BNR Flex Fuel Kits AVAILABLE NOW

[BNRacing]

BNR is proud to announce that our flex fuel kits are finally available for your Sonic 1.4T!

BNR Sonic 1.4T Flex Fuel Kit

 

[2014 Blue RS]

Wait, do I need this to run E85?

 

[rdss]

You do not need it to run E85. But, if you want to be able to run 87, then E85, then 93, then back to E85 without having to push a new tune and make sure your tank is almost empty before switching grades then you will need this kit.

Any mix of fuels should work on the car. It will adjust accordingly

 

[BNRacing]

Exactly. This is so you can mix and match whatever % of ethanol you want and not have to retune.

 

[Blue Moon Sonic]

So, would I be able to buy this kit without the injectors and tune? I already have both the EFI tune and the injectors, and only would need the flex fuel sensor, wiring harness and
fuel line.

You'll have to get retuned for this; the ECM wont know to look for the sensor without being retuned.

if he's already tuned through EFI live with Jerry Kinney @ BNR, he's already paid for the tuning service and will not have to again, there is a drop down that gives you the option for already being tuned by them which saves you $550.

 

[BNRacing]

Yes, if you are already BNR tuned and already have the injectors, just PM here or on facebook and we'll work out a price for only what you need.

Thanks BNR, I decide to pop on here after lunch at work to see if anything new has come out for the sonic to plan for once my warranty is up in the next 1-1.5 years.

I went full boner at my desk about flex fuel.

I'll have to keep this in mind in the spring when I replace the engine. Thank you for the info. :banana:

It's just a hair over 2k with overnight shipping from where I'm at. I just don't have a hoist or a cherry picker, otherwise this would be a super simple swap and I could finally install my BNR lower trans mount, and possibly do the turbo kit before it all goes in. I also have to deal with a full brake system overhaul on my stang which also requires a wheel and tire upgrade in order to do the overhaul. It's not fun having multiple projects going on especially when your daily driver and race car swap places as the DD but are both project cars.

You drop the motor out of the bottom on these cars, no hoist required.

Put the car in stands and use jacks to lower it out.

I like the idea but I'd be a lot more confident about dropping the motor from the bottom if I put it on the lift and use a pallet jack to raise it in place. I'd also need to get an engine stand to put the old on on so I can tear it down.

 

[Big Turbo Sonic]

Anyone else been trying to order one of these for like two months? Are they really that back logged??

 

[JesusTheAgnostic]

I have indeed been waiting for a hot minute. Big Turbo, I don't know why you would be waiting though. You can't buy one unless you have a BNR tune, plus you can build your own. Check out, swordsmith's thread. I think that was his name.

They have agreed to sell me one and I technically do have a BNR tune for my old sonic. I know I can piece a kit together and probably for a lot cheaper, but I am one who just prefers to buy the kit ready to go. No headaces or bs.

However on a side note. I looked up the part number for the sensor or harness (I forget which it was) and it was a discontinued product.

 

[JesusTheAgnostic]

I feel the exact same way about putting it together. It's not just the Buick sensor, I think somebody used a continental sensor.
