Over in the ECUflash forum there is a good "max load" reference thread.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ec...eing-guys.html

I thought I might be helpful to have that info specifically for E85 users.

Please post: engine size if not 2.0L, turbo, elevation, and max load.

Anything else that needs to be included? Intake maybe.

 

That load calc is only relative to stock ECU people. So collecting this information in the Alt. Fuel forum won't yield good results. People here are running many various ECU's which see and calculate load differently which will give you varying results. Your best bet is to either correlate the E85 posts from your previous link or start this thread over in the ECUFlash forum.

 

Correct. This is after all the top EVO website/forum. I think it is fair to presume every member is using the OEM ECU unless stated otherwise.

Maybe. I think you might be over estimating the popularity of after-market ECU's in the EVO community. The list of benefits that a standalone ECU can offer over the OEM ECU has shrunk considerably in recent years. I think the actual number of standalone ECU's would be a very small percentage.

 

jim I am seeing 350ish at 28psi on my IX with E85, TBE ,intake, FP4R's...update now 32 psi seeing 375 with addition of AMSOIL cone filter instead of stock airbox

 

Thanks for the input.

That's exactly same as me. I'm peaking at 350 1byte load, 28psi, E85, IX turbo on an VIII at 2,400 feet elevation.

About how high are you located?

I was concerned that I was seeing loads that were too high. Maybe not.

 

about 500ft

 

355 at 28 psi, in Kansas

 

I see right around 310 peak 1byte load at 27 psi ~1000 feet above sea level on my 9 MR during a 3rd gear pull.

Current Mods:
Tephra v7
E85

255 Walbro

Since so many things will factor into what load you will hit, this thread can't be of much use. Things like MAF scaling, Injector scaling, intake pipes, cams...etc will cause HUGE variances in what loads one setup will see as opposed to another.

Don't put too much weight in what load you're seeing. It's just a reference.

 

What would it matter in the first place? We are just telling about loads its not like someone is using them to tune their car.

I've seen 380+ @ 5800 FT @ 30 psi, stock 2.0, HKS 272's, IX turbo, and ETS intake.

 

That's my point, why compare something that means nothing? I'm making it known that the load one setup see's doesn't mean a single thing. Why even talk about them, unless you don't understand what little they really mean. Just sayin'. That's like comparing fuel maps...lol. You don't see people do it, because it's counter-productive and useless. Same thing here.

I'm just stating facts, since it seems a lot of you my not understand this fact, i felt the need to chime in.

 

Perfect example of iTune's statement as I see about 290 load.


2.3 stroker, gt4088r at around 30psi. 3000'+ density altitude(1700ft with 100+ ambient temps) OEM ecu with SD.

 

Exactly.....my point exactly.

@26 psi on my FP Black, i see 290-300 loads. You see what i'm saying people?

 

450 at peak torque and about 360 at 7k. With SD and other means or tinkering with the settings you can make it read whatever you want tho. Mines just from throwing mods on car using fp silicone intake and perrin filter and stock maf with no screen and no maf calibrating so im sure it can be lowered.

 

Now seeing 375 with stock turbo see post above
