Hey what's up man. It's Derrick with the space grey 335i and white WRX. See you at Kemah all the time.

Dekansnowman · 04-06-2016, 09:40 AM

Wow, more in my area than I would've imagined. I'm going to look for E90Post stickers to put on the car.

So Tuned3, I'm curious about your mods and such because I have FBO setup, and using a COBB, but haven't taken my car to the track for times.

Hey bud, I have the usual stuff. Jb4 with MHD Flash, Catless DP's, DCI, And Alpina flash. I run e85 also. I took the car back to the track but before I left it tried to flash the car with the mhd and my battery charger took a shit during the flash. It was a nightmare lol. So I was already prepped for the track so I took it anyways. No mhd and it ran the same time with 1 MPH quicker. I planned to take it back by the end of March but I got tied up on taking my WRX. If you make it out to the track let me know.

Car is currently at Two Brother's Auto getting battery swapped/coded, OFHG replacement, and a tuneup. They're also giving me a quote on upgrading turbo cartridge similar to what Pure and others do. Once I get that done, I'm definitely going to see what the car can do.

Quick question about E85. What all have you done to use this fuel? Pump upgrade? Injectors?

I haven't done anything fuel related. With the jb4 you can run an E85 mix and the tune makes the adjustments for you. I'm not sure what the Cobb has to offer. I run the AP on my WRX but I had it protuned for e85 and on that one I did all the fuel upgrades necessary.

Dekansnowman · 04-06-2016, 09:51 PM

I had the aforementioned shop do a protune as part of a special they ran where you paid $700 for the Cobb V3 and got a protune. It was the end of February, my car was stock, but it was the last day of the special. I plan on upgrading the turbo, then I'll re-tune again for everything I've done so far.

Main reason I was asking is because I was curious if your factory pump and injectors were able to handle the E85. Some cars can't because it's corrosive, others simply because pump and injectors can't provide enough flow.

From what I've read there has been no ill side effects from running E. I've been doing for 3 yrs now with no issues.

Dekansnowman · 04-06-2016, 10:14 PM

Interesting. I'll be sure to search out more info on that.

Dekansnowman · 04-08-2016, 09:31 PM

Anyone out here at Royal Purple? I see a handful of E90s.

tuned3 · 04-09-2016, 09:45 AM

Also at RPR last night. Extremely packed but still a decent turn out. Got to meet a few e90 members who had some great cars. Hope to see yall again.

Dekansnowman · 04-09-2016, 03:26 PM

I learned that I'm FBO and only achieved 13.2 1/4mi time. This is boo boo.
