I Switched to E85.. Here’s What Happened

[@shawnl9801]

Wait so this is just an intake and OTS file?? Thats impressive!!

[@89dungey]

You make me want to be a better man, so humble

[@P33CEGAWD]

Agreed. Dudes a real one

[@OvercomeSKILLZ]

Another banger video bro! Damn that S3 looks clean AF!! I noticed after u put E85 in ur tank and u started the car it sounded more aggressive, or maybe im just trippin. I cant wait to see this new build man. Congrats again brotha! Keep bringing these banging ass content, I LOVE IT!!

[@brooksallenyoung]

Youre back! What's been up! Love the s3! I should be modifying my GTI next year. Can't wait!

[@brooksallenyoung]

Sucks I don't have e85, but we will see what happens.😊

[@JewelCity1]

Exciting times🚗

[@brooksallenyoung]

@@JewelCity1 it is exciting! I'm looking at water meth rn

[@imgizmo4706]

Right I’m glad too he inspired me to build my GTI to where it’s at today, is38+, intake, DP, inlet and tune. Just got my intercooler waiting for the HPFP to go e85. I’m happy for you and it will be a lot of fun they are little rockets

[@brooksallenyoung]

@imgizmo4706 I've got a 24, so I'm waiting to pay my car off so I can take it to TVS to unlock the TCU, then EQT gti hybrid, Golf R head and cams, FBO, and 50/50 water meth (no e85 available).

[@nicholasmontano2437]

Yoooo this s3 is Fkin moving after seeing that launch wtf

[@josephparker9726]

Nice video man ! Do you know the 60-130 times on 91 and e85 yet?

[@JewelCity1]

Just intake, e85 OTS file it was in the 9sec range

[@Dannyboyy.]

Nice ride man ❤

[@CuIturaI]

I also have an 8Y S3, I have an APR intake but haven’t done a tune yet, didn’t know you could get away with e85 on stock fuel system and no dp and none of that. Might have to consider doing the same thing and see how the car does. If you’re still in warranty make sure you tell your dealer it’s tuned lol

[@nickswhips]

You should do 60-130!!

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

you should get a fuel it blue tooth ethanol sensor kit gives you peace of mind when switching

[@1FastMKVSupra]

So curious why you went APR of all the tuning companies out there when you were pretty hot on EQT on the MQB platform. I just picked up a 2023 Golf R and thinking about tuning here soon. Before the R, had a FBO IS38+ E30 EQT OTS map on my 2017 GTI and it was insane. Was APR stage 2 (ECU & Trans) initially on my GTI as well and it just seemed like I was leaving some on the table but to be fair, those were the early days (late 2018). EQT, among others, are working on flex tunes for the MQB-EVO platform but no ETA as of yet, believe they depend on COBB for the flex-fuel hardware side of things.

[@JewelCity1]

No support for my ECU yet, sadly

[@1FastMKVSupra]

@@JewelCity1 I gotchu. You think you'll go back to EQT when they got the sauce for you? I honestly thought or maybe assumed that it's the same engine in both the R and S3.

[@renerios1056]

What made you go with APR over Unitronic? Not picking or judging sides just curious

[@skorge987987]

laptop in the seat at the gas station is crazy lmaooooooooo that's too funny

[@JewelCity1]

Fast n furious style boii💀

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Cool man. That's weird you have to have the hood open to accept the flash.

[@JewelCity1]

Yeah it’s part of the instructions. It doesn’t need to be fully popped just unlatched. OBD11 coding is similar

[@misternippster]

its to allow access through diagnostic firewall. started with id/mk8 chassis that have over the air connectivity. just another safe aurd while flashing

[@LastHumansGarage]

i coulda sworn you had a big turb gti..

[@JewelCity1]

Drove it this morning

[@FordPickUPRed]

Currently running stage 2 on my S3 and was destroyed by a Kia Stinger at the track recently. Dam how did it run a 10.8? What do I need to beat this time?

[@chrisbriggs4018]

@Jewel City idkkk about all that "just as fast as a 8y rs3" my 8v.5 was pushing consistent 3.7s bone stock and i know for a fact the 8y will drag me stock to stock. especially mod for mod also how you flash yourself??? apr always made me call for an appointment to flash *why im Unitronic now

[@sleet1k130]

Why APR as your tuner,not EQT OR 034 ?

[@SamuelSamuel-dd6eb]

Hi, what was the result for the quarter? 1/4?

[@JewelCity1]

Will be testing next

[@burb17]

5 miles there is still at least a gallon in there. After swapping back and forth in my S3 I drove mine at 0 for a while. Its pretty conservative on the estimate.

[@whats281]

Yes 100% I think once you hit 0miles there’s a gallon of reserve gas

[@JewelCity1]

That’s true, the ecu can adapt to the difference in fuel concentration so I wasn’t too worried. I refilled on full E85 later on

[@shawnl9801]

He mentions that in the video. 91 still being in the tank

[@burb17]

@@shawnl9801 as long as you’re at least E60 it’s good

[@garrett6389]

How do I get past the flashing screen that says “DANGER TO MANIFOLD”?

[@YKTVAngel]

W Vid

[@avyannguyen647]

stock or upgraded fuel pump?

[@JewelCity1]

All stock hardware but intake

[@1hason455]

hell yeah

[@whats281]

Hey man, currently have a stage 2 e30 manual gti, I want more speed what would recommend for best bang for your buck? … obviously upgraded turbo + e but what turbo?

[@rambow70]

Vortex standard or Garrett P-max if you don’t want to run quite that much power. Is38 on E might give you turbo reliability issues after 40k miles.

[@whats281]

@ interesting why is that, just too much for the turbo to handle? You know if it’s the same for e30

[@rambow70]

@@whats281 yea it’s pretty well known at this point that IS38s can handle 360whp reliability. People pushing 380-400 have a high chance of turbo failure. If you want more than 360 whp then the pmax is probably the next step with the vortex standard being a step up from that. But stage 2 is20 on E30 sounds pretty solid!

[@JewelCity1]

Ultimate Bang for buck, stock is38. If you want a highway runner, definitely consider a hybrid turbo

[@gwagb27]

Intercooler?

[@JewelCity1]

Stock
