Generally E40 is where you’re going to get the biggest gain. E40 is where you get 90% of the octane benefits. After that it’s mostly heat of vaporization that you’re benefiting from, but even that is non linear based on content. E40 is a great street mix. A huge chunk of the benefits without many of the drawbacks.
Great video and info Adam. Currently FBO and running stage 2 unitronic ecu/tcu and anxiously awaiting to switch to ethanol. Car is running flawless and I was a little nervous about switching over but you made it an easier decision for me. Thank you. 👍🌽
Great video and good info!! It was a long 2 weeks but worth it! Had Stage 1+ E85 on car for a long time and now have the ability to travel further away from my E-85 zone without worries if I can't find ethanol.

Great video as always Adam! Very interesting to see Uni Stage 1 vs Stage 2 and how little a downpipes adds. Also e60 vs e85 was a surprising gain too. With your influence can you get John Staffi to work on the DNWA tunes? We are missing out! 😢
Lmao, if I had that kind of influence this software would have been made available years ago. What I think you're missing is the fact that additional power is available throughout the ENTIRE powerband. Not just peak power being 10whp more. That makes a massive difference.
Amazing informative video Adam. I drive a B9 S5 Sportback. Recently I just moved to BC from Montreal, Quebec for a new job promo and back there I used to run Costco 91 before I tuned my car to a Stage 2 93 file. Since then I only ran 94 from Petro-Canada because it's the only compatible one in QC and eastern Ontario (say Ottawa/Cornwall). Sometimes I used Esso 91 during roadtrips as well, but Costco's 91 was still quite good and saved me some money. For now Chevron 94 is doing its thing and the car runs smoothly. I'm surprised that Petro-CAN doesn't do 94 in BC (currently only in ON/QC/AB) Thank you. Merci.
Great video Adam! Been running UniFLEX stage 1 for almost a month now, wish I had it at Pacific Waterland, but oh well. Quick question for you, how are they getting the E85 display on the dash? I thought that was a DS1 tuning feature.
When flashed with a Unitronic FLEX enabled ECU calibration, when the cruise control is set to the OFF position, the factory power gauge will now show ethanol content percentage. Best of all, cruise control functionality remains unaffected and the power gauge works like stock, showing engine power when the cruise control is turned on and/or engaged.
The Continental ethanol sensor that came with your Fuel-It kit is pretty much the same one that comes with the UniFLEX kit. You'd simply disconnect your Bluetooth adapter for your Fuel-It kit and plug in the UniFLEX hardware.
Stage 1 can vary though, I bet a stock intake, turbo inlet, and intercooler on the same tune would have been a considerable amount less power. Turbo can't even hit target boost on the stock intake pipe.
I'd suggest you try that with your own car then. I would never try that on this channel, seeing as a Stage 2 tune is only meant for cars with an upgraded downpipe and not safe to run with a stock downpipe.
@vancityaudi Great video im about to do a stage one tune on my rs3. With the uniflex do you need to fash the ecu first with the obd cable or can you do it with the uniflex
Uniflex is purely the hardware and the Bluetooth phone app. Until you pay for the additional software, all it will do is display on the phone app and that's all. After tuning it'll display on dash and adjust for E levels.
I have my Uniflex all set up on my '18 RS3. Few things to note, Unitronic always told me that Stage 1+ E85 was basically the same power from E60-E85. Which may be true for the regular tune, but apparently not for Uniflex. I'm currently on the stage 1+ uniflex so I shouldn't go below 93. And the upgraded port injectors are required for stage 2 as well. I'd like to find out how the rolling anti-lag works, cuz so far it seems to act the same as always.
From Unitronic: ADDITIONAL FEATURE ADDED - ROLLING ANTI LAG By popular request, Unitronic is also proud to announce the addition of Rolling Anti Lag (RAL) into these new FLEX enabled calibrations. FUNCTION USAGE: Turn cruise control ON, but not activated. Hold down cruise control stalk downwards (decrease speed, -), then go wide open throttle WOT. You can do this with your left fingers, while both hands are on the steering wheel with ease. PRECONDITIONS FOR FUNCTION TO BE ACTIVE: 70degC coolant temp minimum threshold, more than 1000rpm engine speed, more than 30kph vehicle speed, and more than 45% throttle position. The function will be activated for 6 seconds maximum and can't be re-activated for 15 seconds refresh time. This function is very hard on the engine and its components - IT IS NOT FOOL PROOF. It's easy to melt an engine to the ground with it. Use it wisely and at your own peril.
At what point of whp/wtq do you enter the zone of potentially needing a built motor? Bought an 18 rs3 last year and kinda want to know the limits on the stock motor!
Depending on who you talk to, they'll all tell you different things. Also depending on the dyno you'll see & hear different things. I say nothing more than 520-540wtq. I recommend anyone running a hybrid turbo or larger on ethanol, needs to build their motor except on this turbo which was specifically made to run well on a stock motor.
Thanks for the great content! I am curious, I thought the stock rods couldn’t handle more than 500 WTQ? Or it is not safe after that. Seems like the power is very strong.
You'd be wrong. Before experienced tuners had more and more time developing software for these motors, that was the generalized figure thrown around. There are a TON of Unitronic tuned RS3's and TTRS's out there making over 500wtq and are without issue. On most Dynojet dynos that I've seen, stock turbo DAZA's make up to 540wtq and have zero issues. All dynos read differently as well. If I showed Mustang numbers in this video, the power & torque figures would have been MUCH lower.
@danielmchugh8231 I can see it being SUPER confusing because there is SO much incorrect information spread throughout the community. Seems like most of the time only 20% of the people actually know what they're talking about.
Could someone please enlighten me: I was always under the impression that tq was the real killer on these cars (hence why custom tuners try to cap the tq lower than the Uni S2E85 file). I considered Uni’s Stage 1 E85 to be relatively safe since the advertised tq is 528 lb ft. Uni’s S2E85 is advertised at 564 lb ft which I’ve associated with being a bit more risky. Seeing the S2 uniflex car do a 534 wtq makes me question whether Uni has addressed the high tq complaints (or if wtq is different than their advertised numbers on their site). Long story short: is stage 2 uniflex at E85 safer than running their dedicated E85 tune?
What you're forgetting is every single dyno will read differently depending on a million and one factors. Ambient temperature, density altitude, elevation, heat soak, IAT's, fuel used, type of dyno used, calibration of said dyno and more, lol. Just like I mentioned in the video, they made what appeared to be very high numbers because the conditions we tested in were amazing for making power. I showcase uncorrected numbers on this channel, so they aren't corrected and turned down when it's really cold out, or turned up when it's really hot out.
Interesting to see how close they were. I have a '20 RS3 with downpipe/midpipe.4" turbo inlet + CAI, and unitronic intercooler. Currently on a Uni Stage 1+ ECM and Stage 2 DSG tune. Wanting to go flex fuel and I was going to get a stage 2 tune and the flex fuel kit but now it seems like it isnt worth it and i should just get the flex fuel kit and stay on the Stage 1+
@@VancityAudi right but only a difference of 10 wheel and 20 torque, is it really worth it when it comes to price to pay for flex kit and tune vs just the flex kit. I also have a few more supporting mods than the car that was on stage 1 so I would assume my stage 1 on E might even be a little closer than the stage 1 in the video
@kylewatson9626 what I don't think you're appreciating is the difference of 10whp & 23wtq at peak, but the ENTIRE powerband is higher. To put that in perspective for you, a weight reduced RS3 ran an 10.7 @ 127mph on Stage 1+ E85. A weight reduced Stage 2 E85 RS3 ran a 10.2 @ 134mph. It makes a huge difference overall having more power & torque through the entire powerband and not just at the peak levels.
There has to be more done to the black RS3 in terms of weight etc to be running a 10.03 on stage 2 e85 software. My car sits the same and the best I ever did was a 10.8 with a 1.7 60ft
Does the Haldex controller make that much of a difference? If only trapping at 135 for 10.03 it must 60’ great. I’m only at a 10.6 trapping 133 on cup 2’s. Guessing she’s on dr2’s with the Haldex controller and getting a 1.5 or better 60’ launching at 4000 rpm?
@@Hudson-jq7ks I also trapped 133 on my 10.8, with lightweight wheels, dp, intake, turbo inlet, 529 driveshaft, uni dogbone, intercooler. I just really don’t see how interior removed is gaining .8 in the 1/4
@Hudson-jq7ks it makes an insane difference. She cut 1.45 - 1.47's all day, every day. I also show how it well it works here: ruclips.net/video/iVhgxdGqUOQ/видео.html
@@brandonteege4180 you're probably also forgetting about the ambient conditions we race in here too. We are at sea level here with a low DA. That, and she has me coaching her on how to get the most out of her car.
Most people go with a 500-520ft/lb, but we've consistently seen these stock motors handle more than that on this dyno. Considering every dyno reads differently, it's incredibly hard to say.
Very curious on the conditions the Stage 1 car ran 10.9... I've got similar bolt ons, plus catless downpipes. Not sure the E content i used (added 7L of E85 to a half tank of Pump 94) and best time was 11.26 at 122.73 MPH DA679ft running on PS4S. That was May 2023 and tried all season to best it, without luck, even after getting Hankook RS4 tires. Any thoughts?
There's a million and one conditions that come into play when trying to optimize your RS3 for a 1/4 mile time. Ambient conditions, elevation, temperature, density altitude, how well your car is actually working (did you log your car to make sure it was running at 100%), your tire pressures, if on track the track prep and on and on and on.
@@VancityAudi Thanks. First year drag racing. learning something every time i go. I don't have upgraded injectors. I guess, how much E85 is acceptable to a add to pump gas?
@rsdbikes3067 good thing you let me know you're new to drag racing, I can never tell from comments. First concern is that you're running an upgraded downpipe already. Why have you not upgraded to a Stage 2 tune? Stage 1 tunes are meant for an OEM downpipe. Secondly, I don't recommend going higher than a 20% ethanol blend on a pump gas tune. Thirdly, I don't recommend you blend in additional pump gas without an actual ethanol gauge installed so you can see what content level you're at.
Thanks for reviewing these. Quick note though, have you seen Charlie Brown? Bro your large face and round head are proportions right out of Charlie Brown
It is linked. The rear tires are between 2 rollers and the front tires are on 1 roller alone, so the tire deformation will be slightly different from front to back
Hate to break it to ya, but the tuners aren't the ones that hack or crack the ECU's. When a company/individual figures out how to unlock them, they then sell the ability to do so to all of the tuners.
@@VancityAudi yeah, was a little tongue in cheek, I’m thinking the over under is mid 2025 (about 3 years in) for the tunes to be released. I just got my 2024 and will have to patient for a bit. Great channel- keep up the awesome content.
so from this video.. im thinking uni stage 1+ flex.... rather than the full stage 2 flex to save some money. Then invest the left over into the iroz syvecs haldex controller and light weight wheels and good tires, then go full stage 2 flex with mpi injectors after my pockets recover

Does stage 1 car need upgraded injectors?
I go through what is needed to run these tunes in the video.
When is this available for 8Y?
The ECU on the 8Y hasn't even been unlocked, let alone tunes been made for it.
Black car ran 10.03 on what fuel?
E70
Now they can focus all their effort on the 8Y tune.
The first tuner to hack the box gets 2 years of pent up demand…..
Hate to break it to ya, but the tuners aren't the ones that hack or crack the ECU's. When a company/individual figures out how to unlock them, they then sell the ability to do so to all of the tuners.
@@VancityAudi yeah, was a little tongue in cheek, I’m thinking the over under is mid 2025 (about 3 years in) for the tunes to be released.
I just got my 2024 and will have to patient for a bit.
Great channel- keep up the awesome content.
so from this video.. im thinking uni stage 1+ flex.... rather than the full stage 2 flex to save some money. Then invest the left over into the iroz syvecs haldex controller and light weight wheels and good tires, then go full stage 2 flex with mpi injectors after my pockets recover
This sounds absolutely perfect
@@VancityAudi any difference in dyno with the catless uni mid pipes or purely sound?
@@Stockish_Dazamidpipes are purely a sound mod
@@VancityAudi whats your opinion on the KW has? Car i bought has h&r sports and i hate them
@DarkJuggalo86 I've never used them, but have heard good things. H&R springs suck in my opinion.
Sooo.. moral of the story, if you're not already stage 2 just go full bolt on stage one e85 flex until you decide to go stage 3 LOL
He ran 10.9 on 93 stage 1 only?
That's what he said!
Had to be E85. I haven't seen an RS3 trap higher than 120-122 and usually around 11.2-11.4
@@chrisradivonyk4357in optimal conditions it happens.
@@chrisradivonyk4357he was running the Stage 1+ 93 octane tune. I was there.
@@chrisradivonyk4357 these guys tend to run a splash of ethanol in the tank on the 93 tune. See Adams other videos for the gains e20 makes on a 93 tune.
Not bad. I made 572whp on Co-op E63 at RG on my Stage 1 M2 Comp.
And even though you make more power on a dyno, does it hurt knowing that both of these cars would probably beat you in a race? Lol
