Going e85 on my build so thinking about selling my AEM v1 for a v2 and run a flex fuel setup. I'm a bit worried about getting pure e85 out of the pump. Just looking for some opinions,advice
Thanks

 

ill be doing the same

 

I think a flex fuel setup is a necessity if you want to run e85 from the pump for the reasons you mentioned

 

My flex settings worked perfectly; local pumps were between E70-E77. You can still make a ton of power.

 

I made 546/422 on e70. I never checked it at the pump I already knew we had winter blend.

Also only used aem v1

 

My worries are if I tune on e85 and then down the road I get like e70-75 it could hurt my car.

 

Our FlexFuel system solves this problem. The sensor allows the ECU to know the ethanol concentration. Fuel, ignition, and boost will be programmed to adjust for a lower concentration reported by the sensor. Read link below to know how this works...

Are you responding Skeero? The flex settings allow you to blend between maps based on ethanol content. So E10 (93) would be one map and E85 would be the other. Blending between the two maps would then be a function of ethanol percentage.

 

SOS I checked your kit out just wish it came with a gauge to see what percent its at like other kits on the market.

And I was saying from what I read e85 will very out of the pump. So you never know unless u test it at every fill up.

 

I've been debating going with an AEM V2 over my V1 too, but i don't think it's worth it for me at least. If you don't already have a AEM V1 the yes, go ahead and get the V2 for Flex fuel.

I'm just going to tune it on E70, and that way i'll be in the "Safe" zone. Not sure how it would affect my car if i'm tuned for e70 and then get E85 put in??
