Flex fuel kit. School me
Im interested in running e85 in my car. Do the typical kits comunicate with the oem ecu or is something else required. The kits i looked at dont seem to have a built in computer. Im basing that off shear size of the unit. I have seen kits from 130 to 900. Trying to make the right decisions
Thanks |

You only need a flex fuel kit if you want to be able to bounce back and forth from e85 to gas on the fly (or use the different concentrations of E) as far as I know.
The flex fuel kit would however speak to the ecu that has been flashed to work with it. |

If youre tuned for E85, and one day get E70 from a pump, you may have a bad time. |
