I've done a fair amount of E85 tuning now along with E25 and E100 down in Brazil remotely, there is definitely nice power to be had and the flex fuel option makes it easier to deal with instead of manual map switching.

I'll talk to Emery about the flex fuel tuning, not sure why he would shy away from it on the Evo X's although it is pretty new. It would take a bit more time to tune and verify all is well at different ethanol values but then you just charge a bit more for the tune to account for the time.

gonna do the tephra v3 flex fuel converter kit over the winter here in CT. is it necessary to do the fuel rail and pressure regulator kit along with the pump and injectors?

So the time finally came this weekend to convert my daily driven 2008 Evo X GSR over to the new TephraV3 rom with all the flex fuel goodness. My good friend and tuner Tony as UMS Tuning handled all the tuning via his Dynapack (in case anyone is wondering this Dynapack has the updated software and reads within 1% of our local DJ). Little background on the car, its a daily driven 2008 Evo X GSR. It currently has 82k miles on the motor, turbo, drivetrain, etc. It is your basic bolt-on car. Last time it was on the dyno the car made 362whp and 362wtq at 26psi on 91 ACN fuel. The stock fuel system was pretty much maxed out. I'm very fortunate enough to live 5 miles from Injector Dynamics and I race with the owner in NASA, so I got hooked up with a set of fancy ID1300's. At this point I shopped around for fuel pumps. Decided on the DW300C cause it was the only one that was a 100% drop in 300+lph pump and had a killer warranty, hopefully it holds up. As far as the flex fuel kit I decided on the flex converter setup cause it was all plug-n-play and the bluetooth feature is just plain awesome (really hope it works on the iPhone really soon). Once we got everything installed we started tuning with 91 pump gas in the tank. He got everything dialed in and at 26psi on its best run the car did 358whp and 361wtq. Not too bad for this brutal AZ heat. At this point we drained the tank then filled it with E85. However we all know that it takes a little while for all the pump gas to get out of the fuel system so with just E85 we were at E76. So we added some E98 into the mix to bring it from E76 to E85. Once we got the ethanol content to E85 we started the tuning of that fuel. The target boost was 30psi. On its best pull the car made 406whp and 411wtq. Peak torque came in at 3500rpm, little freight train. At this point we started adding 91 pump gas into the system. We got the mix to E50-55 and made a few more tweaks. It's best pull at E50-55 was 380whp and 383wtq at around 28psi. The tuning was finished at this point. The car feels amazing. Pretty much the perfect street car in my opinion. There are a couple issues I would like to address, first being the DV. I'm sure its leaking like crazy. Either gonna give it a little crush or will upgrade to a Synapse DV. Might even borrow the Cobb DV off of my IX. Also will have to be conscious of the bottom end as 411wtq at 3500rpm on the stock rods is pusing it. Aside from this I think the car is pretty much good. I will enjoy it in this current state for a while. I also have a MAP cast manifold and a MAP EF2 with a MHI ported and coated hotside sitting on my shelf patiently waiting to join the fun, but i'll wait a little bit before I install them. All in all I am very pleased with this setup. I highly recommend it to anyone who swithces between pump and E85 often. The convenience factor alone is worth the extra money for this setup. Shout out to Tephra for taking the time to develop this. Thanks to flex converter for the killer flex fuel kit. Lastly thanks to Tony at UMS for the amazing tune.

ETS V2 quiet exhaust
Muse eliminator 02 dump
Muse 1 piece UICP

Best pulls of the night (4th gear):

358/361 @ 26psi on ACN91 from Shell
380/383 @ 28psi on E50-55
406/411 @ 30psi on E85

Pump gas AFR - 11.5
E85 AFR - 12.0 - 12.2

This is the dyno sheet of a few of the over lapping runs, I thought I got a pic of the best runs but it turns out I didn't. You get the idea though. (Ignore the low boost 15psi plot and afr)
