I actually forgot. It works now. Try forwarding Justin's email to yourself. See if it shows up then. I hate what Google did to gmail.

Pretty much wrapped up my 91 tune on the S4 with Justin. Cali 91 strikes again and we had to dial timing back because of knock. This thing is fun as hell to drive and the boost curve feels so damn smooth compared to the k04. I basically picked up 30hp and 30tq with the S4.

307 on an S4? DAMN, 91 Octane!!!!! Shit. That's gotta be a vdyno thing. You gotta have more than that. I have been wanting a S3 and I'm in AZ, with only 91. Hmm.

Yeah the 91 gas out here is just so damn unpredictable station to station so its best to play it on the safer side. I travel a lot. I'm everywhere and i cant necessarily fill up at the same shell gas station that i know has "good" gas. Oh well. Onto my E85 toon! Knock wont stand a chance!

I'm in the same boat. I drive a lot. I don't have E85 in my near future. I just like to fill up and go. I not looking to be he fastest, also. Hmm. I may just go S4 then, after this post.

How was the S4 install?

The s4 is fully spooled by 3900rpm according to my logs. I'd say the s3 is a tad bit quicker. But not by much. Both turbos flow much better than the k04 and you can definitely feel it. They keep on making power all the way to redline where the k04 falls flat. The install was a piece of cake. If you remove the EGR valve, you wont have to remove the exhaust manifold which saves a ton of time. Also if you already have a down pipe installed, that helps too as removing the stock down pipe is a PITA. It can be done in a day but over a weekend is best to give you time. No fab of coolant lines or oil lines was necessary. Honestly the only sticking point i had was because i bought the turbo used, it didn't come with new down pipe studs and nuts. THAT was a b*tch extracting them and reusing them! GO FOR IT!

All great info. Thanks!

That does seem kinda low, I hope that's an issue with v dyno since I have an S4 on the way. Lol
Here's my stock turbo on an E85 flash tune.

Thats pretty much what i had on the k04 with a e33 blend. I'm happy with the 310 on shitty 91. Of course if it was 93, it could have been an extra 10-20hp. I'm looking forward to starting my e33 tune soon.

[ryguy 3]

Yeah I guess it would be nice to have that on pump gas, you still on the stock block?

Look at both your vd's
one is in 3rd gear the other in 4th, and almost an 1 inch difference in tire height. Hard to compare.

Yeah and i don't plan on building until i need to. The engine is running strong at 84k miles. I was around 272hp at a similar psi on the k04.

That's about where I am now on my K0snore. Mine is at 143k and still running strong.

Welp. Thats how you do it. E33 base map!

Nice man. Good numbers. What's up with the log numbers? I have a v2 also and my pedal position always reads 99 when I'm at WOT. And my open loop reads as .16, where your reads 0. Just found that odd and made me curious and to the difference.

I cont wait to be in the 300's.

Log numbers? As in 1,2,3 like what i posted above? Meh i have ocd and delete the logs in my AP after each revision lol so they always start from 1 for Justin.

I do that too. But for me. I was meaning how your pedal position never goes to 99 and your LTFTs read 0, while mine read .16.

It's all about how you treat her. I bought mine at 93k.

[Tifosi42]

I just finished my pump 93 tune with Freektune, it took 5 revisions from the OTS and I have to say there definitely is a difference in power from the OTS to being fully Freeked. The car pulls hard and strong with no drivability issues whatsoever which is important as my car is daily driven. I would definitely recommend going from Freek OTS to a full tune once your at a point in your mod process where you won't be adding more go fast parts. Now for the in tank methanol tune!

[Atticaz]

When my tune was completed, BAT's were about 120 max. Car was doing great, feeling great, running great. Then it heated up to 117 outside!!! KR started getting crazy when BAT's reached 140-150. One day it hit 5.96 and held for the last half of my 4th gear wot pull. It spiked, but then started dropping. It had dropped to 1.4 by the time I let off.

I have not seen it that high ever and never again since then. But, I was still getting wacky KR numbers in the 2's very frequently in part throttle and as high as 2.5, with 140+ BAT's.

I was told by a local Nator member to pop a gallon of E85 in and see what happens. So I did. KR disappeared. There were only few blips of .3's and .7's here and there. After 25 or so miles of testing her out; easing into the power, I got brave. I reverted my tune to an earlier revision, that had more boost and blasted out 3 pulls with High BATS... two 4th gear and one 3rd. one blip of .3 in all three runs!! Fuck you 91 Oct!!

I did a morning wot pull the next day. I was VERY PLEASED. the car has been a joy to drive. E is magical. Now I want the E85 tune. You guys weren't kidding.

***Log names contain the starting BAT numbers. The VD is from the morning run.

Side not: Yesterday, when I got home, I noticed my coolant reservoir was bubbling like crazy. I'm pretty sure its the high temps and the crack in my reservoir that's doing it. I have new reservoir coming and used JB Plastic Weld to, hopefully, hold it over. waiting for it to cure. Fingers crossed that the head gasket isn't toast.

I have no smoke, care has full power (evident by VD, below) and cylinders are dry.

Lol now you finally see why I kept trying to convince you!

I'm shedding my noobish ways. Curious form when I get this tune... How exactly do you go about filling up, to make sure you have the correct mix?

If the tank is about empty to put the 4 gals of E85 in first, correct? And what if you are almost empty but have a 1/4 or 1/2 tank? How will I know how much to mix, without having to go full-on math wiz?

[PurplFox]

An e time will net you much closer to 300 without fear of knock I cant wait to finish my 93 just to get back on the e

[Omega]

There's fuel mix cheat sheets on the forum. You'll have to know how many gallons you can fit typically you just fill up when you're low. Start experimenting now with regular and write down how many gallons you can put in at different intervals.... Don't ever expect to top off on an e85 tune but you can get real close

Got 'em. Fuel mix cheat sheets

Hey guys question currently running e50 mix withe the ets top mount pushing about 360whp
Will a tr8 fmic with a rich up tune give me more power or should I just stay where I am?

[PurplFox]

That would depend on if your having issues with heat soak.
lot of info left out to make that decision

Hell yeah man! Glad you jumped on board the E train haha! I just finished up my e33 tune with Justin and the car roasts tires gears 1-3. We had to switch to 4th gear logs which is difficult to do here in san diego at speeds of 105+ Fortunely i have 4 stations near me with E85 and i recently picked up a 5gal gas can to load up on so i always have it on me. My 91 tune is so damn conservative compared to my e85 tune. I'm addicting to E! I'm thinking of picking up a new exahust manifold and waiting on details about damond motorsports intake manifold adapter plate.

I'd love to see your final revision vdyno pull, if you have one.

I'm excited for my E33 tune. I need to do a few repairs first though.

I'm moving back to Cali starting Friday. I feel like I'll have to do like an 91+e40 blend just get the same power I have with a 93 tune. But I'm in the same boat..can't wait to get some .
