Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

[Kracka]

Basically, make the Evo function just like any real FlexFuel vehicle...put in whatever blend you want and the ECU interpolates the E10 and E85 tune to correct based on the ethanol sensor's reading.

I didn't know the 8/9 guys had this already, cool.

Yea, I am looking forward to it, then I can toss whatever I want in there. I will still always be using E85, but now no more multiple tunes for e70 vs e85...and in worst case scenario I will have the ability to use pump without screwing around.

V2 is done I think, its just in testing. I won't hold my breath for sure but I am still looking forward to it.

Wow that sounds badass.

That is very cool! I wish I could have something like that in my pos

You can. Even Hondata has that stuff, but nobody ever uses it, at least around here. You normally want to change boost and igntion timing though also, if the ethanol mix is changing a large amount.

Yea, I would guess that and injector scaling would be all you need.

I wouldn't think fueling needs to move as you change it globally with the scaling.

Regardless I can't wait to try.

With the Evo X and that many maps though, you can just switch entire tunes.

True, but I am lazy, I like auto stuff :)

V2 also has knock TPS cut now too, no more throttle with lots o knock.

t4 kit sold and injectors and fuel pump sold.

Taking insurance off this thing and am going ot start pulling it off when its not super damn hot/humid, probably this weekend.

If anyone wants to come help feel free :)

I am hoping by September I will have enough to get the car back together. If I have to I might put stock shit back on for a bit, I still have the downpipe and UICP so I could throw that on for cheap if I didn't want to spend a ton.

We shall see, goal is to have it for the mitsu cruise but I am not going to rush it.

I will miss big time power but honestly I think the evo platform is more suited to 500whp or so and the car will be overall more fun and last longer (i hope haha).

I'd suggest keeping at least comprehensive insurance on the car in case it's stolen, your garage collapses, etc. Or verify that your homeowner's policy completely covers it no matter what occurs.
