I spoke with BR already about that and they told me they already tuned the Genesis on e85 but have not made it available.
The reason why they have not made it available is because of the inconsistency of e85 quality at the pumps. During different seasons of the year you get different variations of ethanol in pumps. So I assume they do not want to tune your genesis for e85 and you go to the pump and get E70

Was there a significant increase in power?

We have done some in in house testing of E-85 and the shop car did have the Stage 3 turbo installed. However the gains were never documented in terms of WHP and TQ. We actually achieved the same results with good 93 octane pump gas. The real gains were in the cooling system where the colder combustion of E-85 helped us keep temps down on the road course. As stated above, E-85 can be very inconsistent from station to station and even from fill up to fill up. We may start offering E-85 tunes but your going to need a tester for ensuring proper mix and then the responsibility falls to you to ensure you have the right stuff. If there was a way for the end user to make small fuel adjustments, we would have done all this already.

Ok my bad, I didn't realize it wasn't a difference between 93 and E-85. I kind of figured that since you can run a lot more ignition then with 91 you would have made more power.
All the N/A honda's and most of the turbo'd hondas I have tuned I saw anywhere from 10whp all the way up to like 40whp gains, just because of how much ignition I was able to "safely" add. And even gas mileage wasn't too bad off afterwards since when you add ignition you can take away fuel. |
