Roland@pcmtec Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 For those of you who like coding and electronics here is a DIY Flex Girl kit using an audino for roughly $100 https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/e85-ethanol/734384-e85-gauge-w-output-under-100-a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxr6turbo Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So is there a way of feeding this info back into the stock bf ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Would work exactly the same as the normal flex fuel kit + custom os eg it would be wired into the rear O2 sensor analog input. There would be no support if you use DIY I just put this up in case people wanted something more flexible (lol) and had programming/aduino experience.

Dolan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hmm very interesting! I could design and produce a kit for this if enough people are interested. Might make it a lot cheaper and easier for the people who know how to solder up a PCB but not how to design and program a Arduino based board!

Roland@pcmtec Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 You are welcome to make your own kit and sell it, however be aware if a customer goes to a workshop with this kit you would have to provide them with support and a warranty on it. If you don't then we would end up copping flack from the workshop and having to support an unknown product. Currently Pirotta Performance makes all the flex fuel kits which are sold to the workshops which are the only kits we officially support, the reason behind this is the voltage calibration for these kits if hard coded into our UI, he supplies a plug and play loom with connectors with step down resistors where required, also fuel rail fittings etc. There is no technical reason why you cannot make your own kit (voltages are configurable in the software), I just want people to be aware if they buy it and go see a workshop that we will not be able to provide them with technical support regarding it. If you are tuning yourself etc, then obviously there is no issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerTurbo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 looks like a cheap way to do things, pitty there no decent e85 availability in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 You can also just buy the $100 ethanol converter from nistune if you are looking to save costs, this is a 5V output which will still need to be stepped down to 1.6v max (max the rear o2 can accept) https://www.nistune.com/index.php/nistune-shop/flexfuel/nistune-flex-fuel-converter-harness-detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxr6turbo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Can anyone tell me what fuel connectors I need to join it to a Ford XR6 Turbo BF? A photo would be Great if someone has one installed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
