Flex Fuel Sensors

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys,

I have been searching around about what sensors people were using on their flex setups.

It seems that a lot of people have had good time using the GM sensor (Part ID: 13577394)

I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on where they have purchased these, they seem to range dramatically in price depending where you are sourcing them from.

Can something like the following be trusted? (location is china)

From what I understand I will need the following harness as well.

I would love peoples thoughts or even links to where they sourced theirs from because I can see some places like Haltech sell them for $100+

As well as Zeitronix selling them for $179

Im running a Haltech one in mine. I think it was around $100... can't remember

From what I can tell reading other threads, it seems the Haltech is just a rebranded GM unit, so you're paying a lot for the brand name.

Online it's around the $200 mark actually so far more than these ebay ones.

I just don't want to skimp on something so crucial but also don't want to make the mistake of paying through the roof for a rebranded part.

Hopefully a few guys will jump in here and link me to their ebay purchases they were happy with or something else.

I bought a Haltech one for the evo, just so I know it plugs straight in with no issues, but I am in the market for one to put in the Stagea, heading down the Link Fury path at this stage with flex.

Anything I find in the US is crazy expensive with shipping since the dollar is shite. I might just buy the Link one.

[Manuel Kasko]

I'm running an adaptronic so can't go the Link Fury.

But you can pick up the wiring harnesses pretty cheap for the GM units so shouldn't be too hard to connect up.

Just don't want to find the ones coming out of china ebay are cheap copies.

If someone has a link to where they got it previously then that would be ideal.

A few people on other threads have suggested that they have just purchased them off ebay for around $60

Quality post, doesn't help though unfortunately

I already did the research and know the one needed but just unsure on where to source a trusted one outside of the Haltech or Zeitronix branded ones

[scotty nm35]

Same old story, buying from a trusted source or playing the ebay gamble to save yourself a 50. Not worth importing one from the US at the moment, so unless there is someone with old local stock I wouldn't bother.

I know a manufacturer with plenty of stock locally, they don't use them anymore.

Hit me up

Ebay would be saving me like $150 but still as you said it's a risk

Holden mate, I doubt they will need to hang on to their stock for much longer, and they aren't using them anymore.

Yeah I know that's the one needed

Have you got a link where I can purchase these from though?

Also the harness or plug that goes with it?

Be very careful buying cheap Ethanol Content Sensors......we tested some that were bought in from Asia that were supposed to be genuine, and even had the correct markings and branding, but the readings were all over the show!

The ones we have come from Europe and are the genuine article

Cheers for the link, it's nice to see that these come with the plug and also some nice fittings.

Shipping is a nice price as well.

Holden mate, I doubt they will need to hang on to their stock for much longer, and they aren't using them anymore.

Do you know the part number from Holden? I've often wondered if they would stock them but wasnt real sure of the part number and havent found time to go and ask about it. Or is it the same as the part number mentioned in the first post?

could hit up a wrecking yard and pull one off a smashed E85 commo

You can buy the Conti one from Matt @ Nistune. He uses them on the new flex setups.

[Manuel Kasko]

Thanks guys

Super helpful and cheers status for the link. Have you purchased from that seller before?

I'll also see what Matt's price is

Also if you dont use a haltech flex sensor with there ecu etc voids warranty
