Help. installin flex fuel wires.

eddi3B. · 07-11-2012, 06:57 PM

had a question about the install. in step 8 "8) Remove the DB25/AMP shell and insert the FlexFuel DSUB pin in to position 21. Check the
numbering twice before inserting as once inserted a DSUB can not be removed without a special
DSUB removal tool" did u mean position 2 or 1. and which connector is the amp? bigger or smaller of the two. thanks stuck on the install please reply as soon as you can. thanks

I just got my wires as well. The bigger one is the AMP one, it's printed on it. If you read closely with enough light you'll read it. I have not started my install by the way.

I figured it out last night . Filled a 60/40 mix- switched to map5 - changed the open loop settings to
60 and after a few wot's the car became a beast. I was peaking at 18psi and consistent at 16-17 . Between shifts are smooth as butter w/ no lag and consistent power . Loving this new mod. If it makes my neck snap back in every gear im happy. Best 25 dollars I've ever spent. Thanks terry for looking out w/ the quick responses

Wow, great to hear. I love mine as well. Def seems like a brief delay now with my wires and 7/1 update. Power comes on stronger, however. Quick question what is your auto learn level at? Mine has been at 4 and 5.

so those of us with Meth don't need the wire bundle (per Terry) - I wonder how the e85 mix will do for us... I hope its as good as the reviews above..... very cool indeed....

love to see some before/after dynos

+2.

I really like my Procede but this might be the tipping point for me. E85 is everywhere in my neck of the woods and with one year gone on my two year lease, there is only so much time I can burn waiting for Vishnu to give some N55 love...

You could def use e85 with procede. I did look at my results with no meth/intercooler. The procede already comes with the fueling wires .

mine is set to 1 ( default setting) what exactly does configuring that setting do, not to sure. if someone can explain what the difference between 1-4 is id appreciate it. not to sure i want to adjust it tho. the car is an animal. i started taking the long way home

F335i · 07-13-2012, 06:46 AM

Did you raised the over boost safety to 18 psi or you left it default 17 psi eddie?

I've never seen my car ever go past 17.5 only on a spike. I don't think our turbos flow enough haha..

You would def need the fuel wire to feel a difference.

I am running 50/50 E85 on Map 5 with no fuel wire and it runs like a beast. Not sure what your talking about? I have been running it for 7 months now with no problems.

the flex fuel wires I thought can handle up to 30/70 - whats the max you can use?

also, where are these wires intalled ?

n are u supposed to change open loop settings? or you just decided to.

335 oClock · 07-18-2012, 10:36 PM

so let me get this straight... I get the flex fuel wires.. i can fill up 40% tank e85 60% tank 91octane... run map 5... and it'll hit 17PSI and become a beast?

whats this "setting 1-4" you guys are talking about?

what about "open loop settings"
