E-85 flex fuel reliability check.

[Zupra1776]

Those of you on ECUTEK flex fuel set ups who now have some miles...any issues or words of caution? I'm looking at going with a visconti custom tune and downpipe and trying to make the RELIABLE sauce on an E-blend.

Just wanting to know from anyone who is already there if there's thing to look out for, or words of caution.

Thanks in advance!

My brother @George Dankha has a flex-fuel setup with an ECUTek on his 2021 Supra…Marin Tuned. He might be able to give you some feedback.

I have a flex fuel tune by Visconti. I’ve only
Had it about a month or two. No issues so far. Installing flex fuel sensor was not too difficult. Great power. It’s definitely better to get flex fuel than just E50 tune. After a while it’s impossible to know your exact ethanol content with varying ethanol between pumps. Love it so far.

Sounds like you've got the exact set up I'm looking at. Did you do down pipe also? I told Visconti I'm looking for reliability over raw power.

Yes I have TITAN downpipe. I’ve had downpipe for about year and a half. I didn’t keep car stock for long lol. I started out with TITAN protune, the went to BM3 stage 2 93. Those were nowhere close to what the car is now. Same here, I didn’t want an all out tune just for numbers.

I’m running the Visconti flex fuel kit with stage 1 pump and port kit . No issues to report. Tuned all the way up to E90 ?

The only complaint ive seen... One of the local guys here had the o-ring on the Visconti Flex kit fail. It dumped a 1/4 tank in a matter of minutes. There's been a few ppl its happened to, so just keep an eye on the fuel line.

Other than that the performance on 93 is great, but going to e50/flex is outstanding. As far a tuning my preference is Mikey Botti. Either you can email him or purchase the package from @EastCoastSupra he does offer the OTS maps and Flex fuel package.

Botti has the sauce fellas!

I'm torn between botti and Visconti. RkTunes is optional too. Not sure.

Yea I was pretty certain I was going with Visconti. Surprised to here people recommending Botti. I knew about him from the STI/WRX community didn't even know Supra was in his wheel house.

Anyone care to share why they choose Botti over Visonti?

 

[suicidaleggroll]

Personally I chose Visconti because of the remote unlock he offers. No way was I going to hand my car’s ECU over to the clowns at UPS or FedEx and risk them losing it.

 

[superd6199]

i haven’t had the opportunity to work with Visconti yet but I’ve heard nothing but great things about him and his products. However I’ve done some work with Botti and seen a lot of his tunes on fellow Supra’s and he definitely has them dialed in.

I looked at all the known tuners and most all have a great track record, you really cant go wrong with most of them. I was able to meet up with Mikey at a local shop and I ended up buying his Ecutek package w/OTS 93 map. I was happy with the experience and he made a 2nd trip to Florida and had him do an e50 custom tune on the dyno at Real Street performance.

They happened to be doing testing for their own car and invited us to a private test n tune. Mikey gave me suggestions since I was running drag radials for the first time and also made a fine tuning adjustment while we were at the track. YMMV, but that is my experience.

I heard of great things about both of those tuners. Many locals have been tuned by them. Excellent customer service as well.......

let me tell you, flex fuel changes everything. My sweet spot is between e40-e60. Marin hijacked my sport display so that my torque meter reads my ethanol count. I usually run 7 gallons of 91 and 6 of E85 and that gives me a fantastic blend. I have found some gas stations have e54 so no blending needed. It’s definitely a game changer. Highly recommend but must be tuned by Marin or someone as capable. There may only be like 3 total people that perform the magic Marin does. Don’t follow ecuteks app that locates “ecutek master tuners” because that’s how i got my first pathetic tune (not by Marin). NO ISSUES AT ALL!
