Gains from E85 (ethanol) on an N/A bolt on 370Z

VitViper - is there a provision to run ethanol-content sensor like my GM truck has and incorporate its output to create a "flexible" table?

Ecutek has recently released "flex fuel" and Fast Intentions is working on putting together a kit for it.

Never mind I found it. 5 or 6 Cylinder - E85FlexBox

It's just a couple EFI fittings you can get on Summit, then the Zeitronix digital to analog convertor and a content sensor. Really simple. If I get bored I'll build a parts list of the correct fittings to buy.

Yes, ECUTek.

ECUTek didn't release "flex fuel" per-say. Their software allows for custom maps to be written, and the tuner is able to use those custom maps to add Flex Fuel support into the ECU.

VV,

Great write up! Any chance you could publish a parts list to go E85?

Our Z is about to be Twin Turbo here in the next couple weeks, so the flex kit (if I have the time to put together one) I'm just going to integrate into the fuel line kit FT sells for their TT kit. When I pull the motor I can take a look at the fuel lines and give you guys the part #'s to buy to integrate the flex sensor to the stock fuel system.

If I don't forget... lol
