This is a nicely put together kit .We have installed them before and if you're looking for a plug and play kit without additional wiring etc this is the kit for you!

Can you guys share how you lay the harness? Cant find any real info on this. Are you laying the harness over the existing harness and securing with zip ties? I found that this method does not allow the airboxes to sit flush with the insulation pads. Are you removing the insulation pads to allow the boxes to sit correctly? Im sure those pads absorb a fair amount of heat to prevent tranfer to the air box so I dont think they should be removed

I wound up getting the harness on the underside of the fuel rail which was a real pita but the insulation pads fit perfect and the airboxes are fine. I just dont like the idea of the wires being directly onto the rail.

Pretty good effort Cyra. I said I was down to pay original GB price. $1200+$400 injectors. $1250+$650 is not the same price. But you should be able to round up a couple guys who don't have headers. Thats the real deal breaker for me. Not looking to pay around 2k when I just paid close to 3k for the LTH.

Yeah I’m trying! I’ve read all the threads and pmd lots of guys with the ATX get and ultimately decided that, despite the cost vs the “other guys”, I wanted their kit. To each their own but I wanted to try and round up another group of people regardless of injector needs. I’m just not ina position to do LTH but I appreciate the predicament re injectors.

You should be able to find them as this is only a $50 difference from original GD price for kit only. Like I said, pretty good deal.

Blows my mind that people are paying (on a group buy special no less) $1250 when you can get the same results, with a better app, for $350. $900 more so you don't have to pop a pin into a connector?? Smh

And that may not even be an issue anymore as the folks at EflexFuel recently mentioned to me that they are going to start pinning the connectors themselves to eliminate the confusion. If that's the case, there is no difference at all, except that if you already have a eurocharged tune they will not sell you a FF tune unless you use their kit.

I think whats putting people off to that kit is not just the tune or the connectors. Its the fact that it looks "cheap". I know that doesnt matter if it works the same (has better app) but from the pics the afd kit just simply looks better. Now is it worth the price difference? I personally feel it isn't unless it comes with discounted injectors and a e85 tune. So all you non header people that were on the fence, just get it. Cyra went through the trouble of setting up the group buy, and is getting it a $250 discount. Or you guys can wait and pay $1500 for it later.

Sacto beat me to it. To date, afaik, no one has actually physically put the two kits side by side and reviewed them. Lots of comparisons from online images etc. We certainly can’t say as a fact that the hardware is the same, quality, etc. True the sensor appears to be the same as many e85 kits out there. I think I read once it’s a GM part etc.

I’ll say this. I was one of the first to buy this kit when it first came out. I have the ported 550 cc stock injectors with my headers. After running it for a while now with various mixes of e. In all weather conditions as low as single digits. This kit performs. The car runs amazing on full e85. You can definetly feel a difference. When paired with the tune. It is impressive. I run full e with the e85 tune all summer I love it! The install is super simple. You guys can talk all day about cheaper eBay style kits. No thanks! When it comes to an AMG I’d rather go with a tested proven name brand kit. This motor isn’t cheap to replace. Plus you can get a tune for it. That’s huge. When this kit came out it was a first for this platform. These other kits are rebranded generic kits. Do they work the same maybe. This isn’t a Honda b18 to try it on though. I go with the tried and true kit for more money just my 2 cents.

I hear y'all and am not trying to **** on anyone...just looking to save my fellow forum members some money. Keep in mind the EC kit is just rebranded afd which uses the same control box for all of their kits. Camaro, Stang, m3, Vette, Charger, Challenger, etc all have the same brain, just like the eflex kit. None of these kits are tailored to a specific engine. I get this is a MB board and a lot of you won't sweat an extra grand for peace of mind, but for poor folks like me it's seems nuts. However, the tune is a big deal if you're a eurocharged customer. If not, then no problem. Just keep in mind that the magic is in the fuel, not the kit.

My Shell station just hit $3.99 for 91. No risk in putting your name on the list if we don’t hit the number!

Just because you paid more doesn't mean the kit your running is any higher quality than the one Doc and I are running. Yea the m156 isn't cheap but an ethanol sensor and controller is an ethanol sensor and controller. In other words if my $340 kit monitors the ethanol content and adjust the duty cycle accordingly than what is your point? It's kinda like saying football team A is better because they showed up wearing brand new Nike's vs team B who had busted up Reebok's. Both teams are playing football.

I appreciate that there are certainly ongoing debates about the two kits on the market. Let's keep this thread going about the GB please, and continue debates about pro/cons and costs of the two for the other threads!
