There was an episode of Engine Masters on Motor Trend on demand about E85. They said one reason it might drop off in power at higher RPM is that their is less room for air at the higher RPMs.
Also, at the end of the episode, they talked about few cons with E85. They said that if your fuel pump relies on the fact that it's immersed in your gas tank to help lubricate it, that E85 has less lubrosity than gas and can cause issues with your fuel pump. Any thoughts about that? |

Just run the advanced fuel dynamics kit... quality kit and proven gains on supercharged/N/A cars

I put this kit on my car with hopes of making a thread about it. Install wasn't that hard but came to find out one of the injector plugs on the main harness wasn't working. I could replicate the fault code about bad injector by changing around the specific wire. I repined it a few times. The pinned injector wired worked when plugged into another female main harness plug. Just gave up and took it off. Car is my daily driver so I needed it back after 2 days down.
Never made the effort to contact the company, got turned off about the whole thing. My pursue this again when I'm bored. |

sorry, with all the drama my friend went through to figure out what was wrong with his car, running these kits for e85 is just not worth it on NA cars...

$1200 for a flex fuel kit that doesn't adjust timings to make even more power than just E85 fuel alone isn't worth it to me. Rather have separate 93 and E85 tunes. |

8500rpm, contact the company and they will send you a new lead free of charge. I had the same problem when I installed mine the first time. Wasn't anything to do with the quality of the kit, it happened because when you pin the injector adapters, the pins only go in one way. I tried to force one in incorrectly and damaged the connection. No matter what I tried it wouldn't work after that. Emailed eflex and had a new lead the next week, which fixed the problem.
All these kits do the same thing....no reason to spend the extra grand. That's a carbon fiber driveshaft right there! There's nothing "BMW specific" with any of these kits, other than the injector adapters, which are also all the same....although afd installs the pins for you whereas eflex does not. For the c63 they started installing the pins for customers because I sent them documentation on the orientation of the pins (polarity), but apparently they don't offer that for the m3 yet. 8500, if you know which way they install, let them know and they'll pin it for you.
