FLEX FUEL AFTER GREEN SPEED | Ethanol gauge install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Installing an ethanol gauge on my WRX in this one. If you have a flex fuel sensor, but don't know what to do with it, Fear not! It's not obsolete.
All you need is a gauge to display the ethanol content, and the sensor does the exact same thing. I swear I'm a genius sometimes.
I really wanted to get this installed cleanly, but I had not the time nor the tools at my disposal to get this done right the first time.
Please let me know if you would like me to do a video to show the exact routing I used to make it clean.
Pretty sure you could just run the analog sensor off the gauge to the TGV and use that for a true flex fuel tune.
Delicious tuning flex fuel kit is green speed compliant.
Good to know 👌🏼
Yeah I have been running it for almost a year now and I love it! I really recommend delicious tunings flex fuel kit!
Opensource is the way to go man. For real.
I totally agree. Money is hard to come by
I Build Racecars has a flex kit that works with current updates. Just got my car tuned a week ago on flex. These cars aren’t super happy above 75% ethanol without injectors. An AEM340 got me to 345WHP on just an intake in case anyone was also curious about this.
I’ve been tuned for about 3 years on flex and It’s not necessarily the injectors that aren’t happy it’s the hpfp, my car started sputtering last year while driving and my ethanol content would be at e65, I lowered it about 6months ago to E60 and it’s been completely fine. The stock hpfp is known for going out while using e85 because it’s so corrosive.
Dude, you should just a E60 tune, no flex is needed at all, and you can make 330. To 350 wheel hp and torque!! All is needed is a DW 300 fuel pump Grimmspeed boost control solenoid and a Garret tmic aslo a E60 tune !! I’m personally running to set up on my base 18 wrx !! 🔥🔥🤘🏽
I have all those things plus more, and fmic rather than tmic. Dyno video is up next.

@@austinfromtexas yeah, i’m not trying to break the bank on my car lol, just wanted a little more HP 🤘🏽
@@austinfromtexas i’m tuned by Phattbotti, highly suggested bro!!!
Please run that wire correctly through the factory grommet behind the fender.
Don’t worry, I did
recently picked up the same gauge, just curious how did you wire both gauge and flex kit harness into the ethanol sensor? did you splice both together into one connection or are you running to separate ethanol sensors?
Either route the end that has the wires striped and tape them together with electric tape then tape them to a wire coat hanger or un pin the pins to the connector and route it throught the fire wall that comes out under the steering wheel/above the pedals.
At the end of the video, I show how I rerouted it…
If you pop out the wheel liner, there is a grommet right behind where you ran wires.
Ya I had seen that but couldn’t figure out how to get to it. May revisit it later on with more time.
I have a flex fuel kit and I see the ethanol content🤔
I’m currently going through tuning
How did you blow the motor? I'm trying not to lol
Hitting rev limiter while doing donuts In The snow
@@austinfromtexasthat sounds amazingly fun minus the headache after
yup, installed one of theses 5 years ago. works well for flex
There’s a few Cobb pro tuners that can still tune flexfuel. Don’t email them about all your deleted or non compliant parts, They won’t respond. That is all
Good to know 😎
But who…..
Remove license plate, bring car to Dyno on a trailer. This is the way.
The tuners who never connect to wifi or internet never got the cobb update. They can still tune your car pre cobb update changes.
Because dual map is a pain, having to run low enough to switch to either.
It's a straight up pain
The tuner made a map for e 50,60,70 and 80 so regardless of content, I have a map for it
Man my brain is hurting just from an aem fuel pump install today, so if I’m just rolling with the sensor and gauge innovate sent me only connect the red wire and ground the black wire I’ll get my ethanol count bc I see the yellow wire says something about ethanol count?
Ya I don’t think I even had to mess with the yellow wire
So if i buy this gauge is that all needed. Or i need to buy ethanol sensor
You need the ethanol sensor, the guage is optional. I use it to make sure my mixture is correct for the map that I load after getting gas
Is this the gauge kit on Import Image? Just got retuned on dual maps & have looked into this but never did it cause I wasn't sure if it would work.
I’m pretty sure iir has it available as well
@@austinfromtexas Sweet. Its the same brand as yours it looks like, just wasn't sure if it came with all the same bits as what you got. My A/F & Oil pressure gauge didn't come with add-a-fuses so that was a store run halfway through lol
You need to be aware: Flexfuel sensors DO NOT tell you now much ethanol is in your fuel. READ the research GM did on those sensors. What those sensors tell you is now much "not gasoline" you have. Since ethanol readily mixes with water and other liquids the "not gasoline" could be ethanol, but it could also be ethanol and water or ethanol and any other liquid. I'm shocked 30 years later people still don't know this. If you don't believe me do your own research.
Important information right here 👆🏼
What about the delicious tuning flex fuel kit?
I already had the Cobb installed so I didn’t look into that one. I’m not sure if the delicious tuning sensor works through the tgv sensors so you might be able to use that one as intended without throwing a code
Same problem. They all use the same sensors. They all measure "not gas", not how much ethanol you have. In fact you can test this yourself. Add 4 oz of pure ethanol, 4 oz of water and 2 oz of gasoline. Your sensor will say E80. But you know you only put 4 oz (out of 10) so it should read E40. But that's not how those ethanol/flex fuel sensors work. They actually measure how much gasoline you have and subtract from 100% to get the % of what's left, and they assume that's ethanol. That I am aware (and I have searched) there is no sensor that measures ethanol actually.
@@austinfromtexas the last tuner I spoke with said it doesn’t use the tgv and it essentially works the same way as the Cobb flex sensor so u don’t have to monitor anything u can just pop ethanol in there and the sensor does the work I don’t even have to run dual maps
@@joshuacole659 what tuner did you speak to?
I just ordered that same gauge but it includes the ethanol sensor! Gonna get dual tuned. Either e30 or e60 and 93, can't wait for spring
Definitely ask your tuner if they don’t mind doing E50,60,70, and 80. That’s what mine did for me, and I had no idea until the tune was done. Makes me think it’s fairly simple.
@austinfromtexas probably a good idea. My kit didn't come with a fuse tap though. Is there one you recommend?
I’m tuned preGreenspeed with TGV/EGR deletes and high flow Jpipe (v1 Grimmspeed). My tuner said that e60 isn’t possible because you need to reflash, you can do e30 real time mapping though.
Where’d you buy it from?
Why not just go open source and flex at that point.... wire the gauge yellow wire into your tgv and be done with it whatever E% you want without worry...
Is it just me or does it seem like there is a rattle snake rattling the entire time of the video
That is the sound of summertime in Texas. Also know as the cicada.
