Flex Fuel sensor, E85, and your car.
All who praise 1.5 bar plus boost range,
By some miracle modern technology has given us the gift of ethanol at the pump which basically means 110+ octane fuel for cheaper then normal gasoline. Someone has come forward to ask if the Adaptronic can use the flex fuel sensor so that you can optimize timing and fuel for use with e85 and likewise be able to fill it up with 93 and not sling a rod. If we have enough people interested they are willing to adopt the sensor. They just don't want to sling a lot of time at the problem to get 1 sale.
So if your interested please post here.

I have some interest, but it would likely be pretty long-term, and not worth a lot of front-loaded work on your part. But, more info might be helpful in your efforts.

What it would be is that you would use fuel map 1 and set your 93 octane tune, and fuel map 2 you would do your ethanol tune. Same thing with ignition. So the sensor would interpolate between the two maps. So if its 80 percent ethanol and 20 percent gasoline you would use 80 percent the value of the ethanol map and 20 percent the value of the gasoline map added together.
I would also ask him if we could include changing boost targest, because I know alot of people would want more boost, not just more timing.
