge in that second pod.

Prosport FTW.

Speaking of, I still need to get mine installed.

Fuel pressure or other gauges?

I threw a couple CELs on the way to work. The 'front o2 slow' that I've seen plenty of lately and rear o2 'no activity'. I've been getting the latter since I had the car tuned. Shot Shane an email to see if the rear was disabled for some reason.

I may need to roll back to the old tune and AMS intake.

After seeing the gooey stuff on the end of my injectors last night, I'm wondering if my hard lines might be obstructed somehow. I don't suppose it'd cost too much to run new lines direct to the engine bay.

The gooey stuff is somewhat common for running e85. I ran for over a year once without checking them and one clogged it had so much junk on it. A minute or two in an ounce of gasoline clears it right up.

I'm guessing the rear o2 is disabled since it's only for emissions, but it shouldn't be throwing any rear o2 codes if that is the case.

Good luck figuring things out.

Or just a bottle of fuel system cleaner? :)

AKA a gallon of gasoline mixed in for a bit to flush out the junk.

Wasn't sure if that was safe with E85. People also prattle on about E85 keeping everything nice and clean. Umm, no.

The Bosch is moving a lot less fuel than it should be. Running new lines would probably cost the same as two more hours of failed tuning. Of course it's shooting in the dark, like always.

Pump gas mixed in with the E85? Does it have cleaning agents that E85 doesn't have?

My understanding is that if you disable it and don't physically remove it then it'll get damaged (we didn't remove it). The X will also continue to throw codes unless you wire in a wideband like scheides has done.

Alcohol can't dissolve that gooey junk like gasoline does. Soak the tips in 1/2" gasoline in a little cup and the gas will turn black absorbing it all in a couple minutes. There was a big study on this on link awhile back, I can't remember if they determined the source of the black goo that the alcohol can't absorb or not.

Mine is disabled and removed from the car completely w/o a wideband and I get no codes.
