Well it's true. If the average consumer was using that website to decide whether they could run E85 in the same model car as yours it would be correct. However, you have upgraded your fuel system and had your ECU tune modified to suit.


But what would be the difference between a prefl GT and postfl GT running stock roms and stock mechanically, and using United 100? Why is it okay for the post facelift but not the pre? Do they run a bit leaner or something?


I'm assuming because the preface GT was suitable for only 98 Ron and the post facelift is 95 (preface runs higher compression )

Everyone that has upgraded to E85 on our vehicles upgrade their injectors, fuel pump and preferably fuel regulator.

For those that have missed the development, the stock fuel consumption meter can now be recalibrated to show the correct fuel economy with an injector change :D

Yeah, GenV is fine.

Here's a spanner in the works...

What about if I'm using the 07+ gauge cluster in my prefacelift?

Any way of calibrating this to suit my 2.0 GT ecu?

The cluster is not relevant, it is the ECU output which determines the output. Your new injectors on E85 will be nearly a simple 5x stock value to get close, then measure actual consumption Vs calculated to determine how much % needs to be applied.

I tuned a car on United E85 this week. Tested at over 90% and tuned up well (270atw from FA20, despite boost controller tapering badly).

I really wish they'd roll this stuff out a bit quicker.

That shit crazy

What sort of timing are you seeing on the fa20's on e85 with peak boost / torque?

Dunno. I just randomly push buttons until they go.
