And another one to break it out.

yeah it measures the ethanol content (Percentage) and outputs a square wave. The amplitude of the square wave is the fuel temperature and the frequency is the ethanol percentage... IIRC its 50Hz to 150Hz?

Anyway..below is where I put it. haven't made a bracket yet.

This part deserves more than one picture. It's a titanium mounting bracket that I made by hand. spent 3 hours on this badboy. I'll be sure to take a better picture.

I mounted my catch can finally. Fits well. Won't interfere with my 4" x 12" K&N filter air box in the driver's side bumper area.

Lines roughly routed. Sensors zip tied to firewall until I figure out how people mount these sensors the right way. Suggestions? Notice the T4 flange in space?

so does it compensate with fluctuating the IDC? adding more/less gas for the actual ethanol content?

The ECU map axes are user definable. I use the Ethanol Percentage to trim fuels, adjust ignition advance, and trim my boost target/wgdc.

Curious where you heard that because the inlet and outlet are pretty large. BTW, there is a cable array that runs horizontally along the firewall in a rectangular plastic box below the brake booster. I ziptied my sensor to the box. Great location, and its been going strong for several years now.

not sure if its accurate but i saw it here. ill be running 2 044's, the second will come on under high boost/load though.

Run the single 044 on a low voltage switch like the OEM evos... that's how I have mine setup.

Then my second pump triggers through the ECU and the relay. Then i won't overrun my regulator

Ernie. Did your ViPEC come just the board, then you had to take the stock ECU out of the case and replace it with the ViPEC?

Just asking, because the one for my MINI came in a case.


Don't mind the books their my wife's lol.

can the 044's be ran like that? i read that they dont like any kind of controller. maybe that was just the pwm kind.

If your secondary pump is boost activated then hypothetically overrunning the ECA sensor should be a non issue

well if it really only flows 200ltr/hr im in trouble if i dont step the pump down as an 044 flows appx. 300ltr/hr at 40psi.

Turn your base pressure up...reduce your pump volume... decrease your chance of running into a problem
