Or just save the 500 or whatever it is and tune conservative.
There isnt' that much difference in power between 11.5afr vs 12 |

lol
I thought you were getting a new one from innovate or tuner tools |

where is the taurus sensor located at? |
What fuel system upgrades are required to run this? All new lines? New gas tank? I know you'd need to make sure your injectors can flow the extra fuel. I've thought about E85 in my DD 1.6L.

I don't think you're required to do anything other than run huge-ass injectors and a pump.
However, I'm going to convert my entire fuel system to -8AN lines/diy SS hard lines/dual feed rail/etc. Mainly for the piece of mind - my current fuel lines look like aids. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1337967513 |

Maybe I am over thinking this, but what do you do when switching between E85 and pump?
Clearly you must change maps, but when do you make the switch if you still have a gallon left in the tank at fill up? How long do you stay out of boost? |
You make the change when you're empty, or you always fill when there's 1 gallon left and you tune on that mix. You can't screw with the E85 mix without taking a big risk with the engine.
I switched Theseus to E85 2 years ago. The hassles are well worth the performance and safety benefits. |
Which is exactly why I'm looking at getting an AEM flex fuel standalone. No switching maps - it does it for you based on % ethanol.

Have you guys seen how ProEFI integrates the E85 sensor? It's pretty nice (cheesy video warning):
The box alone is $800 and it gets really expensive as you add sensors though. :vash: |
I may have posted this link in another E85 thread, but here is a good source for finding locations near you: http://e85prices.com/e85map.php
I am hoping to make the switch this year. |
Most of the tracks I go to are in the middle of nowhere (no e85 within 50 miles). Im afraid I would need fuel mid-event and be SOL. I dont want to lug around a 55gal drum of e85. Also, I go to a track or 2 in canada, so I am not sure what the rules are for transporting large quantities of fuel across the border.
