Watched this video 4 times before I even had the flex fuel kit, in the process of putting it on now. Thank you again for this video because the paper instructions were confusing me. I'd also note that when taking the harness out after removing the red clip theres a little bump/ridge under it that when you press in allows for the handle to be slid back. Once again thank you for not making me want to burn my car to the ground.
Why is any of this needed? A modern day ECU (2013 -currant) already looks for ethanol readings. You should be able to put e85 in it already and the stock ECU should make the appropriate adjustments
Normally that statement would be correct, however the camaro is one of the only products in the GM lineup that doesn't have the e85 tables in its programming.
A trick I learned doing this was that a standard size paperclip fit perfectly to push the placeholder pin out and allow you to put in the pink signal wire. :)
If I install my kit my car should work just fine without a tune as long as I don't fill with e85 right? I will need that tune to activate the sensor so I can start filing my tank with e85.
Couldn't say. I never found a tuner that would do e85 before I sold the car. However, u can look on hptuners and see if the ethanol content changes with fillups.
What work did you have to get down to the engine to get this installed? Because every single video that I watched nobody's saying anything about that and that is something that people should say, What all the work needs to be done to the engine or intake to have this install because it seems really easy but it's probably more than that. I'm not a mechanic by all means, but I would hate to do this to my car and finding out later that something else needed to be done.... I will use your video for help later when I decide to install mine, easy to follow directions.
I'm going through tuning right now but hoping that e85 will get me another 50hp over the 93 tune. On a separate note, our stock fueling isn't capable of running full e85 so you have to go e45.
@@tsigoloiborcim From what I understand the pressure has to be higher to inject more fuel into the cylinder due to the direct injection. I never did get the flex fuel going because it blew up last october and now im looking for a tuner who can do flex.
@@boltbreakers8805 Man! Sorry to hear that! Keep us posted when you get it going again. I have a 2016 2T malibu which is the same motor and turbo as the Camaro, but there's not much out there specific to the Malibu.
THIS is how instructional videos are supposed to be. SOMEBODY PAY THIS MAN
Lol. Thanks!

Thanks so much for making this video.
Great reference. Didn’t quite know where to power it.

Yessir. I had mine installed with no issues. If u have hptuners you can check on your ethanol content after fillups to check if it's working.
Saving this video, that’s a bunch!
My tuner told me i can install this and drive it still is it true or do i have to tune it right away
You can run it like that but not with e85. It has to be tuned for flex fuel.
Hey man did your sensor have trouble tuning cuz mine didnt go higher than 40% e85 and they told me the sensor was not working properly
Couldn't say. I never found a tuner that would do e85 before I sold the car. However, u can look on hptuners and see if the ethanol content changes with fillups.
you may of still had 93 octane in the tank causing it to bled or maybe it was bad e85 not as strong
Where do you get the tune for the flex fuel kit for it to read and run the e85 you’re putting In?

The engine needs no additional modifications to burn ethanol fuels. It's the tune and the programming that needs changed to make this work.
where did you get oil Cath you provide the link?
The red one is just an ebay generic can. The mishimoto can I think I got that from phastek.
@@boltbreakers8805 is the same for Camaro SS
it's a generic can so you have to make it fit your application. Yes, I'd say it fits but you'll have to find another way to mount it.
What have you don’t to the car? Did you upgrade the fuel pump?
Could you please post the link for the zzp e85 kit? I can't find it in the website. I need one for a 2022 2.0T. Thanks
zzperformance.com/products/ltg-e85-flex-fuel-conversion-kit
It says " This kit will not work without our PCM tune" did you use other tune? Please explain
Did you have to get the zzp pcm ? Or will it work with a custom tune ?
It should work with the stock cp. It just needs tuned to be able to run ethanol.
@@boltbreakers8805 just bought mine lookin forward to it did you have to change fuel pump or injectors?
@@1slowwltg744 You shouldn't have to unless you have a built motor and going for 400+hp.
Wil this work on a 2017 Camaro 2.0 ?
It should. Just earlier this year some tuners cracked the 16-17 computers for e85 fueling.
Bolt Breakers do you know which flex fuel kit they used ?
@@sleepr_v141 The camaro kits should all be the same. Its the programming of the CP that's different.
Bolt Breakers now is that on the stock turbo or upgrade turbo, reason I ask I have the zfr from zzp
@@sleepr_v141 shouldn't really make a difference on the turbo, although it'll be a custom tune for the zfr.
What are all the mods you have
Full bolt on. Front mount intercooler, catted-less rev-9 downpipe, zzp throttle body, electric cutout, and a home made air intake.
are you able to show ur set up and im interested in electric valve for the exhast
Sure can. I have a build thread on the camaro forums. Cutout should be on page 2. www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515632
That emblem on the back that has the T where did you get that?
That is a buick regal turbo emblem. GM part # 227449414
Ok thank you 🙏
Is your sensor reading e85?
Not tuned on e85 yet but I would say yes. Hp tuners registers a change in alcohol content every time I fill up at a different gas station.
Bolt Breakers Do you mind emailing me ? I have a few questions. Angel.921.garcia35@gmail.com
How much power does the e85 make vs premium gas?
I'm going through tuning right now but hoping that e85 will get me another 50hp over the 93 tune. On a separate note, our stock fueling isn't capable of running full e85 so you have to go e45.
@@boltbreakers8805 I was thinking of getting a kit for my 2017, but seems to complicated for my liking . Also not being able to run full e sucks
@@boltbreakers8805 Is it the injectors or fuel pressure, or both that are the problem? Also, did you ever upgrade to run full E85?

Not sure. The process is prob the same but I would not assume the pin numbers are the same.
