So is the sensor required to make this work also the Zeitronix component $359 or is it provided by ProEFI? If so how much is the ProEFI sensor for Flex fuel?
You got me thinking about it...

Yes Randy, because you have a 48 unit you will need the sensor and their etanol content display that changes the signal from the sensor into a linear analog output that the 48 unit can read. SO thats about 559 total and then you can sell that meth kit, oh and that meth pressure sensor I put in I can credit you for!!

He want to do some research about this before he decides. Is there any good links?

No, you just need to tune it once on pump gas. Then once you activate the flex fuel sensor, fueling changes are automatic.

Is that a fact?

Well, go to ww.proefi.com and download the software and take a look at it and see if your tuner has any questions.

You're killing me Larry. I am sooo close to giving you the OK. Still thinking about it. You said its safer, so I am reaaaallllly leaning towards your suggestion...Gonna sleep on it.

EDIT...
...Can't sleep. Alright, I'll do it. But you have to help me with pics of the existing meth kit to help me sell it. Then we can go ahead with plan B. Installing E85 Sensor and gauge.

Hmmm...this is good for the North east!!...with the drastic temperature changes and the lack of consistent E85 stations, this would ease alot of concerns...

I like it

What exactly do I need to run e85? I've read a few things on the forum regarding it.

The only thing I know for sure is that you need larger injectors.

Generally, because at this point because E-85 is still only slightly less efficient (5-15%) than regular gas, you will need more of it to be able to take advantage of the true benefits. What does this mean...even though you save at the pump in terms of cost, you may need to make more stops to fill up. In my eyes, its like getting a discount for race gas (105 octane).

So to more simply answer your question: bigger injectors...yes, maybe even more pumps...perhaps a twin or triple pump option. Hope this helps.

depending on your HP goals, prolly best to jump straight to 3 pumps (or a surge tank and external weldon pump) and 1600cc+ injectors.

We've seen twin pumps and 1200cc injectors maxed at ~630whp DD

Interesting.

Since the fuel filter is built into the pumps, is anyone running any sort of extra filter since you can't clean the one in the fuel pump?
