Tuned and converter to flex fuel, Sierra Denali 6.2

[bboyce536]

E85 is only about 40 cents cheaper where I am then premium, but with those gains, it would be worth it.

 

Was thinking about buying a 16 camaro SS, this has me thinking about the similar gains on the LT1.

 

What was your mileage on e85?

[Carl T]

Adding this to my short list

 

Keep me in mind when the time comes, I would be happy to help out.

 

Well, now I need to figure out who can do this near me.

 

No need, just hit me up, I can send the product required and you can install or have a local shop do it. As for the tuning, you can ship the ECU or get a group together and I can come to you ;)

[SILVER SLED]

I have a 5.3 non E85 motor and I would be intersted in the conversion. I live near bboyce.

So, before the Tune, it's $200 for the parts?

 

-Sensor

-Fuel Lines

-Custom Harness

What would be the turnaround if I ship the ecu? If the weather is nice I can pull the camaro out of storage while my ecu is out.

 

Also, do you raise rev limit and adjust shift firmness and everything? I keep waiting for diablosport to offer tcm support but keep being let down.

So to reiterate, there are a couple different ways to convert. The way Rawflz quoted was to use factory lines and sensor, this gets a little complicated due to imultiple lines for different wheelbase and engine options.

 

What I am offering for $300 is a kit that allows installation of the fuel comp sensor in the fuel feed line. It includes a sensor, harness, instructions, fuel line clip spacers and everything you need to install. The tools required for installation are a deep 15mm socket, 3/8" wratchet w/3-6" extension, pocket screwdriver and tubing cutter (available for purchase on the site for $25) The kit can easily be installed in 1 hours time on a lift maybe a little more in the driveway.

Option 1: Ship ecu to me turnaround time is 1 day from when I receive to when it ships back out. A6/A8 transmissions have the TCM in the valve body so I cannot work with the transmission as part of the mail order tune.

Option 2: If you have access to hptuners we will send you info to walk you through what is required to read the tune file and e-mail it. At that point I can do full ECM/TCM tuning and send a modified tune file back that you load into the truck.

Option 3: Get together a group of 6+ people with access to a lift, contact me and I will fly out with a bunch of kits and get you taken care of over a two day period.

 

Option 1/2 = $325

Option 3, you would need to contact me to work out logistics.

My Brother-in-law Joe, had Carl do a power tune his 6.2 2015 Camaro, he was very happy with all the stuff he did to that! and that was without the E85 tuned into it.

I haven't been out on the road enough to know my mpg on my Denali, but the increase in power is Amazing...

[Sooperdave]

Yet again very impressive results! I always assumed the injectors and pump and bunch of other crap was different for the E85 capability. Great R&D and tuning. Definitely some bang for buck! It's got to be a night and day difference..

[SkiDooNick700]

ok who in SE Michigan wants to do this lol. Thanks for the response Carl!

SE MI here too. Silversled is in the area as well.

So does this mean I would have to switch between a Premium octane tune and an E85 tune? What if I'm traveling and E85 is unavailable and I put 93 in?

 

What if I only occasionally wanted to run E85?

Fuel composition sensor reads the ethanol content and adjusts fueling/timing/etc accordingly. No need to do anything but but drive afer the tune and sensor kit are installed.

 

The only need to retune is if you are running regular fuel (which I would advise against).

Here is a picture of the GM fuel sensor Carl and his crew added to my fuel line so I can run E85. Nice clean factory looking install.

I'm averaging 9 mpg in town and 15 on a freeway trip on my past tankful. My town

is with me warming up my truck for a few minutes before my short 2 mile ride to work. My last E85 fill was only $1.41, a dollar a gallon cheaper than premium!

Oh, did I tell you, ITs Freaking Fast! Another reason my mpg' she are lower as well. I can't keep my foot out of it.

What was your mpg numbers before on regular gasoline during similar driving?

 

I'm very interested in this. Any numbers from the track stock, tuned or now with E-85 conversion? Thanks for info and share
