Mitsubishi Owner, taking a leap of Stinger

[DevLF]

Hi! Going to be buying a Stinger in a couple months when I get my bonus and have been lurking a little bit around here. Currently own a 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution but am ready for new things. Had an n54 335i for a while so I'm super happy that BMS has a lot of support for the Stinger. Plan on JB4 and e85 right off the bat. Any things to look out for when purchasing a used 2018/2019 GT1? Also, is it possible to run full e85? All I've seen is posts about e30. I'm assuming LPFP and Injector upgrades?

I was told (corrected) by tork that e85 does not work with our fuel system.

Welcome to the hive! I made a similar jump, (from a Ralliart) I think you will be very happy with the Stinger

I'm stock, so no help to you at all with mod questions. Welcome. And let us know how it goes acquiring your car.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I had a 335i as well - JB4 tunes as well. That’s one of the reasons I have them here in the forum store. Is your Evo faster than your 335i was?

E85 itself works. The issue is we can't push enough fuel to run full E85 without some aftermarket fueling options which nobody currently makes (stuff like CPI not withstanding).

Here was a reply that I had on that topic.

My Evo is definitely not as fast as my 335i(JB4, catless DPs, upgraded FMIC, BMS intake, chargepipe & WMI) was. I was just so fed up with no grip and no LSD that I went AWD not to mention the wastegates that sound like you're dragging tin cans behind the car when you are driving next to a wall or another car. iirc the Stinger has an LSD so I'd prefer the RWD over the AWD due to powertrain loss. Super excited to be dealing with BMS again though always amazing things from them at crazy competitive price points. Just sucks living in Cali, so I'll probably be purchasing all from your store if you ship to SoCal since they don't.

That's super unfortunate, I absolutely love e85 applications in turbo cars

Welcome! I don’t have a tune yet. I’m more than happy right now with the way mine responds. Coming from a 230hp v6 Mustang, this thing is a beast. Already put a couple Charger Scat Packs in their place

Welcome aboard, the Stinger is an amazing car, and the support from aftermarket outfits like BMS, makes it even better.
