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.

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.

Exactly.

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