Usually 24 hours or so. Got in to the 5s for my 60-130 with cooler weather. 7.0 was the fastest before on the straight it’s e30 map

I’ll be at the 1/4 track on Saturday… did 10.2 last time in 104° weather… should be a little cooler

I seem to be getting responses (once every 48 business hours)… how many revisions before you were complete?

I did 93 octane up to e70 (we tried e85 but that was too much as expected)
May 28th through July 20th… there were times I wasn’t the fastest at getting logs back because of work trips. I usually got a revision around 10:30a CST and sent over the log by noon then got the revision the next day around the same time

I'm in Orlando as well, my shop is working with Paul on my E tune. In the same boat as you, waiting for revisions after logging. Hope to have a good file by the end of this week.

For those who installed the flex fuel engine bay version of the BM3 kit did it include the hpfp fitting shown below? My kit is missing this piece and when I reached out to pro tuning freaks they said the s58 engine version doesn’t include a hpfp fitting but their instructions and video all show the fitting for the engine bay version so

Anyone ever get any insight to this guy's question?

I just got my BM3 Flex Fuel Kit (I have a G87), and I'm confused as to how this installs. As others have said, the Supra is vastly different from my car and this kit has one fuel line with two female ends and the sensor body which has two male ends. Every video I've seen on installing a sensor shows two male fuel line ends in the car with female pieces attaching to both ends. This kit only has one female end piece.

The other thing that strikes me as weird is that all of the marketing claims that the logic board has an aluminum enclosure with 4 screws. Mine came with a plastic enclosure that just clips together. I can't even really tell if I have all the parts I'm supposed to have.

Are there any instructions anywhere on the internet for installing the engine bay kit in a G8x car?

proTUNING Freaks Can you guys help?

How are you guys depinning that wire? The video doesn't really show what's happening. Do you have to just push down the top of the pin from the top of the connector with a pick tool and pull the wire out the back?

Yeah there is a little stopper you have to push down to allow it to slide back and through the connector. You can do it with a pick, just a bit annoying lining everything up. I scuffed up the plastic a bit w a pin, but all went well. Depinning tool makes things easier.

1. BM3 license - $600
2. Femto unlock - 700 euro plus shipping to/from Finland
3. BM3 Flex fuel kit - $600

You can do all the work by yourself and save a few bucks or pay a shop to do it all.

Finally getting around to installing my BM3 Ethanol sensor (the one that goes on top of the fuel hat).

The video is for a g80, hopefully my G82 has all the places to hide the wire as well.

Yes you can run the wire down the passenger side as shown in my youtube short video

If you aren’t using the fitting it seems like there is a lot of extra fuel line now. Just looking for clarification as well. Disconnect the fitting from the hard line coming off the hpfp, installing the provided line, then the sensor, then to the existing one line?

You don’t use the fitting. That’s for GEN2 B58. On the S58 you just hoop the line to the HPFP, simple.

Thank you. Your video helped me on the actual positioning of the sensor. It's such a damn tight fit...is this how the g80 install is as well? Its so snug it almost didn't feel like it was going to sit in there at all...then I referenced your video (thanks for that)
