Yup, still breathing alcohol fumes. Tried the United 100 quite a few times, and it runs on a perf ULP98 tune without any problems. and improved driveability Also added 20% bio-flex to it and ran on a 30%E tune, again with no issues.  If it becomes more widespread I'd tune for it definitely. tho no way am I going to drop my 30%E tune lol. 
 
Yeah that's the issue I'm having as well since the United servos that pump 100 are few and far between. What I've noticed, though, still using the Gen2 JDM stock ECU, smoothness and response is definitely improved over ULP98. Just gotta sort out my DP/wastegate and BOV issues.

I think United100 would be excellent for stock JDM ecu MR2's. They typically run rich, so running a bit leaner due to ethanol content is no prob & were designed to run on Jap fuel (which is better than 98RON anyway).

has anyone actually used this in their tanks for a while at all? and/or are the any results from the mr2 community?

I ran the new United E85 in my basically standard 1995 SW20 3SGE the other day, and the car would not stop bunny hopping under load at low to mid rpm, down on torque and power massively, struggles to rev. I've just put 10L of BP Ultimate in to try and dilute the ethanol and that has helped a lot, my car isn't bunny hopping as much and power is much better.

So I personally wouldn't recommend it unless your car is tuned for it.

Haha, of course you can't run it in a car not designed for it silly :) You would have been underfueled by about 30%

you can only run a % of the e85 with PULP, not all E85 unless you have an ecu tuned for it.
 
wonder what the United 100 is like? supposedly 98+E.
 
but is their 98 as good as BP 98 anyway?
 
it's the closest we can get to bp+e85 here in WA unless you want to buy E85 in 20L drums for $100+

Lol, haha, yeah I am an idiot

I've used United 100 for a long time with no problems, and I'm sure I get slightly better performance from it but I do get better fuel economy off BP Ultimate.

I've heard Shell mention ethanol in their tv adds. Maybe that means they have a flex type equivalent over the horizon.

That kind of 'phrasing' is a bit misleading. You should say "you can only run a certain % of ETHANOL".
E85 means there is 85% ethanol mixed with PULP.
Servos that sell this kind of fuel, don't necessarily put 85% ethanol in the fuel. It is common to see something like 70% ethanol instead, to avoid cold-start problems associated with E85.
I'm sure you already know all this just_ace, I'm just clarifying for other people.
 
Flex-Fuel vehicles are those than can handle any ethanol content in the range from 0%-85%.

I hope so. The more servos with flex fuel the better!
