HighBarSHO Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 With the direct injection e85 is not recommended. Stock tune you could probably get away with 1/2 tank tops, but may run to lean. I ran 3 to 4 gallons on top of 93 pump on stock tune. Car felt fine, but not noticeably faster. Getting a tune from one of the vendors is the way to raise psi. Guy's are running 10-18 psi depending on mods etc. Someone is working on a port injection added to the direct injection to add the fuel needed for e85. fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
956sho Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes but what I want to kno ia there a inergrated boost controller or more timing and rpms raise the boost just really curious as to how thoae n7mbera are dialed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Does any body know what the stock boost is and what the various stages of Livernois tunes produce? I believe the stock boost is 8-12 with most cars running about 10psi. LMS tunes 91 & 93 get you 12-15psi (adds 3-5psi) Meth 15-18psi With the stock tune in my gauge reads 10psi, with 91 or 93 it''s 14.5-15psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Stock boost is in the 8-11psi range(s) The various "stages" of LMS tune files increase boost from 11-14psi The guys running Methanol on the Stage 5 are peaking, or quickly maxing at 18psi on the stock turbo's with the required addition of the 3bar MapV Sensor The stock / OEM 2bar Mapv Sensor will only allow a max of 14.2psi Two EBOF members (who are running the aftermarket, upgraded turbo's) are running in the 20-22psi range(s) As far as the use, or inclusion of E85..... there is an Eco owner, albeit from another community, who is in the current testing phases of using E85 fuel, and the work that individual has put in, has been to say the least....... extensive. Completely custom fuel rails, tank, you name it. Results are still pending. Hope that answers some, or most of the OP's question(s).

Crash712us Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 As for tuning yourself. I believe it has yet to be done. e85 the fuel system isn't capable to meet fuel needs on e85, all thought there is guy that added 6 injector to his intake and a separate controller to run e85. But its still in very early stages of development and is yet to be tried as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCoSho Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I see anywhere from 8 to 14lbs of boost and from what I can tell, there is no rhyme or reason to it. It's like a boost lottery when I'm driving. Sometimes I win, sometimes not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 It's tough to decipher the poor spelling, but I think what the original poster is asking is HOW Ford controls the boost (via the PCM) and how a tune can increase boost (mapping in the PCM firmware). -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13-SHO Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Can the SHO fuel system ie pump, fuel lines, & gas tanks survive E-85? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighBarSHO Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Can the SHO fuel system ie pump' date=' fuel lines, & gas tanks survive E-85?[/quote'] Yes. Most late model cars can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
956sho Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sorry guys didnt know I was in college or high school to spell everything proper. What mean to ask is how os it controlled via pcm or does it have boost controller? I know the wastegates are computer activated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Can you run the 3bar sensor without meth to allow more boost? like 15 to 16 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Can you run the 3bar sensor without meth to allow more boost? like 15 to 16 psi. Doesn't work like that, the methanol properties allows the tuner to safely increase boost. Without it at these psi these motors would be short lived.
