Full E85. Straight from the pump. Fuel trims are perfect and car is RIPPING to 7800 now on shifts. 10R80 car. No more throttle closing or anything.
Please excuse the stupid questions, but the fuel pumps and injectors everything else will run E85? Are you running it from a pump at a gas station, and, if so, the tuned car has no problem with the different percentages you actually get at the pump (rarely or never actually 85%)? Does this result in a significant horsepower gain over 93 octane?

Did you have to change or modify anything else? O2 sensors?

With the new tuning capabilities what's best for someone undecided on which option to go with.
Helion Twin Turbo
Procharger
Whipple Supercharger
Roush Supercharger

GO
Probably a little early to decide that. Nobody has actually tuned any of those yet on an S650.

This just reminded me that the person on these forums with the twin turbo Carbonized Gray Dark Horse can now tune his car. I wonder what numbers he's gonna get...
Who is that?

Was he driving it on a Whipple tune or was it just sitting in his garage waiting on tuning to become available?

Does this work with European version of Mustang GT 2024? We have 40HP less from the factory and GPF filter. Can we somehow get this HP, remove GPF etc.

Will removing the GPF filter from your exhaust cause you to be committing a crime? I do not know anything about European Union or Macedonian laws.

I love your avatar, by the way. Great movie.

I think its great news. What shocked me is worth ported heads and intake and all the other mods this car only made 434rwhp. The tune is just putting it all together.
They are still working through the kinks. Im working on mine now and there are some big differences between the gen3 and 4. My car not taking the same changes the gen3 did. But its going to take time to refine.

IIRC he had loaded the Whipple tune, but don't quote me on that. EDIT: He is stock, untuned.

He was driving it but gently and under low boost conditions. I'll see if I can't find it.

EDIT: I found it:
Finished up the turbo install on my Darkhorse,

Were the heads ported? All I heard was intake.

Anyway, with the tune it made more than 434, and we all know that tunes are needed to maximize modifications of any sort on a naturally aspirated car.

Part of the reason I didn't move forward with the S650 is the terrible leasing and price but also the lack of tuning, I went ahead with my G87 M2 which I do love. I have to admit if this was out with the current pricing (lease) of the S650 it definitely could have changed my mind.

Yeah but even stock they are super limited, moreso than Ive ever seen on the S550. There is a ton on the table, but letting it loose is been a problem today. The car likes some changes, but not all of them. I am running perfect on E with all the trans set right to not skip shift and all the stock garbage it does.

So he is drag racing a twin turbo S650 with a stock tune???




Scary stuff. I do not think I would do that . . .

I am sure we would all be interested in hearing more about your tune on E85 and how it is doing once you have more time under your belt. I am very curious what sort of horsepower gains running E85 with a tune might garner.
