Looking for better starting on ethanol. It just happens to make more noises now as a side-effect, lol.
I’d be interested in what you figure out. Since changing over to OS it takes 2-3 tries for my car to start…

What blend or Mods does this start becoming an issue? E60 currently and the car starts first thing like normal, but I'm still stock LPFP and left the OEM Checkvalve in when replacing my lines.

My start up has always been dog shit on Ethanol. When I do 93 sometimes, It feels like my car isn't even running.

Working on lining up the power reporting (HP/TQ) in SimosTools. The ECU has a built in accelerometer and ST uses that and inputs you provide (weight, drag, frontal area, tire diameter, gearing) to calculate HP and TQ. So you might say, "Why not just use VDyno?" Well, VDyno uses rpm and if you've ever tried to use it even with a very minimal amount of wheelspin it gives useless power numbers. Minor wheelspin does not affect ST (obviously major wheelspin will as that impacts acceleration much more), so unless you completely obliterate the tires it will give a good idea of power output. This will be great for those who don't want to get a Dragy but want to know if their changes have netted more power.

Grabbed some data this morning. Still underreports on the low end but I think the top end is good.

This is 3rd gear which I spun. Power reporting looks about right even though I only got like 300-400rpm of usable data but VDyno goes tits up.
