I'll keep this short and to the point, no-one likes a lifelong story :P

My exact car/engine combo right now is a 1993 Mitsubishi Magna, running a 6G74 DOHC, NA with a swapped in 1991 Mitsubishi Diamante entire body loom, with an adapter harness going to a 99 TT Chromed ECU.
I want to get the BEST from this car as I can, and I am thinking E85 is the way to go.

What I want to know is, HOW does one run an E85 car with a Chromed ECU?

What sensors do I need to add, if any?

What parameters in the ECU do I need to change, if any?

Do I need to alter any pin outs for this?

Can I run switchable maps for high octane Fuel and E85, or will the ECU know this automatically and adjust? (without a manual switch to alter between the maps)

I think that's all for now. Besides the obvious injectors and whatknot, it's the ECU side I need to fully understand before doing something like this.

Thanks everyone :)

I'm not running E85 so I can't speak rm experience.

But here is a link detailing how to handle fuel and how to alter your numbers in Chrome for E85.

I'd highly suggest getting the car to run on pump gas before switching to E85.

Don't worry about switchable maps or extra sensors right now. I'm having issues with Chrome 2.1. Its gonna be a while before that is released.

Well, that'll be the plan. I have been reading up on the Chrome website regarding fuel and ignition and well, most of it.

So for now it seems It's either Pure 98 + meth, or Pure E85, with (just yet hopefully) no direct interchangeability between filling up with different fuels and having the ECU work the rest out.

Either way, looks easy as pie to set the ECU up for E85 with the stock 360cc's

Using the stock 360s will be a breeze, no latency changes needed. What blend are you looking at United or Caltex?

Lucky you, can't get the united united e85 only the caltex ~e75. What size are the stock NA injectors? The 360s will effectively become ~250s on e85 so if stock is smaller than that your laughing. Plus you save a little bit of duty cycle with the leaner afs.

They are either 240cc or 270cc, I'll need to double check tonight!
I am quite lucky as I have two pumps within 15 minutes of me....why not I say
