Is there a way to make the evo x flex fuel compatable.

My all time favorite mod I have ever done to any of my cars is making my turbo s2000 flex fuel compatable with the aem ems series 2. Boost and timing is all automatically adjusted and is dependent on the %of ethanol in the tank. My s2000 makes 442whp on 91 octane and 650whp on e85. It will make anything in between wether I run E40 or e60. No more switching maps or draining tanks of pump gas or e85 to switch fuels.

I want this for the evo x.l as I plan to buy an evo x soon.

I see that aem does not make an ems for the evo x. Is this correct? Is that a way to make the stock ecu flex fuel or are there any other after market ecu's that are flex fuel compatable?


Here's a pic of my s2000 after I just pumped 6 gallons of 91octane into my take of e85.

as far as I understand there isnt any true flex fuel set ups available for the X. as there is for other vehicles.

wish there was though cause makes it difficult when you have to switch,and when they do crappy winter blends and your car is set for 85% and your gettin 70%.

There's been talk about making a patch for OpenEcu to do that, allegedly in Tephramod V3

So... The answer to my question is that there is no ecu that is out for the evo x that has flex fuel capability. So there's no way for the evo x to be flex flex. That a serious bummer. As I feel that flex fuel is one of the greatest mods to any turbo car.

I can't wait to get flex fuel on my s2000 but to answer your question no go on the evo x. You can still do e85 but will need to adjust tunes manually for the content. I am wondering if you can get an aem infinity and make a harness for it.
