Parts List:
1. Wires ( http://a.co/euZScYw )
2. Shrink tubes ( http://a.co/gC0W2E5 )
3. Add a circuit fuse ( http://a.co/9fjOJx3 )
4. Wire sleeve or loom ( http://a.co/iI1DTnO )
4. Fuel fittings/lines ( see below for options )
5. Plug for ECT2 ( optional - http://www.cycleterminal.com/hx-series.html - 2 pin HX .040 Male Connector)
6. Flex fuel sensor/ Kit ( see below for options )
7. Fuel clamps for the fuel line if you use OEM line ( local car parts store)
Fuel line options:
1. Modifying the OEM fuel line with Dorman fitting ( http://a.co/imEgKZa )
2. AN Fuel line
2 x Russell 641303 -6AN Male to 1/4" SAE Quick Disconnect Female Push-On Fitting ( http://a.co/4BBXuHa )
2 x Russell 644123 -6AN Male to 3/8" SAE Quick EFI Adapter Fitting ( http://a.co/ao5CfNI )
3 x Russell 610025 Black -6AN Full Flow Hose End ( http://a.co/0bONiI5 )
1 x Russell 610165 Black Full Flow 90 degree Hose End ( http://a.co/9DynGVF )
1 x Russell 632053 Black ProClassic Hose 3ft ( http://a.co/b2H7tse )
Fuel Fuel Sensor / Kit:
1. KTuner converter box $99 + GM flex fuel sensor with pigtail $80-100?? ( I'm not sure which GM flex fuel sensor would work. Hopefully someone can comment on this. Also if someone has a link to it) ( http://prlmotorsports.com/ktunerflexfuelconverter.aspx#.Wi1kEkqnH0w )
2. Innovate Motorsports 3904 MTX-D $210 ( http://a.co/bruW8N8 )
3. Zeitronix ECA-2 $299 ( http://www.zeitronix.com/order/order.htm )
I'm personally running a Zeitronix ECA-2, So some things might be different depending which kit you get. The power and ground should be the same on any kit (red/black).
Zeithronix output wire color is white/blue
KTuner output wire color is yellow
1. Remove OEM fuel line.
Remove the Clip from the connector
Push the green clips in and pull on the line to remove it off the fuel line.
Do the same on the other end of the line by the intake manifold
2. Cut the fuel line, insert the fuel clamps and add the Dorman fittings. Use a heat gun to heat up the hose to easily slide over the Dormans fitting. You can also put the fuel line ends in boiling water for a few mins to soften them up. Tighten up the clamps after properly sliding the hose all the way.
3. Reinstall the fuel line
4. Make your harness
Zeitronix ECA-2 came with most of the harness needed. Just have to extend the power, ground and ethanol output wire.
The length of the wire depends on where you are placing your ethanol converter unit at. I placed my by the fuse box.
Here you can add your add a circuit fuse into the harness power wire (red), add a ring terminal for the ground. and add your output wire (10-12ft).
I used a quick connected on the output wire. This will allow me to remove the unit if needed. I can just cut the shrink tube and not the wire.
I sleeved all the wires and shrink tubed them too.
Running your wires to the engine bay
You will need to depin the plug for the flex fuel sensor. Looking at the front, you will see a purple cover. Use a small flat head and pop it off from each side.
Pull the wires out and slice the shrink tube. Remove the wire loom
Get a coat hanger and tape the wire to one end. put some soapy water on the tape. So you can easily slide it pass the gourment
View attachment 75421
Insert the coat hanger into this gourmet where the hood release cable is going through. You will need to do this to all 3 wires and the ethanol output wire
Pull the wire up from here. After you get all 3 wires through, put the biggest shrink tube over the 3 wires. Then put the pins back into the plug.
After you fed the output wire into the engine bay. You can add the plug to the wire but make sure you have enough wire to each to the ECT2 plug.
This is what you need to do to make the plug fit.
Shave the ribs off from the center and top. Use a sharp knife and slice them off slowly
Crimp your wire to the pin it comes with. Insert it to the right side if you are looking at it from the back side.
Route your wire however you want. I routed my with the flex fuel sensor harness by the firewall then went to the front by the radiator .
You will need to jack the car up and place the front on jack stands. Take the under tray off and the ECT2 plug will be on the passenger side radiator by the lower radiator hose.
Unplug the blue ECT2 plug and plug the ethanol output plug into it.
After you have the ECT2 and flex sensor plugged in. Grab the wire loom that you took off earlier. Reloom the harness back into it. I ran my output into the loom too. That shrink tube we placed on the harness earlier. You can use that on where we spliced the original one earlier. You can zip tie the loom onto the plastic caps .
Time to go back into the car to connect the power and ground.
I used the add a circuit on an empty fuse slot. Make sure it's on that slot in the picture. It's an accessory power slot. So it will get power only when the car is on. If the add a circuit feels loose, you can bent the pins the opposite direction to make it a tighter fit.
I used the hood latch bracket nut to ground my unit.
All Done! Now enable flex fuel on your software and disable ECT2 and code p0128.
If you didnt buy the plug for ECT2. You have 2 options 1) splice into the red wire on the ect2 plug 2) splice into the ecu pin e54 for ECT2
If you are using KTuner converter,you can leave your converter in the engine bay. You only need to run the power wire to the inside fuse box. If you're willing to cut your fuse box in the engine bay. You can also tap your power from there.
For KTuner users, you will need to use the KTuner converter and not the other 2 listed.
If I missed something , please let me know
