Flex Fuel Conversion Underway! **With Results** - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I feel like it's Christmas in June!

Just dropped my car off to Matt at FSP for the conversion. Going with Fore triple pumps, Deatsch Werks 1500cc injectors, -8 feed and -6 return fuel lines and the associated tune. Can...hardly...wait...

Flex fuel is definitely worth the few extra bucks.

KaBoom1701 · 06-20-2016, 02:43 PM

What are the HP gains with this?

Hocky · 06-20-2016, 03:00 PM

Depends on the combo, but 30-50 is pretty normal.

97ChameleonTA · 06-20-2016, 03:21 PM

I'm expecting 50+ to the wheels. And that's on a Mustang dyno. I'll be nothing short of pissed if it's only 30...

djcolopi · 06-20-2016, 03:28 PM

10-20% increase in HP and TQ

I picked 78whp switching to e85. It's awesome

EARL99208 · 06-20-2016, 05:41 PM

Not all gas stations have E85 fuel......so now what happens when you have to put in reg/unleded fuel with a custom tuned high performance car tuned to the E85 fuel?

That is why you use a flex fuel sensor - it doesn't matter. It reads alcohol content and then pcm adjusts target fueling accordingly.

EARL99208 · 06-20-2016, 05:44 PM

So with this conversion you can run all fuels that we might encounter at any gas station?

Correct, with the flex fuel sensor I can run straight 93, straight E85 or any blend in between and the tune will adjust for it.

A WIN/WIN situation than.

You'll love the Flex fuel conversion Marty! Should see max gains with your Chller setup and Matt's install.
