My F5 key is completely disintegrated... and my left mouse button is about to go as well. I demand with every initial Flex Fuel Kit sold, there will be a set of a keyboard and a mouse included.

So while we are waiting for OP to deliver the turn key kit... couldn't you also purchase one of these separately, run a wire back to the ECU so that ethanol content is being communicated and have one of the tuners provide a custom maps tune? Isn't this all that is happening with these kits? I am not opposed to paying for a full kit, just trying to demystify how they work and determine what the value is in going that route vs buying the parts separately from the tune.

As I said, @FA20Club.com already has a full kit ready to go. Send him a message if you're interested...

Yeah I am pretty stoked, I have wanted one of these for a while now. Ever since the valero with e-85 opened around the corner from my house. Now I get to discover how hard it is to install injectors & fuel pump.

Hi John, Do we need to install new injectors and fuel pump as well??

If we don't have to upgrade the fuel pumpand injectors, would it be a good idea to upgrade the fuel pump now anyway??? I will be going down the turbo route at some point this year, and running your flex fuel kit.

I am just waiting to see who makes a kit that best suits me. I am aiming for 250KW around 330HP.

Soo how do people feel about cutting wires on their ECU?

Does everyone really need a ECU jumper harness .. Even if it increases the total price by $200 ?

Need input

John

Can the harness be used for other devices as well or will it be for just the Flex fuel kit??

How many wires? I'd rather spend a few bucks on solder and some heat-shrink tubing than pay for a jumper harness.
