Nice work. Have to grab some pictures of how the lines finished up as well.

Thanks! And I'll snap some closer pics. The 2 lines that I needed to finish we're one from the Y block to the rail, and then one from the bottom of the regulator to the line I already ran for return

Anyone know how to post a video on here? That's saved on my phone

I didn't notice, do you mind posting what your rough estimate of total cost is?

​​​​​​I would say $800 is a good round-about

I think I can manage that!

Just know there's gonna be alot of debate going on with it. And how it works without adjusting timing and so on, also the price.
So those are the things I'm gonna be battling other people with.
I bought the kit to prove it works.
Still possible it won't.
But we will find out

E55 and several 928s
I didn't know the e85 kit was completed. I thought we were waiting for HATS.

I have the first kit outside of the test cars and other chassis I believe. The hat is what's holding him up. But I don't need the hat because of the way I did my fuel setup.
He almost refused to sell me the kit until I had my car ready lol.
Which I'm glad, because I would have probably just slapped it on being as impatient as I am.
My kit was delivered today, install this week.

Having problems with the fuel level sensors. Need to work on installing them in to the tank a different way. I ran out of gas at 1/4 tank, then "fixed" it, and now have had a full tank of gas for 3 days 🙄


On another note, flex kit came today. Installed in like 30 minutes (would have been quicker if I took the intakes off first)

630cc Injectors and new map go on the car this weekend. Then it's Atlanta bound to get tuned in person on the dyno with Tony!

Update

All level sensor problems are fixed. The return lines venturi pump pickup line was in the way and not allowing the sensor to go all the way down, rerouted the line and ziptied it to the factory venturi port. All is good.


Check out my "e55 flexfuel!" Thread for updates on the flex kit from eurocharged. Which works btw! Very happy with it.

My fuel setup is now 110% complete!

They worked together to produce the kit. Dave knows them personally.
The kit hasn't been 100% released yet as he is waiting for his fuel hats to be done.
That's why on the afd website they're not for sale yet

Update

Setup is still working 100%
moved some lines and the fpr around to be more aesthetically pleasing and get rid of some extra hose.
All I had to do was buy a single -6 female to female AN fitting and use the plastic hose clip that holds the SAI hose in place, that I no longer have.
Very happy with how it turned out

I ran a similar set up on my old CL55 but the OEM fuel pumps and oem fuel sensor were different. Ran Duel pumps, larger braided lines, Y block to rails and lots of E85. Only problem with pump e85, is not having a sensor to adjust tune to the variances in pump E85 , so that leaves buying e85 from race fuel supply to keep A/F ratio consistent.

You will be greatly missed brotha. For those that don’t know Travis has recently passed from heart failure. He was a very big asset to our community and would always try to help in a way he could. Was never negative in any situation and was truly a humble person. A go fund me has been started for his family:
