step 4: preparing for installation

A few things to consider before getting started:

Low Impedance Info

Prior to Installation, the resistance of an injector must be checked.  The ohms must read at least 10ohms.  Anything below that may cause problems.  Currently this issue is with our Research and Development Team in it's final phase and should be resolved within the next few weeks.  If low impedance is an issue with your vehicle , please sign up for updates. and we will notify you by email when this has been resolved

Polarity Inverter Kit info

There are a few models of cars that leave the factory with the polarity of the connector terminal injection plug reversed. Before installation, the terminals polarity must be verified.  You will need a Polarity Inverter Kit if you have polarity issues.

It is critical to verify the polarity, otherwise the converter can cause burning of injection plugs! 

E85 Flex Fuel Engine Preparation Kit

ENGINE PROTECTION MUST BE ADDED TO CLEAN CRANKCASE OIL AND DRIVEN WITH 2 TANKS FULL OF GASOLINE BEFORE RUNNING VEHICLE ON ETHANOL.

Protects against the acids produced by E85 fuel!  Treat your Vehicle with our proprietary formula before changing over to E85. Improves horsepower and engine performance, Reduces emissions, fuel and oil consumption, Cleans the fuel delivery system. (Included with the purchase of each kit)

Fuel Injectors / Spark Plugs

It is not necessary to change the original injectors or spark plugs prior to installation.  We recommend that you have them checked to ensure that they are in proper working order.

Fuel Filter

It is not necessary to change the original filter for installation.
However, alcohol has a tendency to clean the impurities from the fuel tank and these impurities become trapped in the fuel filter. We suggest replacing your fuel filter 30-60 days after changing from gasoline to E85.

Fuel Pump

Some fuel pumps on the market are more resistant to ethanol usage than others.  We recommend having a qualified professional determine if your fuel pump should be replaced with one that's more compatible with alcohol.

O2 Sensors

O2 Sensors should be in proper operating condition oscillating between 50 and 950 mill volts.
