Nice find buddy!!! Shit now I want one of these. I didn't see a price though? What's this technical do hicky gonna cost.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

These evo's are spendy. More respect to you ballers

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

You got to $$pay$$ to play, its just the way I'm looking at it.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

The ethanol gauges cost a lot due to the sensor itself being a small fortune. Haltech is now selling a slightly cheaper sensor that you should be able to use with the Zeitronix, but it's still not cheap. Unless you can somehow find one in a junkyard and get it out of there for cheap.

Baller cars usually datalog fuel pressure and oil pressure as you race also, since often a failure or under performance in one of those systems ends up taking out a motor and there is no good way to tell after the fact unless something obvious like 1 of your 2 fuel pumps stopped working.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Did alittle more research and the gauge it self sells for $199 and the sensor $349.
How you mean Shane, go punk one out from a Flex Fuel Tahoe or something?
I think this gauge is the Shiznit and was talking to my dad about it and well he thinks I'm crazy for sticking with E85 but for the powa I want I don't think it would be a bad investment seeing which stations carry good E85.

lol, whatever you got to tell yourself to get thru it. :cheer:

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Or you could just get the $10 test tube and test it when you fill up...

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Sure you could, but thats boring and work :)

Next year I plan to get the new tablet from evoscan and working on logging ethanol content, fuel pressure and oil pressure. Won't be cheap but it will be awesome for checking health of the motor and/or fuel system.

But yes, easy way is just get the tube but its not super accurate but enough to know if you have shit E85.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Sounds messy, and plus who wants to be known as the tuner with a bunch of test tubes in their ride.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

accurate enough to tell the difference between e85/e78/e70. It sure as shit would be able to tell you if you have e48.

It's either that or cry like a seventeen year old girl that just got dumped 9hrs before prom.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Ahhh!!! Well played sir, lol

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Exactly.

I think the Haltech ethanol sensor is $100 less than the GM one.

holy crap, nice windows

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Update on the Evo. Stroker kit just showed up a few days ago and was sent with the block in inline to a machine shop to get going on it. The head is just about done and things are moving along.

Re: EVOJ's 03 Evo VIII build
 

Very nice. I'm looking forward to tail lights next time. ;)
