adding Flex to Glens G8 part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- watch a deaf man and a complete idiot install a flex sensor with spare parts on a 2008 G8GT, tuning after he gets his flex % up!
here is a link to the shrink and solder connectors i bought to try, seem to be working good, takes some heat and you have to make sure solder flows
www.amazon.com...
the fact that a deaf person can speak so well is amazing to me. Seriously
removing gas cap will relieve pressure from vapors in tank but will do nothing for the pressurized fuel held in the line by the check valve located on the outlet of the fuel pump.
The only two ways to relieve pressure on this vehicle would have been removing the fuel pump relay and attempting to run until it died or use shrader valve on fuel rail, normally used for checking pressure.
Yep, pull the relay/fuse, run for a bit and good to go.
At first I was in total amazement over that hood light. Until the wore connectors. Now I feel like I've had a life changing moment. I gotta have them!!!!
I miss Glen in the videos
Haha dude the gas spray was like one of those videos with a skeleton pop up or some scary thing 😂
2Step _Anti_lag jump scare click bait
I laughed so hard when you got sprayed " he's a maniac maniac that's for sure " I've been sprayed bad by new gen gmc 1/2 ton radiator cap on the tank. Same song played in my head
I'm glad you don't smoke, Matt.
me too! even without the gasoline
Does this detect the amount of e85 in the tank ?
in so many words, yes. it measures ethanol content in the fuel feed line, based off of continuity and then the ecu automatically modifies the tuneup
The stock ecu ?
Or you modified something ?
My first question at the start, i wonder if he bled the fuel pressure out. Nope, he got a gas facial, rofl.
Look ItsRain I was like eh it won’t be that bad, lol
I was sitting here thinking the same thing, isn't there going to be a bunch of pressure on that fuel line? Oh maybe he bled it off before turning on the camera. Nope. lol.
Exactly what i was thinking. But i guess i did it for a living. You only do that once...haha
same color as my G8. MUCH quieter though, lol. mine as cam/boltons. love my G8 as a daily.
not much room in there for a single turbo, not to mention for a twin turbs
Awesome work helping people out matt! Very cool video!
LOL I normally pull the fuel pump relay and start it to bleed some pressure off.
In Australia these are factory e85 flex compatible. They even put a badge on the car stating it goo.gl/hyYbBR
Looks good, but use the schrader valve at the fuel line to relieve pressure with a screwdriver and a rag.
or pull the fuel pump relay and start the car and let it run until it dies
Shaun Brown it’s always easier in hindsight lol
I was watching thinking surely he let the pressure go even when it looked tight. Nope! Lol. Thought maybe those rails don't have one or it's hard to get to lol. It's 8" away. Probably would have drained it myself lol.
It is my understanding, on unscrewing the gas cap, that you have to allow time for the fuel system, to discharge.
Although, if one is impatient, and would like to get the task, done quicker. Then one just skips removing the gas cap, and disconnects the fuel line.
So the can do the oh crap dance! 😎😋😁
Can't wait to see how this goes, have an older flex sensor (can type, 03 tahoe) that I'm wanting to put in my ls chevelle. Matt I hope that isn't the harbor freight split loom. I bought a bag of it a while back and will never again. It works ok until a couple heat cycles then gets seriously brittle and falls apart.
someone sent me a ton of loom and stuff, that is what its from
You are on the cusp of going big on RUclips.
Where'd you get that flexible fuel line coupling? That made installing that thing MINT!
its a stock truck swivel fitting for a flex sensor from the truck i removed it off of
Part number? These fuel lines and couplings seem like they're the most expensive part of adding the fuel sensor.
If the engine is hot I have seen an eruption even several seconds after relieving pressure. Fuelrail can let out a second gush.
What happens when you run pure e85 with stock fuel pump and injectors? Is it safe to run only half a tank mix at about e50 without these upgrades too?
there seems to be plenty of room, at 350tire now with the ls3 cam, stock pump and injectors he is only in the 88% range on 78alcohol
Holy shit i've never seen a fuel line spray that hard when disconnecting.
suzuki400boi right! I’m like it’ll spray a tiny and I’ll be fine. *old faithful
For a second i was like, god damn is it going to stop haha.
the 2nd wave i was like really...
Me either! I've disconnected a shit load on all different types of cars. Weird
On the electric plug (Amazon)?
400 out of the last 80 comments on my channel were go follow sloppy mechanics because I'm doing budget ls build
lolol
Sloppy Mechanics what wires did you tap in the ignition coil ? For the ground and power?
This is awesome... I have a spare flex sensor and pigtail laying around as well and I daily a 2010 Camaro SS. Anyone know if it's the same pinout? I know next to nothing about wiring
Tyler Poland I think that is the same ecu
Yep, same pin out.
I'm curious, I thought you had to get special injectors for E85?
Also, like many others, can you provide a link to those connectors?
Please.
ramairgto72 when I get home I’ll work up a good description
Thank you, i'm all "eyes".

You really didn’t purge pressure frown lines!!!! Haha wow. Schrader valve on fuel rail next time lol.
Matt this is Matt (William Hill=backwards Hillbilly) Do you have a link for your light? It's kinda awesome!
I have also been curious about a turbo setup for a gas work truck (97 7.4) has anyone built something more work related than race, just curious if you can achieve reliable diesel like power with a low boost gas setup? if you know of anyone who has tried this let me know, thanks...
Light: www.amazon.com/ABN-Rechargeable-Underhood-Work-Light/dp/B018FKB4A6
did you have to change the fuel pump for the conversion?
For stock we had enough pump and injector it’s all stock just has flex sensor installed and enabled
Do you know which truck that hose came from?
like a 16 silverado i think
That shop light is the best, do you have a model # or link?
SilkyChar was sent to me by a youtube

It looks kind of similar to my one from Harbor Freight, but that one you have appears in the videos to be MUCH brighter.
BTW, I just ordered a shitload of those fancy butt connectors. Could you slap a quick crimp on the solder center part to hold the wires in position while you heat it up?
Matt where can you get the pins for the ecm?
like where do you buy additional pins? best is to just get an entire install kit from like DSX tuning, comes with everything you need. otherwise you'll have to source it all, stealing them out of gen4 ecu connectors is the best way obviously
The absolute cheapest combination I've found is from pace performance. Sensor, pigtail, extra wire, and shipping for right at $100.
The other way, I know to relieve fuel pressure, would be using a fuel pressure gauge, that had a relief valve on it and hooking it up to the valve on the car, and depressurizing the system into a container.
Although, like I said in my first comment, I enjoy the oh crap dance, when the line depressurize all over the place, and the guy tasked with the job does the infamous "Oh crap dance" 😁😎😋
When you put flex fuel kit will your car adjust automatically?
You have a list of car and trucks I can get the E85 sensor off of?
You could have release the fuel pressure at the rails at the front of the rails on the dr side there is a port for efi cleaning tool
What's the part number to that flex fuel sensor?
Subbed, Thank Taylor Ray
So you had to make a new tune for this? Or does the computer automatically fix its tune?
So when you hook up the E85 sensor the stock computer will automatically read the E content?
The stock ecu tune has alcohol spark tables, but are two or three other mixing tables that need to be changes from zeros, plus the sensor needs to be enabled and some diagnostics configured. I've found two how to's for this so far. Search for "How to put native E85 on your G8" and "Writeup on "How to add Flex Fuel setup"".
How much did the g8 put down stock? Going to dyno after e85?
totally stock pinging balls 279 or something like that, after a tune i think it made 295-300 ish, i will have to check, so i will retune on Ethanol and do the comparisons, i still have all the old dyno runs obviously still on the dyno
Sloppy Mechanics any guess when you’ll be able to get it on the dyno?
"Safety squints!" I love it 😀
Hey Matt
I know this is around a year old but did you notice if the sensor readings updated faster with the sensor being on the feed as opposed to it normally reading return?
Gen4 ecu updates really fast, you can even program in a delay if you want to. Since 90% of them are returnless people put them on the feed
@@SloppyMechanics alright so it's just a P01 p59. I've heard you say it takes a while to update didn't know if it was an fuel aeration issue or what thanks for clarifying happy holidays Matt
Sloppy, what under hood light is that? And where can I get some of those butt connectors?
Brain, be careful where you get the light, I paid something like $68 and the battery lasted 20min.
So, I took it apart and wired in a rather large battery, now it lasts over 2 hours.
Get the one with the spring loaded hooks, not the Harbor Freight ones, I have 3, and they use plastic gravity hooks and magnets.
BRIAN HENDERSON a viewer sent it in I am not sure what light it is exactly

Ol mate done good filming that one two fullas.
Nice work Matt.
Glens the Boss!
ethanol has less energy but good to have options i guess
the description gets me LOLOL
Lee Forget just stating the facts
Pull fuel pump relay, and run it till it dies then cranck once. Fuel pressure zero.
Deftones Dsm yes that's how you do it right
Those butt connectors are sweet. where'd you get em from?
I wanna know as well, I seen the "crimp" ones like this, but not ones with solder.
I can dig up a link later I got the multi pack off amazon they’re great for some things
i added them to the description of the video but here is a multi pack i bought to try, you can find 100 pcs packs of just one size but wanted to try all difference sizes etc
Here from Taylor Rays channel
Normally you pull the fuel pump relay and run it till it stalls lmao
is he completly deaf ? because i see you still speaking to him.
OH RIGHT he can probably read your lips
FPS Voltage I think he wears a hearing device that assists.
He has bilateral cochlear implants one high frequency and one low, he can “hear” but not like a regular person, he can read lips and sign, we have been working together for a while so I can sign also.
Some of the early LS1tech Q&A videos include Matt signing some words from the questions he's reading, without even thinking about it haha
EDIT: It may have been fanmail videos, I don't remember.
yeah i do it all the time when i don't realize. lol most people dont realize i am singing some things, they think i am just doing the hand stuff
You da man!!!
Nicest video yet . Matt needs help.
Sweet👍
Please turbo that G8 🙄
Money Shot!!!
