What about launch control? Also how will flex fuel tie into pricing for motiv tunes?They will be for sale before the giveaway ends
N54 Stock DME Flex Fuel
- Thread starter Jake@MHD
- Start date
I thought it would never happen! JK, congrats on the pending launch of your product.
I likely plan on purchasing. My car has stock fueling, would I be able to run e mixes higher than ~30% with this without a stage 2 LPFP?(ie will it limit boost and other parameters) i know I'd be limiting my power but I have some other reasons for doing this. I'll go with a LPFP if I need to.

Isn't that one and the same? I thought it was a Motiv/MHD collaboration basically. My understanding is you'll need a Continental Flex fuel sensor and the Flex fuel module, and then a 93 and an ethanol tune.
I think they are making the "flex fuel module" as a hardware part at least in part to provide some sort of copy protection. Granted, it may be fully within the DME code, but it would seem like it would be easily compromised. Having either a checksum or some sort of hardware "dongle" like software vendors did back in the 80s may be the way its ensured its paid for. We likely won't know the full methodology, as there is also some security by obscurity there.
There is a Flex Fuel Box which is an ECA from what I understand and a Flex Fuel module addon within MHD. The reason this is taking so long is because he has added a one-time unicorn tears optical refraction hash into the encryption algorithm. And naturally, those take some time to collect.
The description on their website explains it pretty well:

I also wanna say if the price is really only $150 that's awesome, hell under $300 I think would still be a steal

shhhh, don't just give out clues like that!
You'll be able to run higher mixes, yes. However, the higher mix you go, you will be quickly reducing the boost you can run. I am not sure how low the boost will need to be and how lean an AFR, that will need to be determined by your tuner.
Thanks for the response, that's the answer I expected. Ultimately, I'm just looking to run OTS maps so I'll likely stick with lower e mixes until I get a stg2 LPFP.
Props on the reasonable price as well, I had a price in mind that I was willing to pay and you came in under that price (assuming the MHD module is priced in line with other MHD modules). I see lots of people on this platform complaining about how cheap people have become, but some of us have a family to support and just work on our 10 year old cars as a hobby. I'll be placing an order as soon as its up.
The ethanol sensor + engine bay line upgrade on the MOTIV website seems a little pricey, no?

Yeah ... default value. I ordered my ECA along with the rest of the fuel line, bucket LPFP upgrade from another place. I'm told it is supposed to work with this. My car starts coming apart next week, with these upgrades included.
