I installed this kit about a month ago. I went the evap 0.5-4.5v route as i am using oft. I had an issue with the kit, and Gerald was very helpful, responded to my questions right away, and shipped out a replacement part free of charge. Highly recommend.
@@KevinVo hey you ever thought about getting a higher FD? Im sure your probably comfortable with the current setup but I'd love to see how to install a 4.56final drive or even a 4.67, 4.88, etc.
I need some E85 for my second gen. Im betting OFT will be the 1st to offer it. That is my preferred way to go about it too honestly. No extra fuel connections or sensors. Here in the midwest E85 is at every gas station so I have no use for the flex fuel ability.
@@Carlos.Rivera What do you mean do something for 1st gen? There are a bunch of tunes including E85 for the 1st gen cars. I know there will be 2nd gen support too. Shiv already has a dedicated 2nd gen shop car.
@@Carlos.Rivera With current EPA crackdowns I can assure you there wont be another header. OTS tuning forced induction is too difficult. There are dozens of supercharger types and even more turbo kits with various size turbo housings. There is no 1 size fits all tune for that like there is for NA cars. Forced induction needs at least E tuning but a proper dyno measuring real time AFRs is best. There are just too many variables.
Both OFT and Ecutek are great. I went the flex fuel route because a lot of the tracks I go to don't have access to E85 so if I run out I still want to be able to run with regular pump gas.
Very simple install. Thank you for sharing! I am glad you're still enjoying the car and not jumping on the GR86 bandwagon yet! Would I be able to use this kit and run it with an OFT tune? Or do I need to have a custom tune?
Well, I didn't just pick up a GR86.... but I still love my FRS! You'd still need to get a custom tune for the OFT, but you can use the OFT with this kit.
Would love flex fuel kit so I can drive the car more on road trips ,currently on OFT e85 and do not want to go back on pump gas,would be nice to have a dyno number for my 86 ,your track Frs is coming along 👍
Hey man, love all your 86 content. QUESTION. At the moment i am on OFT stage2+e85. I want to go flex fuel since there are only like 2 pumps in all of washington state. Is there a way to still use the oft or is it basically obsolete after going flex fuel? Im just trying to understand how tuning works after installing the flexfuel sensor. Havent been able to find a straight answer on the subject. Thanks!
Yes, you need the evap wire harness instead of the o2 harness, and you need to know if your tune is for 0-5v or .05v-4.5v. I run oft and this Gerald Just Projects kit on my Ace 350 header with the oft base tune from Wayne Roms.
I believe this kit is compatible with the OFT as long as you get a custom flex fuel tune. I think you'll also want to select the evap option when purchasing.
I'm currently running e85 on the OFT tune on a 2020 BRZ. it says on the website it's for 2013-2016 model years but I'm assuming it doesn't matter. what's the difference between evap and the 02 sensor option?
I don't believe there is a difference with the 2020 but I would verify with Gerald Just to confirm. They're just different ways that the sensor sends the signal to the car so it depends on what you're using to tune the car. OFT would utilize the evap.
I can tell you for sure that Cobb discontinued the flex fuel kit for the 2015+ WRX. They also made it so tuners can’t tune with flex fuel on the accesstuner software or tune for EGR and TGV deletes.
I just picked up a 86 a couple months ago. My questions are, will the e85 deteriorate the fuel lines? Do you need higher flow pump and injectors? Will it pass smog?
Catted header or catless header? And a custom tune will pretty much always out perform a base tune (which is what oft base tunes are). You can get a custom tune on oft, but there is a lot less support for it.
Find a local tuner to you. It might not be worth it to you though depending on how much you value a few hp. Also keep in mind that dyno numbers vary from car to car and day to day.
