    Switching between E85 and pump on chrome?

    Apologies if this has been asked before. Running a chromed ECU with the SL ROM, currently having it tuned for 98RON (Australia)
    My question is this.
    I have an AEM progressive meth injection kit which I am in the middle of installing. I like this because it runs off the MAF signal, not a primitive on/off

    I haven't seen (please show me the way if I've missed it) if there is say, switchable maps, between, let's say a pump fuel map, and an E85 Map.
    Is this possible with Chrome?
    If not, will it be?
    Is it possible, but you need to flash on different maps? (bit of a pain to have a laptop and flashing cable with you everywhere, but do-able I guess.

    I'm now second guessing myself a bit. I spent a shitload of money on the Meth kit, not wanting E85, but I've just seen the gains on an NA 3.8L here in Australia (15% power increase just from E85!) and it really got me thinking. I just don't want it to be a fiddly way of switching maps.

    Anyway, I guess that's the jist of it...

    Gotta use the laptop for now to reflash. Greg is supposed to have switchable maps all tested out waiting for release with the next Chrome update but he's working on some other stuff before he's sending out the update.

    Greg plans to use the active exhaust switch (AE) to implement this. I believe it will use separate sections in memory to load tables for fuel, boost, timing, etc and you will just switch between them with the AE switch.

    there are already high and low octane maps for timing and fuel, it would be amazing if the ecu averaged between them via a e85 sensor rather than knock level.

    Most maps have a high/low octane but not all. Like the start up tables for example. Those I had to rewrite from scratch.

    I can do amazing things with the code.

    sure, I sent pics of the active exhaust switch around NG time. Whenever you are ready. There's almost 1000 miles on this thing already, I've been driving almost every day. We gotta see if my ecus are wired and working with the AE switch.

    Mine runs great... And I have your 1050cc injectors just waiting to drop in when the E85 code is ready to test. Have the flex fuel sensor, and the Zeitronix ethanol content analyzer to go with it ready to pump 0-5v into the ECU. Don't have an AA or AE switch, but easy enough to wire something in for testing.

    Ditto - Guess I'll need a new fuel pump (hear Supra pumps don't like E85) and filter. What in-tank pump setup are folks running that can supply 1000cc injectors at boost?
