A side note, some of the early harnesses (or random) didn’t have the pin locker slid over. I was getting canbus time out codes intermittently. If you look inside both plug ends there is a grey slider bar. My slider was not put in the locked position and some of the pins vibrated out of touch. If this happens I’d check those. Thanks for the vids as always bro!

Thanks for the recognition glad you like our Ethanol 360 high flow fittings as much as we do! The video is very informative and well done good work!

@atomos319 4 месяца назад

I have installed mine in a g30 5 series and am having issues with the fittings popping off on the hpfp side. What could I be doing wrong? I pull them back and slide on, they feel snug when I pull them by hand. Car reeks like fuel now.

@thierryhimself2796 Год назад

Nice improvement over the previous setup/fitting! As for your content itself, it's always spot on and hundred percent pure information with no lifestylish BS and brostuff, so not sure it's an improvement over previous videos, but at least it's perfect.

But in their video of installation, they actually show the example of 91 octane fuel not 93 , so I don’t know why you’re saying this kit does not support 91 octane.

@glacier_m240i Год назад

Also curious on this, have one ordered and planned to use with 91 octane. I guess I’ll just check logs a few times.

@ProcTech Год назад

I think people asked if it can detect 91 or 93 and send that info to the dme to modify engine power, which this does not do.

@codybock3834 Год назад

I agree...this comment confused me. Kern is a master, but now I'm concerned about needing a custom tune with 91 and flexfuel kit...MHD has a multimap, stage 1,2 or 3 with 91,92 or 95 octane. I thought the beauty of this kit is taking out the guess work/custom tune piece, and now I'm doubting my setup...any clarification would be very much appreciated.

@kern417 Год назад

I did not say the kit does not support 91 octane. Ethanol content is separate from fuel octane. You can have E0 fuel thats anywhere from 87 octane to 93+. So you need to confirm that the E0 base map for your tune is not too aggressive for the pump gas you run. When I discussed with tuners, they specified that it was set for 93oct/98ron. The safest bet is to get a custom tune for whatever fuel you have, especially if you have ACN91 fuel.

@michaelsegovia2917 Год назад

Is it necessary/ mandatory to install a flex fuel kit? or can i just use MHD stage 2 plus tune with a b58tu pump on full e85? also thank you for all the content and knowledge you give us. Thanks

Hello there! Before I asked wanted to mention this channel was my inspiration since I took my m240i Cabrio! I go through all stages now with Vargas GC+ stage 3 just ordered dorch flex kit 🙆‍♂️ I’m leaving in a Uk - very limited sources of ethanol in here Mostly overpriced racing fuel etc Do you know guys what particular/best type of ethanol needs to be mixed with 98 fuel? I’ve seen some people mix with just 98/99% bio ethanol or similar some others says b58 doesn’t like it? Any advices will be much appreciated!

@devastaterzx6906 Год назад

Ethanol will work, now with bio-ethanol, from what I’m seeing 95% Ethanol (190 proof) stuff pops up. Mainly used in fireplaces. If the ethanol you’re referring to is 200 proof 99/100% ethanol, that will work. Either that or E98 or E85 race fuel , (VP X85, Ignite Red, Sunoco E85R) etc. If you’re looking for a more affordable option than race ethanol, try and see if there are any distillers that produce ethanol and see how the price compares with the race stuff.

@shelbyhaiketic4212 Год назад

I’m confused, I live in California and don’t have access to 93 octane. I want to run the mhd stage 2 hpfp tune on e40. Which I can do mixing 91 with e85. But let’s say I’m running low on gas and there’s no e85 pumps near me, will the can flex fuel kit allow me to just run 91 octane on that same tune ? Will it auto adjust it for me ?

@kern417 Год назад

i would recommend flashing stage 2 91. there is no 91oct tune for stage 2 hpfp from mhd.

You said the flex fuel kit wont adjust for a full tank of 91 octane safely, but my question is can i run 91+e85 to get my e40 mix or do i need to run a higher octane like 93+e85 to get my e40 with the flex fuel kit without a custom tune

@bmurph980 Год назад

you can use motiv reflex with bm3 but its not fully integrated. mhd is better if you want to run motiv bc it can pop a cel if something is wrong. I don't personally use motiv so someone else that does might know more details.
