anyone running motoza's e85 tune on a stock turbo?

[VAGlover]

two weekends ago i ordered motoza's newish e85 tune. i've exchanged a few emails with dave and just waiting on him to send the updated file with a switchable e85 map. as of now, i'm just using his 1+ file for the 550 injectors. other than the injectors my bolt ons are pretty scant. i have a 3" test pipe, silicone inlet pipe, stock dv, and a k&n drop in filter. oh yeah, i have the mufflers deleted to unleash many hps.

so pretty much i'm relying on someone to chime in and cure my waiting anxiety haha.
who's got it? i'd like to know the lowest temps you guys cold started, ethanol mileage, general experience yadddaa yadda.

thanks guys

How's your car feel? I just bought 550cc injectors and am going to flash a 1+ tune soon. I have a cone filter, 3" to 2.5" test pipe, custom catback exhaust, and a silicone inlet pipe. Hoping it's noticeable difference since my car is slow a.f.

Post some MAF logs, with time stamped RPMs. Lets see how much quicker it is compared to a 93oct tune.

Can the 550's supply enough fuel for an E-85 tune, if so I'd like to tune mine for that but have the ability to switch tunes from 1+ 91 octane to E-85 depending on what I fill up with.

The general rule of thumb is that E85 requires ~30ish percent more fueling, so it seems that 550cc injectors just make the cut.

You should really consider upgrading that DV.

I'm currently running the Motoza e85 tune on my stock KO3 Dave is currently reviewing my logs to find a possible reason why I'm not making the peak boost I should be even after boost teak testing with no leaks found. He is taking a while to get back to me for that right now too so I have a feeling he is just very busy and will get to us soon. As for my e85 tune everything has been running great on it, I have been fueling with e85 for about 2 months now and have come across zero issues. The tune through Motoza is actually the MTC or multi tune controller and you can change it between 91, 93, Valet, and e85 anytime you want to as long as you have your laptop with you to plug into the car.

A couple things to note with the e85...

I average around 14 to 16 mpg with a mix of city and expressway driving when I used to average around 20 mpg with 93.

I have to cold start my car every morning and being that I live in Detroit there has been a couple days of single digit temps around 5 degrees Fahrenheit, the colder it gets the more times the car will stall before finally stabilizing the idle so it seems that the 5th start has been pretty consistent for the very cold days and on only average cold days its only 1 or 2 stalls. I'm hoping that Dave is able to adjust the tune further in order to help with the cold starting but I can't complain as I have never been unable to start it.

There is a good deal more mid range and low end torque or at least it feels like it as I'm assuming the higher Octane of the fuel lets Dave safely push the timing advancement further.

Perhaps one of my favorite aspects is just the fuel itself, where I live it is cheaper than 87 and about 60 cents per gallon cheaper than 93. and that's with gas prices extremely low right now. I remember seeing a couple years ago e85 for $2.10 a gallon when 93 was around $3.80 a gallon so the savings at the pump can only go up from there.

Also the corn life smells amazing

I ran the E85 tune on a stock turbo for ages now...runs great. No issues here.
