Can Cobb Accessport Read Ethanol Content?

By setting up your Accessport to read in Celsius, the IAT gauge now reads ethanol on a 0-100% ethanol scale. You can also monitor ethanol content via an app on your smartphone.

Can you still tune for E85 with Cobb Accessport?

Can you still run E85? The simple answer is yes. We can tune E85 like we did before flex fuel was a thing.

Why did Cobb discontinue the flex fuel kit?

The kits allowed vehicles to seamlessly run regular unleaded gasoline with a blend of ethanol, typically E85, without having to swap to a separate tune. Cobb now claims that this device is not emissions compliant, and it’s going to remove the part’s functionality via software update to its Accessport devices.

Do Cobb Accessports still work?

A: Yes! Your Accessport can still be used to tune your car just like you always have.

Do you need a tune for flex fuel sensor?

You will need a custom tune for the flex-fuel kit. All this does is read how much ethanol is in your system and then adds or reduce the necessary amount of fuel to ensure proper combustion.

How much HP does E85 tune add?

The benefits of E85 really come from the higher octane (up to 110, depending on ethanol content and quality). This allows some of the same benefits you see when using methanol injection, meaning you can run more spark (if needed) or boost. This normally translates to 25-50 or more horsepower on a forced-induction car.

Can I run E85 on 93 tune?

Well-Known Member. If you have E85 nearby, there’s no real reason to have a 93 tune. The beauty about having a flex tune is you can run E10 93, E85, or anywhere in between.

Is flex-fuel more powerful?

Faster Burning
E85 fuel has a faster ignition time and flame propagation when compared to gasoline. This leads to higher cylinder pressure, as well as increased engine torque and power, gaining up to 20%. The increased exhaust gas flow allows turbos to spool quicker.

Does a Cobb tuner void warranty?

While using the Cobb AccessPort shouldn’t void your warranty, the manufacturer could deny certain claims. Plugging in a Cobb Accessport is unlikely to cause any damage, but any major modifications made to the ECU could damage the system.

Will flex-fuel hurt a regular engine?

Is your vehicle compatible with flex fuel? E85 is actually safer for your engine than regular gasoline is. E85 flex fuel not only powers your engine but also cleans your engine, fuel lines, and fuel injectors. That’s because E85 contains a high amount of ethanol, up to 83%.

Does Cobb have stage 2?

Delicious Tuning – Stage 2 Tuning & Cobb AccessPort Package for your vehicle adds increased torque across the board. While the OEM configuration might not be everything you hoped it might be, our Stage 2 Tune smooths out the entire power band.

Is EcuTek better than Cobb?

Many people start out with COBB as it’s very easy to setup and use with just basic bolt-on mods. As you start to push your build, EcuTek tends to be the preferred choice as it gets the latest features first, has more configurability for the custom tuner and better traction control.

Can I run E85 with just a tune?

Do I need to change anything on my car to run E85? Usually you need to use larger fuel injectors than you would normally run and get the car dyno tuned. You may need a bigger fuel pump, but that will depend on the horsepower that the car is making and what fuel pump you already have in the car.

What happens if you run E85 on a 91 tune?

Cost Savings Through Better Chemistry. Simply put, if you mix 5 gallons of 91 octane pump gas with 5 gallons of E85, you get 10 gallons of a 96-octane fuel that’s very close to E50, or 50-percent ethanol and 50-percent gasoline.

Can I run E85 without tune?

You will absolutely need a tune to run E85, there are plenty of options available for top notch tuners for the coyote platform.

Is E85 tune better than 93?

E85 has a typical octane rating of around 100-110. That’s 7-17 more octane points than 93, 9-19 more points than 91. This is one of the big reasons you can make more power with E85. Turbocharged Subaru engines, as well as other brands, are knock limited from the factory on 91/93 octane.

Is E85 better than 93 octane?

E85 has an octane rating higher than that of regular gasoline’s typical rating of 87, or premium gasoline’s 91-93. This allows it to be used in higher-compression engines, which tend to produce more power per unit of displacement than their gasoline counterparts.

What are the disadvantages of using E85?

E85 CON’S

• It’s potentially damaging. E85 is not corrosive in nature, but does attract moisture; and water is bad news for engines.
• It can be costly to retrofit. Vehicles produced before 1987 are not E85 compatible.
• Not quite environmentally friendly.
• Not as efficient.
• Bad in cold weather.

Do engines run hotter on E85?

E85 burns cooler than gasoline. This means less heat build-up in the engine. When enough heat builds up, the engine loses power.

Does E85 run rich or lean?

We test a 105-octane fuel that costs less than 87 pump gas and makes the same power as race gas

Does E85 burn faster than 93?

E85 also burns faster than regular gasoline because it vaporizes faster. So your engine may eat through E85 faster than regular gasoline.
