EC E30 Tune ?
Hi everyone, I just purchased a E30 tune from Jerry and wanted to get your opinions from those who have the tune how well did your car take the tune. Did you have to data log it and dial it in. What gauge do you guys use to keep an eye on the %'s. As we speak I have a Stage 2 tune, catless dp's and soon getting my black boost intake. My car is a 2013 E63. Anything I need to do to play it safe or safe as possible.

I’d be interested in knowing about the tune. I was considering E30-40 tune from him as well.

The car responded to it very well. From stock to pump gas tune was a big improvement. After switching to E, I noticed another significant improvement. I can only comment on the difference subjectively but having done it so recently the feeling of that first pull is still fresh in mind. I can send acceleration videos I if you want. I recorded stock, pump tune, E50, might be helpful.
Datalogging would get you the most out of it if that's what you're really after otherwise you don't have to. To play it safe:
1. Make sure to calculate your E% always. Content analyzer will confirm your calculations. Use the ethanol mixer app.
2. Don't exceed E60
3. If you change E% then take it easy for 10ish miles to let the fuel mix and allow the car to adapt
I have a BB intake on the way also. Was hoping to have them on before the tune but I was slow on the trigger

I just got their flex fuel tune loaded on the car 2 days ago so I'll share what I can. I'm assuming you'll probably be getting the same. You can run different amounts of ethanol (under E60) and the car will adapt to it. For this reason, I haven't gotten an ethanol content analyzer yet. Spool performance sells one which is plug and play for our cars, I'll be getting that. Will be better than relying only on calculations for E%.

thank you for your input, if you have the videos for sure send them my way. I think I'm more so afraid if I get the mixture wrong ill blow it up. I didnt know it had such a big varience up to 60% and as long as you take it easy for a few minutes and let it adapt ill be fine. I was gonna buy a E gauge from innovative i think is the companies name. Im gonna look up spool performance as well. My first few months of having tunes for 91 octane was terrible i had soo many miss fires and so many revisions of tunes it put me off on ever getting a tune. I got my fedex tracking from Jose for the black boost intake he's been great keeping me posted. My goal is to get about 620ish whp. I think once im there and if i can run a 126 e.t in the 1/4 ill be happy with that.

Slope on this same stretch is 1%, so it's valid I was having a satellite issue with dragy. Also this was on all seasons and I kept spinning to second gear lol .. I'm prolly good for a 2.8 with 1 ft and 7.5 second 60-130

I talked to someone at EC i guess they have a e30,e47 and e60 tune. He told me its easier to mix with e47 and get it close to the ratio. I just emailed jerry and see if i can get a e47 tune and see what he says.On my BB intake its scheduled for delivery on the 22nd of this month so ill take some pics before and after install of engine bay and post my impressions of it here with some vids if its any louder.

That's the intention of the e47 tune (e85 + e10)/2, where e10 is normal pump gas.
However, a 50:50 mix only gets you there if pump "e85" actually has 85% ethanol content. The speedway by me has e75, and many have reported wide variations. It's best to check content each fill-up.
The different EC tunes mentioned (e30, e47, e60) in this thread as able to be obtained imply that any particular tune will not actually adapt to the different ethanol content. Otherwise, why wouldn't all the variations just be on one tune? Check your content and ensure it always matches with the expected content of the tune.

I was told mine can run smoothly and go WOT on anything from 91 octane up to E60. Anything above E60 and I will need new fuel pumps.
