right thats the best opinion yet. Our conversation went pretty much like we dont wanna blow anything up lol. Then I got on the forum like sheesh I should be at least 30whp more. Another huge thing was my 91 octane was giving a tad of knock detonating you know so that didnt help anything neither.

 

Those are the variables that are important... Are you going back to diagnose it further?

 

10.0AFR at WOT? WTF?! Have your car retuned by a reputable person(forum sponsor ideally) then call slowmotion back and demand your money back.

At that rich of an AFR your washing down cylinders, no bueno. Also technically there is no such thing as a conservative tune, 10.0afr is far outside of the "conservative" range. Also this person taking 6.5hrs to tune your car is a huge red flag in it self.

 

yea next week i'm doing e85 so i'll jus dual map and keep that gas map I wont be using it much

 

yea my honda buddy said he couldve taken that out to 11.8ish at wot but its a constant 10, i'm a tuned noob I look at a/f lambda charts and whatnot but no real experience what "right" looks like

 

Where are you located? We need to get you to the right person to tune your car. All you need is the special hose and then you are good to go on E-85 since you already have the injectors and fuel pump.

 

I would get a retune from a reputable tuner asap.

 

yea the shop has 2 tuners i'll call and talk to the owner and see if we cant work somthin out. They're reputable tuners, stuff happens i'm sure they'll get me right.

 

all fuel lines are E85 compliant
and your filter is too
whole car is


running you at 10.0 AFR is really dangerous. You should just go to a different shop. It looks like these guys don't know how to tune a 3 port, cuz those numbers are terrible. Dyno can vary a lot, but those AFR's are not good.

 

no lines are ethanol compliant because all gasoline contains <10% ethanol. But running 85% ethanol is a different story. More of a safe than sorry thing..

 

nope, they are all e85 compliant
I've ran E85 in 3 of my Evo X's for over 4 years, 80k miles, not a single issue.

 

Some of the Walbro 255 install kits came with non-E85 compatible pickup tubes at one time (maybe still?), I think that might be what has the OP confused.

 

no, it wasnt.. UPDATE the owner of the shop was on vacation (primary tuner owns 8 second evo 8) and he's retuning it monday. With e85 how it sits. Thanks for the insight, he agreed whole-heartedly

 

Retune

 

yup.. e85 dyno vid and chart will be up monday!!
