I'd like to help since i run them on the stock turbo but I don't think my settings would apply since I am running E85.

Good luck, hopefully someone can give you a basemap or something. Personally i would go get a tune from a pro unless you are skilled at self tuning. The idle will take a while to dial in.

I really doubt that MIVEC has anything to do with fuel type.

I don't see how it wouldn't. I have seen several dyno's where e85 has helped spool turbo's faster which i am guessing has to do with mivec settings and timing not octane rating. I could be wrong.

But like i said even so i wouldn't be able to help much, didn't tune my own car and wouldn't give out mivec settings since they are my tuners maps.

Then why post?

If in the end you can't help. Makes no sense.

I gave him my take that he should seek a tuner rather than try to use some other person's mivec maps which odds are will not work.

I was simply stating i would help if i could. You also posted absolutely nothing relevant or helpful...works both ways pal

E85 spools faster because you burn more of it for a given power level, basically you end up with more exhaust gas per HP than you would with gasoline.

Makes sense, so i was correct to assume it spools faster and e85 mivec settings should be different, gotcha!

Indeed. I have a bunch of overlays with 20-30whp/20-30wtq gains from just adding E85 and scaling the injectors. Same timing, boost, mivec, etc as 91 pump gas. 93 YMMV.
