Can’t wait till you surpass the 100k mark with subscribers. Def underrated my man
So pretty much what you’re saying to avoid all the issues of re flashing, re fueling, having the car run rough, afraid of going past half throttle etc etc etc.. just get a tune with SRM flex fuel and I don’t have to worry about anything. Gotcha
what’s up bro nice video .. i just bought the stage 1 e85 tube for my crec a6 is it the same situation? i can run the car till zero miles tune the car the the E85 fine then fill up the tank with E85 ?
I’m a 4th year dental student. And I feel you man. Being a patient is no fun. I love what I do, I do feel bad for the thing that patients have to go thru. Been here since the Mk5 days.
LOL. Hope I didn’t offend you 😂😂😂
@@IgnitionTube haha nope
Hi Eli, when you are talking MPGs are you using what's displayed on the dash or are you calculating when you refuel?
I found the MPGs on the dash are very inaccurate. I had it show 19mpg and when I filled up got 14 mpg actual.
Been watching your channel for the last couple years and playing catch up, but had an S4 MT, traded it in (regrettably), then sold the care I traded it in for because of Covid, test drove an S6 and really liked it, but can't get past not having a MT in my car. I feel its a way of life. I wish Audi dropped an MT in S6 because it would be a no brainer per the stock performance and additional luxury. When I test drove the S6 as driving any other car I am occasionally reminded that as I reach for the mysterious stick that doesn't move or the non-existent clutch on the floor boards that this isn't enough for me. Enjoy your vids, but missing seeing the S4 (I think it was involved in an accident). Anyway, I am seeking financing for another S4 MT I found with 50k miles now that I will be getting back to the office here and there and the drive is longer and requires a more comfortable ride than my 09 R56 that is also on its last leg with blue smoke syndrome. Anyway, keep up the entertaining vids.
Hey Eli, Hope all's well with you and the fam. I sold my blue SQ5 and picked up a '17 A8L 4.0T so i'm back tracking your vids a bit.
Just threw a bunch of goodies from SRM on there. DS1, RS7 turbos, inlets, HPFP/lines. My problem is when I fill the tank with corn and floor it (afrer it warms up) I can feel power just clipping.
SRM sells a kit to make it fully E85 compatible (LPFP, module etc) Just wondering your thoughts on that. I'm hunting for 9"s.
Thanks for the content, you're a solid TH-camr
Log the car and send the logs to your tuner!
so much work dont they have a flex fuel kit
Does the fuel system need any upgrades to run e85?
I don't have an S6 but this is still fun to know. In other markets my Saab had a factory Biopower option that consisted of an ECU tune, engine block heater, and a few other tweaks to run ethanol. It's possible for me to do something similar here on the aftermarket quite reliably, so I may do that. Good to know about the various blends though, that's something I'll need to look out for.
Get DS1 it supports a hardware flex fuel sensor for much more safety and no worry
I'm curious about the actual % Ethanol level you're running (I see 70% in that table), because I was told the S6 doesn't have enough injector volume to run straight E85 without running lean. I was told with my new DS1 system that I should mix 92 and E85 to come in around E50-E55. Silly Rabbit Motorsports and Quicker Racing Components are both offering a fuel pump upgrade (new low pressure pump in the tank combined with upgraded high pressure pumps up front) and additional injectors to deliver more Ethanol, but I heard that the limit is still around E65-E70. BTW, my new RS7 turbos are performing almost as well on the base 91 octane tune as my stock turbos did with the APR Stage I tune on 100 octane. Time to turn it up with E50-E55, see what it can do, and then find a reputable DS1 tuner to maximize the gains.
Your tuner is different than mine, results may vary.
This is true. Lol
Shop put mid grade fuel to fill tank.
I filled it back to a full tank from half
But I wanna be sure and add octane booster either the Royal purple or stp
Would you recommend a gallon of e85 instead?
Nice
You're driving the car i wanted but i had to settle for the b9 s5 wich i love, it is tune on stage 1 93 but i want to try the e85 file and see the difference
I have a s6 I'm in Canada Ontario the only fuel I can get here is e89 from vp racing is that ok to run and do you have to mix it thxs
I fn love my dentist. Been seeing him 22 years
If i get the IE stage1 tune will audi work on my car if i needed them to
You should just get a DS1.
Why so?
I have a c7 s7. Is the e85 tune only applicable to c7.5 ?
Could I run e85 on an rs5
Mmmmm think this might be my next car
So a tune but no new hardware? You don't need pumps, injectors or take into account materials compatibility in the fuel system?
Correct!!
Hey bro bad ass ride but I’m looking for those rims but can Sean to locate the can you send me the website where bought them?
Google “BC Forged”
What is the recommended octane level for your s6 by Audi ?
Are you getting longer crank times when running straight e85? After running ie tune in full e85 and a cold start it seems to always crank longer.
That’s normal for E85 in general, but it’s fairly minimal for me because I always park in a garage
Did you upgrade the fuel pumps?
Can you daily the e85 tune or would you need to upgrade fuel system stuff?
you can absolutely daily the e85 tune
It worked got a Sub
Hey Eli, been watching for a while and I’m getting the IE tune for my S6 next week. I have been interested in the E85 tune that it comes with but kept getting conflicting info. Just to totally confirm with you, there is nothing required beyond the tune to run E85 in the car like a flex fuel sensor or anything? Just flash, fill, and go?
Yessir!
@@IgnitionTube awesome! Thank you. Actually just ordered the tune about an hour ago. Excited to see the difference
@@jamesconaway6869 so how did it turn out?
I HATE THE DENTIST. I always feel better after I go though.
Stuck between s7 or rs7
RS7 is better in most ways except for price point haha
Bro I got an s7 same engine,
Got the i.e. tune pushing about 650 hp with catless downpipes it smokes the rs7 for 1500$ on a tune and sounds the same with the pops and bangs feature from I.e which is included with the tune. Only thing if u get the tune don’t include the ghost cam it damages ur car depending on mileage and history
Ethanol in CA is 85% and 100-105 Octane and is only $3.79 a gallon
Cars coming along great. Love the look and sound. Ready to watch that track vid too. Great stuff.
What does your waste gate duty cycle % look like during a pull with E85?
love the vid bro. just picked up an A6, can't wait to make it my own
I want to go E85 on 14 Audi but so nervous too
I'm sold on the IE tune for my C7.5 - should I wait until I've removed the oil screen or just go ahead and throw caution to the wind?
Yes, I would wait until you’ve removed your oil screens to tune!
We developed the stage 1 tune on a car with the oil screen still in, of course if you have it apart get rid of that POS Audi created.
I would get a ds1 as it is far superior to this tune. Don’t even need to make a video on how to drain gas cause you don’t have too.
@@ForceFed4g63 what makes you say that DS1 is better?
What’s the price deference for the E85?
It’s a lot cheaper normally
It’s cheaper usually, but you won’t get the same fuel mileage as gas
@@cookiehead2 who cares about that lol
@@ErnstDetailing I do, I don’t make a habit of wasting money.
@@cookiehead2 if it’s cheaper, then depending how much worse it is on fuel, you shouldn’t be wasting money?
I got 2 years left in college. I was thinking about getting an s6 after but I think imma go the 340i route
The ie tune says to connect to a battery charger while tuning, does switching to e85 tune take less time so battery charger not needed or should you be using like a portable charger
Takes less than 2 minutes so (gauge your battery health of course) I don’t use a charger when switching octanes.
@@IgnitionTube your the best, thanks!!
