In talking to Speeddriven, with their standalone ecu it is possible. Otherwise, no one has dug nto the coding of these ecus to write add-ons like they have on Evos and STIs.

Correct. On the stock ECU we've done some E85 conversions, but not flex fuel. The standalone has built-in flex fuel capability.

On the Porsche/Audi/Lambo/GTR side? Quite a few- easily over a dozen on the Syvecs if you just count the ones I did with Boyan over at Switzer Performance in '12-'14. If you count the ETS, T1, and AMS cars (all on the same standalone hardware) there's probably 100.

On the Benz side? Just the one so far, and it's not running yet. Very little interest, from what I can tell. We've gotten maybe 2 phone calls about E85 conversions since the black CL ran last year- but maybe we're just not talking it up enough. We'll see.

Stand alone for 8 grand is a joke. It's not like it's going to make the car any faster.
This platform is limited. Thats why no one wastes time with it. No one wanting to go fast anyways.

I agree it's overpriced and Im not even sure if any E55 is running it yet even though speed driven said the product would be ready a long time ago (deja vu). It would remove the 17psi limit. That in itself will make the cars faster. Not to mention the ability to tweak other things on the fly

I disagree with you. The only reason the platform has been limited is because of the limited capabilities of tuning options available up until now.

The bottom feeders that are trying to reinvent the wheel on an engine that hasn't been manufactured for 10 years is quite hilarious. That's the reason why you don't see Ahmad on this forum too much anymore. He has other toys that you all wish you had!! Lol Hey Ahmad!

For 8 grand you can buy a stand-alone and maybe gain a couple mph from e85
OR
You can spend $800 on a nitrous kit and go faster.

Motec M1 supports code writing to interface with any factory CAN systems to your hearts desire. Haltech Elite series supports similar code writing, but Haltech hasn't shared much of this information publicly. The Motec M1 is better for custom code writing as you can write absolutely any function.
NEITHER systems cost 8k and CAN interface with factory CAN protocols if you are inclined to write code yourself. BOTH are real race computers used in racing worldwide by race teams that win...still they do NOT cost 8k. Both are the highest model ECU's offered by their manufacturer, and offer excellent support.
For Flex-Fuel you'll need a standalone that supports Flex-Fuel. This type of functionality cannot be easily be written into factory ECU's that don't already support it.

Lots of misinformed statements are around the boards here. 2 years ago when i introduced the idea of a standalone system, people thought I was crazy, after deep thought and decision into pursuing a complete standalone vs overriding factory controls, im getting the bus information defined and am almost ready to start ordering hardware to replace the oem ecu
