I don't want to sound rude but that's the way its going to sound. You keep saying my s2k had this or my s2k had that...bro an Evo isn't an s2k. While I appreciate quality builds out of any car, its apples and oranges. An s2k isn't even on the same page as the Evo, let alone the same book.
When you get you Evo, try out a dual map....because living in SoCal you're limited as it is on gas variety; you would end up just running 91oct 95% of the time.

Jon posted this on FB today with the caption : Another stock ecu evo x #flexfuel car done with #flexconverter.comhardware and 5150 Racing custom lines and fittings

What's the long term advantages/disadvantages? Wont this just cause a degradation of your internals over longer periods of time?

I am not sure. Might be a good question to ask the tuners.

Thanks Macky, I review my fb feeds... Just wondering how it's done. I know CAN systems has different approach about auto adjust them selfs, but I wonder if Jon could hack the entire ECU logic and include another additional instructions or substitute Mitsubishi logic to lead the flexfuel sensor and adjust into different areas.. I mean my curious is more into the geek part of understand the different between new custom tune... my recognition to Jon to accomplish this milestone.
Yeah when I saw the notification this am, this thread immediately popped into my mind. I think that opens up a lot of possibilities for the 4B11T. Great job by 5150!

Is it a flex fuel sensor display kit installed? Or is the car actually tuned to be able to use any mix of 91 and E-85?
Actually Tephra is working on full flex fuel option for the EVO X currently.

seems to be a flexfuel sensor (maybe GM flexfuel sensor) and the ECU adjust the tune automatically. Maybe Jon completed what currently Tephra is going or Tephra completed the project and Jon collaborate with him. Not sure how shops and tuners work together. But finally something new in the Evo X community.
I only got one question: why?

It seems like laziness. Because it sure isn't for money saving purposes when I comes to fuel prices.

Because it's f*cking awesome. Use whatever ratio of gasoline and ethanol. E10, E40, E69, E3.14, Ewhateverthefuckyouwant, oh, and E85 and E98 of course. :)
The part that sucks is taking the time (or spending the $$$$) to set it up properly. But when you're done, the ECU will be able to recalibrate its maps on the fly based off whatever ratio you are currently using.
Here's a good video of Lucas English demonstrating the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjPZbwfItVQ

Yes we can do Flex Fuel on Evo X =) Any mixture true FLEX FUEL ... it's just not a Ethanol Display Unit.
Email us at [email protected] so we can set you up with an appointment to get you squared away.

Ralphy, is it any pre-requirement to have the car ready?
I know most of the information clarified by email, but it's going to be valuable to have a overview description just to have a better understanding about this upgrade, benefits and additional considerations.
Only thing you need to run Flex Fuel is of course your basic E85 Components. Injectors, Pump, 3 Port and some sort of HFC/TP and of course our FF Kit. We have done a handful of Flex Fuel Evo X's now and soon my personal X will be converted to Flex Fuel. It's pretty awesome on how quick the adjustments are made when the content changes. With our FF Kits, they have a Bluetooth unit that you get. You would DL a app and you'll be able to see live fuel temps and E85 % Level.
With that being said, it's pretty neat to know that even when you think you drained the tank of 91 and top off with E85... It's not even close to E85 lol. I dont want to know what it's life from E85 drain for 91 Pump. We'll find out that shortly.

The TRUE benefit for a Flex Fuel kit isn't about "power" as that doesn't change.
It's for really just a convenience factor of not having to worry how much fuel is in the car when pumping either E85 or 91. You no longer have to stress about running the car completely empty before switching maps. You can be at a half tank and just fill up on either 91 or E85.
Granted it still acts as a E85 tune if it's strictly E85 in it. The Ecu will know the changes of the content and adjust accordingly.
With Tephra V3, you no longer switch maps.... it's already done and set for you. Just get tuned..... and enjoy the car.

Will the Flex Fuel Kit work on EVO X MR as well?
