FRS Flex Fuel Kit Finally Installed!

There's no hiding that we're down on power so we need to do everything we can to squeeze as much horsepower and torque out of the naturally aspirated FA20 motor! One of the best ways to do that is by adding a bit of corn juice aka E85! We're installing the Gerald Just Projects Flex Fuel kit to allow us to run either E85 or regular 91/93 octane or a mixture of the two. This way, I don't have to worry about running out of E85 at the track!

I'm glad to see you guys finally did an e85 tutorial and tune.

[@austinmartinez1831]

love your videos man, seeing your reaction makes me want to do this too! keep the videos coming, they’re so informational in helping me mod my frs!

[@KevinVo]

Thanks for the love and support!!

[@mresab1997]

That reaction says it all!

[@ethanha3638]

Such a good video, your reaction makes me want to flex tune mine 😂

[@KevinVo]

Do it!!!! You'll feel the same way! haha

[@treeeyn5721]

Been waiting on this video 👀

[@demonspawnedangel]

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]

Gerald is a fantastic guy! Glad to here you got you taken care of and you're enjoying the kit!

[@Musicizmyremedy]

Did u just use the base E85 map? And how would which voltage to use, thankS!

[@Lil_orbot]

Don’t mean to sound like a noob… but I connected mine to 02 censor and the 20 slot in the a35 pin… to that sound right lol?

[@demonspawnedangel]

@@Lil_orbot the o2 sensor is another way to do it. Ecutek supports both the evap and the o2. oft supports the evap only.

[@scott_6305]

Where is the plug in for the evap I can’t find it

[@TunableMinotuar]

Dude seeing your reaction made me excited to go e85 just waiting to get my pc setup to start downloading the tunes ..

[@KevinVo]

That's what it's all about!

Thanks!!

[@kgthegreatone943]

Nice I wish I had e85 in my area

[@KevinVo]

Thankfully it's plentiful in the midwest!

[@TripSkyWalker]

This is one of those things i dunno why i never did it for my old FA20 But the K needs some corn

[@KevinVo]

Hell yeah!!! Excited to see you back out there in the FRS!

[@BRZTrackDays]

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?

[@KevinVo]

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.

[@BRZTrackDays]

@@KevinVo Thanks for clarifying and yes! I'm definitely getting a GR86 eventually too! But yeah the first gen will never get old. 😆

[@dylangates908]

@@KevinVo how would you go about getting a custom tune for the oft? Do you email them?

[@michaeljohn1160]

Why a custom tune for e85? OFT has an e85 tune on the computer. Am I missing something?

[@penggvang7]

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 👍

[@KevinVo]

Thanks for watching!

[@knappRC]

Jealous! Can't get e85 anywhere where I am except one place that is 45mins away. So not a viable option really. Looks fun!

[@boost331]

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]

Let's see if Shiv do a comeback. Hope he do something for 1st gen too...

[@boost331]

@@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]

@@boost331 idk, maybe more features. OTS tunes for forced induction and maybe another version of OFH

[@boost331]

@@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.

[@KevinVo]

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.

[@michaeljohn1160]

So I have OFT and on stage two. there is a e85 tune already on it. Why go to the tune shop unless you don’t have the OFT?

[@Setherino86]

What size and brand are those cool bronze wheels?!

[@corn_puffs1267]

Is there a video on the Evap install with the oft?

[@123cornflakeman]

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?

[@KevinVo]

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.

[@rookie907]

When you finished installing, can you still run the car without tuning it yet?

[@bushgnome]

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!

[@KevinVo]

I believe you should still be able to run flex fuel on the OFT. Check out Delicious Tunings kit.

[@bushgnome]

@@KevinVo I'll do that, thanks man!

[@austingreer9051]

I just ordered a FFK from Gerald! How long did you have to wait for it it arrive?

[@KevinVo]

Usually only takes a week or two depending on how busy he is.

[@RTGaming28]

If I get this kit can I just tune it with oft or do I need a different tune?

[@Pakeu-_-]

Can you not hook up a gauge up to this kit?

[@FRS_Faithful_Righteous_Servant]

Can I use OFT tablet tune with this upgrade ?

[@joseperez1881]

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?

[@KevinVo]

You can run these cars with e85 without any modifications other than a flex fuel kit and a tune.

[@user-qu2vm1hc5q]

WILL THIS WORK WITH THE OPENFLASH TABLET E85 TUNE???????

[@rookietoprobuildz]

I need to go E85 soon ! Heard the EPA cracking down & making it difficult for this to happen .. (correct me if I'm wrong)

[@terribleone38]

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.

[@neilmonga8667]

Nah this is true. Ecutek has 6-12 months. That's why I'm buying my delicious tuning kit tomorrow

[@KevinVo]

Things are certainly going to be changing down the road.

@@rookietoprobuildz Are you in the Chicago area?

[@BubbyTheChubby]

what wiring type do u have? is it the o2 sensor one or the evap signal? i wanted to know cause im looking to get one!

[@BubbyTheChubby]

im also gonna run an oft tune as well

[@KevinVo]

I run my flex fuel kit through the O2 sensor plug.

[@treeeyn5721]

Can you still instal the flex fuel kit if you’re ruining OFT Tablet and their E85 Tune?

[@demonspawnedangel]

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.

[@KevinVo]

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.

[@86_Noodles]

Did i see it got rid of the torque dip?

[@KevinVo]

The UEL header and a tune got rid of the torque dip.

[@iCirno]

would this affect passing smog if you’re not using the second o2 sensor?

[@KevinVo]

I believe so, but I don't have experience with smog testing so couldn't say for sure.

[@andresbaldenegro1275]

Hello, I was wondering this as well, is there any ways to run this without having a CEL, or is the connection at the o2 sensor just for power ?

[@JokerMo1023]

Will the FRS going on turbo kit?

[@KevinVo]

I can't run forced induction in the time attack class I run in so there probably won't be a turbo kit on the car any time soon.

[@jonathanguignard536]

I have oft and I made only 190 whp on e85, maybe ecutek can squeeze a bit more out of mine? Can anyone help?

[@demonspawnedangel]

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.

[@KevinVo]

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.

[@jonathanguignard536]

@L W damn I didn’t record that

[@sk-philthy]

why is his horsepower so low @170 ? mine without e85 hits 200

[@Lobo_Argent]

To the wheel, or engine?

With the 200 hp and it bein gutted its gunna be a lot faster needa take me back seats out lmao
