Flex Fuel sensor with COBB?

Is this possible? I know Vishnu has/had a flex fuel sensor for running E85 mix.

Now, is there any way that the flex fuel sensor will work with COBB? Meaning, having a COBB map that adjusts the timing and psi according to the fuel mixture?

TIA

Cobb did it for GTRs by tapping into some unused input to the ECU. You don't even need the access port connected to the car, if I understood correctly.

I was told that they've been researching it for our platform as well but that was 3-4 months ago and it did not come directly from them.

I have the Vishnu kit and it is very convenient but there's nobody around who is willing to do a custom tune so I'm waiting for Cobb as well and will switch as soon as they have something.

That's exactly why I asked. Got a friend who has a GTR and COBB with flex fuel sensor.....

And like you said, Vishnu was the only one I knew that had it.....Now, I don't know where they are lol.....MIA
