There was no ready tune for this car so we wrote stock file back just to show that it can be written thru "bench" connection

It means its open for any tuning platform, ecutek, mhd, bm3, mgflasher, etc.

GTP Motorsports were nice enough to answer my q's on ig. They're aiming for 750 crank hp w just downpipes and an E85 tune. And they say the car can handle full E85 which is a great sign.

We are gonna see some stunning numbers if the motor can take advantage of full E85

I always appreciate anyone, anytime people are modding these cars, when they're are so new.

Thats awesome. I'd asked if this car was going to always need pi. But apparently thats not going to be the case. And we already know the stock motor an handle 750.

Typically "flex fuel" options are not truly flex fuel. There is a range of ethanol content deemed to be safe on a particular tune (i.e. e60-e85). It IS possible, but most tuners, at least outside of the bimmer world, stick with a range.

It is great to hear the stock fueling system can handle full e85. My plan (I have a 22 X3M Comp lci) is to keep it right around e70 for some buffer and run catless downpipes, intake, ethanol sensor and colder ngk plugs. I'd imagine this setup would net low 10s in yhe G80 and high 9s with good DA where traction is not an issue.

To me when I say my car is flex fuel, It means I can put in 93 octane or E-85 and not have to switch maps. It can run anything at anytime. That's what I would want for any car running Ethanol. Of course I have different maps for E-85 in my GTR. Don't need to be on kill map all the time. I only run 93 in my F-82

My son has this on his STI. He can run anything from 91 to full E85. No app to calculate or "ranges" to stay in. This is what we need for this car.

So can someone explain what cloning means? Is it taking the contents of the ECU and writing them into an ECU with less restrictive counter measures? Leaving you with your original ECU and another earlier build ECU? I'm a bit confused.

I am also curious about the cloning process.
