FiTronic Questions
I'm planning on purchasing the fitronic system. But I have a couple questions, hopefully those with it or those who are tuning it can answer....
1. You tune with 2 fuels and it auto adjusts to everything in between. Does this use up only one map in Tephra V7? Can I still have a race gas map on top of my 93-E85 map?
I probably don't need it, I just want to know if it's possible.
2. Does anyone have pics of their installs? Some like to DIY and sometging to reference would be nice.
3. My car is a weekend only car. And not every weekend at that. How long can e85 sit in a tank? Will it last longer mixed with 93?
Thanks in advance.

I'm curious as to how the map's work as well, but I guess I'll find out as Tom and I start tuning. If you ask Tom he'll E-mail you a set of installation instructions, but if you want to install pieces in different locations that's up to you. I think I saw someone installed their monitor where the factory clock, but most just put them on the steering column from what I've seen. As for the E85 I think the biggest concern is water buildup inside the tank after letting it sit for too long. If you're in a dry area you won't have as much to worry about

I run the system. I love it and am pleased that Tom talked me into it when I was talking with him about getting tuned. In my opinion the system was some of the best money I have spent on the car.
1) I believe that it takes up both map spots in the ECU.
2) I don't have any pics of me installing it but can get some installed pics later today.
3) My car is a weekend car as well. I wouldn't worry about the E-85 sitting unless it will be sitting for at least a few weeks. That said I always try to get as close as possible to 91 before I plan to leave it sit for a few weeks.
If you have any more questions let me know.

E85 can sit for a long period of time if the tank is sealed properly. Ive known people to run 1 year old e85. They didnt tune on it, but from a drivability standpoint, they couldnt tell the difference. (They did not have a content analyzer.)
I thought Tom was the only one selling this unit? Who else is providing it?

Sorry it took an extra day to get some pictures; work has been busy as hell. If you have any questions about what is there let me know.
****ty picture of the display. it looks better in person. ethanol content on the left and fuel temp (in C) on the right
top view of the sensor mounted to my firewall. I made the lines at the auto parts store. They are GM 3/8" push-loc's
convertor box mounted in behind my glovebox. One wire to the ecu, 12v constant, 12v switched, ground, a harness to the sensor and a harness to the display.

Getting a hold of Tom will become increasingly easier since he has cleared out a lot of his back fill! I would recommend hitting up him or McCarty Porting on Facebook they respond to that fast
