I spent about 5hrs setting up some really complicated stuff in the ECU.

Anyone willing to cut wires can do flex fuel.

Right now I'm working on a plug and play kit for both GTR and BRZ.

On top of that I'm also working on some new electronics that will allow me to provide a failsafe system. Going with the zentronixs system does not have a failsafe. If the sensor goes bad or gets unplugged the ecu will still think everything is OK and will see a 65% ethanol content reading. This could be bad if you really on pump.


Here are the fuel lines I'm using on the GTR..

I have similar lines for the BRZ/FRS

Here's some pics of this past weekend - Going through some of my new circuitry



I've been busy
Absolutely no disrespect meant, but I find this humorous. The pics you posted are simple calculations for a resistor divider network, sophomore level EE stuff.

Just wanted to point this out.

FWIW, I am highly looking forward to this flex fuel kit. Don't get me wrong.

Excited to see it. On my Evo, due to having a stock frame FP Black and high compression motor, I go from 352whp to 556whp just by filling up with E85 and flipping a switch. I am well aware of the benefits of running ethanol and look to in this car as well. Unfortunately, nothing like this flex fuel map interpolation is available with the stock Evo ECU. Your work is very exciting.
