I have been playing around with different blends in the car and wanted to share with everyone how I'm doing it without a flex fuel kit and sensor.

Another video some of you might get something out of. Let me know what sort of videos you're looking for! And if you don't mind, hit that subscribe button! Thanks!

I have the JB4 and I went ahead and ordered the flex fuel kit from BMS. I'd much rather just check the JB4 gauge and know the exact number. How are the e30/50 maps working for you on the JB4? Can you feel the difference over map 3?

Map 5 with E40-50 is a big jump. I am going to be doing a Dragy test video showing a few different runs to n different maps and fuel contents.

Damn I can't wait then! You should check out the flex fuel kit on BMS' site. Install looks as easy as installing the JB4. And it integrates into it. You doing a downpipe soon?

Not until I can do an ECUTEK tune. I don’t want the check engine light on all the time.

I have a catless DP ready to go in once my exhaust goes in. It came with a defouler and miniature cat pipe that sits in front of the sensor. I am hoping that solves any potential CEL. I will let you know...

be careful on running more than e15 on stock fuel pumps and lines. E85 is high corrosive. If you plan on keeping your car long term, it’s going to kill your fuel system.

okay, well report back in 10 years running e85 and let me know how that goes for you. There is a reason why our gas cap stayed up to e15 only.
Lol
Ok. The e15 was min because many ecu and engines can’t cope w more. The fuel pumps cant pump enough and or the ecu does not know what to do. It does NOT foul or damage fuel systems.
Those issues disappeared 15 years ago.
My previous 2008 turbo engine made it to 180k Miles with e30-50 for at least 80k of that.
You are very wrong on this. Respectfully just trying to correct the information for those who may read this.
