E85 guys, ethanol content LCD display group buy

[9guy9]

Thats pretty cool. I would think with all the new rage around E85 you could sell the crap out of these. I may want one in spring as well.

Could you please post up a picture of yours mounted if you have one.

You can add my name to the list if you'd like, but I am only in if we make it to 10 people. C'mon ya bastdards, sign up!

Also, what other colors are there for the display? Do they have a simple like Black backround with red digits? Kind of like my Apexi turbo timer, and PLX wideband displays? I'd prefer that if possible because those backlit ones with black digits seem hard to read sometimes when it's really bright out.

First off that display looks great in your car. I'm planning on going e85, but in all honesty, I wouldn't know what to do if the readings were abnormal. I mean don't you have to be able to pretty much tune your own car in order to benefit from knowing the ethanol content?

[Halon]

What are you using to tune with 98GSX? If you have some knowledge on tuning your own car, that would be very beneficial.

dsmlink, I understand HOW to do stuff with it, like I know where to go to find different settings. But I don't know how to tune a car. I've just never been taught. I tried reading up on dsmlink.com for a while, but it was a little advanced and overwhelming for me. I'd love to learn, I just haven't found anybody that could teach me.

It's really useful if you can tune your own car, when it changes I know to log the car and see if the tune needs to be brushed up before I rip on it. As I tweak the tune I save a copy and then can just load that tune up according to the display.

I think one of the things holding people back from signing up is getting a hold of a GM fuel sensor. I grabbed mine off ebay for $100 in the spring. I've seen them go for anywhere between $80 and $250 on Ebay for used/new ones. Finding a wrecked flex-fuel truck would be the best. Or if you are a baller you could just order a new one from gmpartsdirect.com for $360.

I also have a signal converter on mine that outputs a 0-5V analog signal, hoping to get that working with a hacked Evo9 ecu rom to alter boost/fuel/timing based on the Eth % like the new Saab turbos do. I can get the signal converter boxes too, they are $120ish

I'm down if we can get 10. I don't need it that bad and every penny I'd save the better.

3 for that one.

If some one can get me a sensor for $100, I will take one.

[Goat Blower]

Me too.
