A first-of-its-kind, plug-and-play factory ECU implementation of Flex Fuel for the Can-Am Maverick R.
Gain 90+ wheel horsepower over the stock tune with the OEM turbocharger on E85. Ethanol-blended fuels allow for much more boost and optimized ignition because of increased knock resistance and the ability of alcohol fuels to remove heat from the charge air. This results in a higher-performing and safer tune.
Before EVP Flex Fuel, customers faced two major issues:
- Buying E85 by the barrel from fuel suppliers (expensive and difficult to transport)
- Searching for gas stations with true E85 fuel (stations often sell "E85" with ethanol content as low as 45-50%, not the 85% required)
When fuel ethanol content varies, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) cannot compensate for the correct air/fuel mixture, boost level, or ignition advance, causing running issues and potential engine damage. EVP Flex Fuel solves this by allowing the ECU to compensate for varying ethanol contentfrom pure 91 octane all the way to E98 (98% Ethanol).
EVP combines an advanced ECU strategy with a GM flex fuel sensor and EVP control module that reads the ethanol content of the fuel and automatically adjusts tuning in real time. The vehicle not only starts and runs properly but also makes maximum power for the given ethanol content. If you pour 91 octane into a tank that is half full of E85, the tune automatically adjusts for the new ethanol percentage. You can fill up at any gas station with E85 or 91 octane pump gas, and the tune will automatically adjust all parameters for safe and proper operation.
- If the ECU loses connection to the EVP Ethanol Control Module, ignition and boost tables reduce to Stage 3-91 tuning levels while the ECU continues to read the last known ethanol content, allowing the engine to start and run safely
- Built-in safety strategy protects the engine if the ethanol sensor picks up erroneous signals or if ethanol content changes too quickly
- OEM "Turbo Boost %" gauge converted to read fuel ethanol content directly; flashes between 0 and 100 if there is an issue
- Works with EVP Auxiliary Fuel Tanks for extended range on long rides
- Most 91 octane fuel in the US has 10-15% ethanol blended in, allowing about 15 more wheel horsepower than straight 91 octane with no ethanol
- EVP Flex Fuel tune takes advantage of this by adding incrementally more boost and ignition
- First stock ECU implementation of Flex Fuel for the UTV industry
- Eliminates the hassle of running E85 or ethanol-based fuels
- Makes maximum power possible for any given ethanol content percentage
- Runs pure non-oxygenated 91 octane gasoline and every mixture in between all the way to E98
- OEM info display turbo boost gauge changed to read ethanol content percentage with visual indication of issues via flashing
- Compatible with EVP Auxiliary Fuel Tanks
- Kit Includes: Maverick R Stock Turbo Rising Rate CodeShooter Power Flash with Flex Fuel and Flex Fuel Assembly

- All dyno runs performed in EVP's Wisconsin R&D center. Performance and boost numbers may vary based on atmospheric conditions and altitude.
- An EVP Silicone Charge Tube is required for all Maverick R Rising Rate ECU Power Flashes. Use the auxiliary port that sees boost pressure only; do not use the BOV vacuum/boost port.
- EVP Maverick R X85 tunes are compatible with a wide variety of ethanol blends (E70 to E90) due to integrated wide-band lambda in the OEM sensor package.
