E85 is AWESOME!

[FoMoCoSHO]

I am up to 3 gallons (13.89% with my previous fillup mix) which bumps octane to 94.9

Are you tuned for this?

No.

FYI, via Torque Pro, I have observed a torque boost. I never saw over 298 WTQ before adding E-85. Now I am seeing 305-310 with one romp showing 318. I am on day 2 of the higher mix. Something I did see today was 310 TQ in 3rd gear low rpm high boost acceleration. Kinda surprised me.

[FoMoCoSHO]

Today, Torque logged 330.7 WTQ @1635 rpm, low rpm high boost.

It quickly dropped so I don't know if Torque was being goofy or the ECM saw something it didn't like and reduced power.

If it happens again, it could be you don't have enough fuel.  Can you log FRP ( after DI pump)  It needs to stay above 1,000 PSI.  I ran a mix of E-85 at the strip a few weeks ago.  Not sure how much it helped.  Had my best Non-Methanol spray 1/8 mi times ever.  Of course I also have a Kenne Bell BAP to increase the LPFP volume by spinning it up to 50% faster.

I will check the torque logs,

FRP is one of the pids I'm logging.

What mix did you run?

I'm at about 14% and my LTFTs are starting to creep up.

So today I was out running some errands and "playing" a bit. I was paddle shifting in SPORT mode playing with my shift points a'la 4DR's shift point thread.

4 way stop, slow roll out and punched it...car started moving to the right (not where it was pointed) it kind of startled me as the car never behaved like this before. Traction has never been an issue...looked at my phone and torque showed 323.2 WTQ @ 3739 RPM. I'm really irritated with myself for lifting but like I said, it caught me off guard.

Conditions were 50 degrees, dry and level pavement.

I think 4DR is right, the ECU in this car is very intelligent both with the ability to save itself from ruin, but also being able to increase power if it likes what it sees. Torque NEVER showed more than the high 290's before E85. (Which from the stock dynos I've seen seems pretty accurate.

Should post a log or two up.

Should post a log or two up.

I need to add WTQ and WHP to my logging too. Derp.

[EcoBrick Bob]

Maybe this isn't the place for this... but my WIFE put E-10 87 in our G8 that is cammed, and tuned for 93... Luckily she was only driving on the interstate....
We have been married for 45 years... WHAT CAN I SAY?  G8 is going into 6 mo storage... guess I need to add some 93!!!! Wanted it near empty when it sits.

So I'm trying to attach this log file in csv format but I don't see see an attach button. I can see it in the browse box but can't get it to the message box.

Any ideas?

[FoMoCoSHO]

Lol, jeez.

I get it now, if it's in the box, it's attached.

I looked at the log... Not meaningful when your RPM never exceeds 2K... Also... I always log MPH... that way when I'm doing WOT runs I can see at what MPH and gear I'm having the worst #''s.  What software version are you using for logging?

LOL, gimme a break, I'm new to this!

I'm using Torque and I'm trying to figure out how to keep track of the logs.

I added WTQ, WHP, intake temps.

Changed logging to .25s instead of 1.

I will add MPH, but I don't see a gear option in Torque.

Thanks for your patience.

[FoMoCoSHO]

When I get or receive call through SYNC, it seems Torque stops monitoring so that's adding to my confusion of which log is which.

I'm gonna go for a drive and will post up the log.

Sorry... wasn't trying to be harsh... I was looking at your log like I do my wot runs... Glad you are attempting to log... after you do this for a while, you will start to see patterns and come to conclusions.  Lambda (both banks) FRP, MCT, TIP- (Boost), are what you look at relative to RPM and MPH.  Your tuner like Torrie etc. will look at all the rest of the data they request.

As for the "gear".. that's my wording that confused you... You can tell the gear from looking at the log and seeing when RPM's drop and then go up again.. MPH also gives you an idea on the gear... But you're right... there's no gear option in any of the logging software I've worked with.  My BAD!

I am no pro at logging, but if you logged a full throttle, 1st through mid way through 3rd, it would give you a way better reading than just cruising around town and not have a bunch of useless data.

It would also allow you to see if your running lean; Your not going to run lean putt'ing around town and never seeing above 3K RPM's

Thank for posting the log, i am anxious to see your full throttle logs.
