Any E85 users?

How does E85 work with out a tune?

Its too lean. You need basically double sized injectors/fuel to run it. Then obviously a tune for the larger injectors.

Is the 1.4 flex fuel from the factory ? (2012 or 2013 ECO)

The engine itself is E85 rated. It's the fuel system, including injectors that is rated only to E15.

The tune itself has options of flex fuel. I don't know if this is a general base computer plat form used on other vehicles or it was considered to run in the Cruze.

E85 burns cooler which is why you can run more boost/timing and a lot less prone to detonation (KR). I usually recommend to others not running it in the winter because of the longer hard starts.
With the 93oct tune I'll see the car maybe just leave the bottom of the temp gauge after a complete 20min warm up on remote start. (I know you hyper milers are hating me for that statement lol)

You warm up you're car for 20 minutes?!

I'm still waiting to see an LPG or CNG Cruze.

This is tuned for it or you just add it and you are having the computer to make up the difference?

I have been tuned for it since September 2011, I have a 2012

I'm probably buying the kit this weekend.

ICruze2, hows this tune? Is it different than the standard Trifecta tune?

I had Vince run me a tune for it September 2011, when I ran 15.3, I haven't run it since. He told me the computer was showing me hp/tq numbers in the 190 range. This was before my axle-back/silencer delete and my fmic. I am planning to get the larger injectors so I can run a full tank of e85 and I believe I can break the 15 mark, hopefully with a 14.8...wishful thinking I know. I have a 1lt/rs automatic

and yes, it dropped me 3 tenths in the 1/4 on 1/3 of a tank of e85 and 2/3 92

My best on 93 with tune, intake, and catback was a 16.1, but I basically spun through 1st, could've easily been in the mid 15's had I stuck to the pavement.

I'm hoping with the E85 tune and injectors, I'm going to try a 1/3 tank of full E85, and pinpoint optimal ignition timing for an easy mid/low 15's, and ultimately shoot to be one of the first 14sec Cruzes.

You didn't get the injectors in the kit?

Well 1st its the wife's car. And no I usually don't but it has happened a couple times when she started it. This is only 30-40* weather not too cold, at least for here.
