E85.. Tuned & Running

Monday's here, and the tank is emptied of 98.
So i went and filled the tank with the 20L of E85.

























I then went and added around 30% more fuel into the 2nd fuel table, and added some more ignition timing into the 2nd ignition table.
Ran the car for a while on idle to clear out the 98 that was in the fuel rail, and then took it for a drive.!
(I had to make a few more adjustments to the fuel table to get it right, but got it pretty good in the end)

As for the AFR i set it like this.

*If you're using a wideband that is calibrated for gasoline(14.7:1) and cannot change the calibration of the wideband, take your gasoline AFR and divide it by 1.5 to get actual e85 AFR or use the wideband in lambda mode. 1 lambda is 9.8:1
Here are some common AFR conversions(Gas AFR on left, e85 on right):
18.0:1=12.000
17.5:1=11.666
17.0:1=11.333
16.5:1=11.000
16.0:1=10.666
15.5:1=10.333
15.0:1=10.000
14.5:1=9.666
14.0:1=9.333
13.5:1=9.000
13.0:1=8.666
12.5:1=8.333
12.0:1=8.000
11.5:1=7.666
11.0:1=7.333
Of course, all engines are different and there is still a lot of trial and error when tuning any setup. Having the ability to measure torque output is a must for tuning both fuel and ignition timing with E85. We are only talking about E85's fuel properties in this thread and not taking into consideration ignition timing, boost pressures, different E85 fuel mixtures..etc. Care must be taken when combining all the aspects of the tune and setup, to assure proper limits and safety.
