My car is not flex fuel but I do have dedicated e50 and e85 tunes. My understanding is that e85 is pushing the limits of volume that the stock fuel system can supply. e50 is still around 102 octane, so it has plenty of knock resistance, but does not require as rich a mixture. Hence the volume of fuel required is more comfortably within the capability of that which the fuel pumps and injectors can supply. Therefore the tune can be more aggressive. Testing on various other engines has shown that the majority of benefit is achieved around e50-60 and beyond that you reach the point of diminishing returns except in all out race engines.

Are there any post intercooler setups available yet?

we originally started development on a direct port meth system when these cars first came out. we were semi close to final design and release. but EOS released their Port injection Kit (for like regular fuel and etc) so we kinda put the Direct port meth kit on hold since figured most people would be buying the Port injection kit from EOS.

if there is still interest for it, it can be finished.

Correc E50 has plenty of octane. A study by MIT showed E40-50 is where you break into the 100+ area. Bu there are some extra benefits of increased ethanol but they are mild. This car is a little more sensitive than some but you really gain minimal pass E50. But the flow requirements are hard to handle getting past that and we have to reduce torque down low a decent ibt.

You should talk to your tuner about how they want to go about this.

I start everyone on 91 octane and dial the car in. And then i have my procedure that we go through after that.
Sounds good. I'll reach out to you when ready.

I would NOT run e85 without going to port. e50 pushes the limits of the stock fuel system so e85 would destroy it. I remember hearing early on some people having to replace their factory pumps when running e85 and they're 1200 each! Definitely not worth it imo.

Just had my car tuned on Ecutek running 93 pump gas. I was running stage 2 OTS BM3. I don't have any baseline pulls on BM3 as I flashed the car to stock before it was put on the dyno. I'm impressed with the way the car feels now. The power delivery is extremely refined compared to BM3. The car was tuned by Mike Botti and he was awesome all the way through the process, really down to earth and friendly guy. My mod list is Titan Motorsports catless downpipe, MST Instake, and Boost Logic non valved system.

I have a tuning question. My car is currently stock and had some computer problems like wiper blade twitch (fixed) and no power when cold start in the mornings (in service atm being fixed). How they have attempted and fixed these issues is by reseting all the computer components and or pulling them out and reinstalling the software.

I want to tune this car but was worried that if these issues arise again and they reset or reinstall software will if override the tune? If it does will i be able to reflash the car or will i have to unlock the ecu all over again and buy another license? Any input would be great. @Twisted Tuning

I think you should start to worry about getting your car 100% before doing literally anything else right now.

if by chance your ECU was one of the ones that didnt need an unlock initially, it will certainly need one once the dealer updates the modules. The Dealer software on the toyota side does not have and "Expert" mode like the BMW version. That means they cant just update individual modules. They have to update of them that get pinged for an update.

So, yes, there is a possibility of needing to perform a bench unlock after dealer updates. almost certain they will update to the locked ROM (not the new bootloader lock).
