E85

I wanted to find out from some of the experts if options exist to run E85 on the F90 platform? I believe Spool performance has an upgraded fuel pump but wasn’t sure if anyone has tried it.

I know many are running E30. What is holding up this platform from running E85?

I have a W213 E63 and a few guys are testing the Spool fuel pump now so it seems really close on that platform.

I really hope we have the option to run E85 next year. Until then I guess I will run the DME E30 tune.

In the video he mentions about trying not to blow the car up lol. Without supporting mods and upgraded rods, I will stick to DME tune and downpipes for now. Thats already pushing the stock rods

any map on E especially DME's has a lot of torque. the more torque the higher the chance of rod bending

On native turbines with 100Ron + WMI on an 850hp engine. They cannot give more. So there is no point in pure E85. Only E20 / 30 can be cast when there is no good 100 / 102Ron.
