    Dual Tune, e85/93

    Can Allen dual tune these FFV? Low octave tables would be 930, high octave tables would be e85.

    I have seen some dual flash pcms. Google it and you will get what you are looking for. However, they have been know to have problems but still interesting concept. If you wanted to do it right just buy HP Tuners and flash the tunes as you need them.

    That would be interesting. E85 requires so much more fuel. Do the octain table offer fueling changes or just timing curves? I havnt seen the ability to change the fueling curve or I'd be looking into this also

    Or? How would running e85 effect a 93 tune? I've always just had Allen do a ferocious 93 tune on my trucks. Maybe I'll just keep it that way!

    fueling correction is made in the VE table. The high and low octane tables only change spark. If you ran e85 on a 93 tune you would be lean. E85 requires a lot more fuel than gasoline. They have different stochiometeric 14.7 gas vs. 10.5 (don't remember exact number for e85 but think 10.5 is close)

    I think I remember reading 9.7 for e85?

    Just looked at my notes on E85 from school. You are right about 9.7 for true e85 but 10.5 is better for winter blend. This makes you rich on summer blend and just right on winter blend. Better to be rich than lean. For those who are unaware and may read this E85 is blended with more gas in the winter for easier cold starts. This means that it is not always truly E85.

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.

    Toyota sends the master techs to update classes several times a year. Some of our new Tundras and Sequoias are flex fuel ready. So we went to a two day class on just flex fuel technology used by Toyota and E85. I also went through Toyota's two year training school to get there. Here is a link to one of the automotive competitions I have won. News Link
