Jellybean Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Can the OEM fuel setup run Ethanol and Flexifuel Sensor (Modern ECU) or do components need to be swapped out? Flexifuel Sensor looks after the mixture but is it an issue to have X % of ethanol sitting in your tank? Where do you guys get Ethanol? Still yet to find a source here in Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 You'll need aftermarket lines as the OEM ones corrode with ethanol iirc. Teflon lines are the best bet as they eliminate the smell quite well. Hodge can sort you out with what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 You will need bigger injectors, compatible fuel pump and Teflon lines from the top of my head, I'll go through my paperwork from SRD and see what else has been changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks , taught as much! Will give it a miss and leave it for next stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Injector o rings too, but they should be included with the ethanol compatible ones. Lines, fittings, fuel pressure reg and pumps. Probably need to change the fuel rail too if you're doing that lot. Certainly not a cheap exercise, but we'll worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks! Will look into it again when I need a beefed up fuel setup , expense would not warrant it for BPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I wouldn't worry about it for bpu; turbos are at their limit and lot of expenses for a little bit of improved throttle response. Cams would be a better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
