How to put native E85 on your G8

[ChitownCraig]

If you live in the Western burbs of Chicago around Darien it might be the time to switch to E85. The Speedway at 75th and Cass has E85 for $2.59, $1.40 cheaper then 87 (it's usually $1.20 cheaper) and $1.80 cheaper then 93. By doing the math you are actually saving money and gaining performance for this price!

Yea, those ghetto ass conversion kits are a cheap trick that will definitely be FAR from a reliable and fully calibrated setup. All they are doing is adding duration to the injector pulse width based on some pre-defined algorithm. It has no consideration for programmed voltage offsets or short pulse adders, nor does it actively know the alcohol content.

I'd bet $10,000 cash that I can dial a car in to the teeth with a flex fuel kit (I sell kits for $200 plus tuning) compared to that $449 gimicky setup. They're not using ANY sort of operating feedback from the O2 sensors, trims, or anything from the vehicle's PCM.

Where can i purchase a kit from you? and do you have an installation guide?

These threads are the reason why I like this site more than the other one

Can anyone post some pics of the sensor install with the additional fuel line and fittings installed? This is my next mod.....

Resurrecting...

Thought I'd add my solution. I went for the same setup from the firewall to the sensor as Greg, but used a oem C5 fuel line from the sensor to the rail. It's braided, PTFE lined, and uses the stock locking clips. They can be bought on the cheap.

Nice find. Not as cheap new as I was expecting, but not bad.
10324452 - about $62.00

I debated about buying a new one but there seems to be plenty of used ones available. I bought 2 for about $10 a piece. The seals still looked good when I got them and they fit nice and snug. I'll keep an eye on them but I feel they are good to go.

Excellent thread, thanks for taking the time to post this. Will be installing my own ff kit this week.

So, anyone know why you wouldn't be able to use something like one of these 2?

Not sure if these are PTFE lined. Physically they would work but venturing into unknowns with E85 capability.
