Pre-Assembly

  1. Locate the bracket, ethanol sensor and m4 screws.

  2. On the back side of the sensor you can (but don’t need to) remove the backing from the double-sided tape. It’s main function is to cushion the sensor against the bracket rather than hold it in place, so it’s up to you.

  3. Position the sensor with the strap onto the bracket with the wiring connector facing upwards. Then screw it in from the back side using a 4mm Allen.

  4. Install the fuel pressure sensor into the fuel pressure sensor adapter using the provided thread sealer. It’s advised that the pointy retaining bump on the connector faces towards the large barbed end.


Gateway and Ethanol Sensor Mounting

  1. Park your car in a flat level area.

  2. With your car running, remove the fuel pump fuse and leave the car idling until it dies (this may take a while.) This should depressurize the fuel system to minimize the amount of fuel spilled.

  3. Jack your car up and support it properly, you’ll need to get under it for step 16.

  4. On the passenger’s side of the engine bay Locate the fuel line underneath the strange aluminum AC line loop. It should have a black retaining clip over the line.

  5. On the end towards the front of the car,gently spread out the curved legs of the clip, this should release it from the fitting on the fuel line, and then it can be removed from the car.

  6. Using your fingers or a flat bladed screwdriver, pull out the flat center portion of the blue clip to release the soft fuel line. It’s a good idea to have a cloth or absorbant pad there to catch any drips.

  7. Repeat this process at the other end of the fuel line near the intake manifold.

  8. Squeeze the tabs of the fuel line retainingbracket soit can be removed from the car.

  9. Install the two standoffs onto the two studs sticking out from your firewall on the passenger’s side (above where the fuel line comes out)

  10. Install the bracket with ethanol content sensor onto the car, use the two provided m8 nuts to secure it with a 12mm wrench.

    vbff-9.jpg


  11. Using the two provided bolts, install the gateway onto the bracket with a 12mm socket.
    Plug the ethanol content sensor harness (brown connector) into one of the bottom two Sensor ports on the gateway and loop the harness down and around from the back of the bracket and up onto the ethanol content sensor. The bracket has two vertical slits on the gateway side you can slip a zip tie through to secure the harness.

  12. Take the fuel line with two 90° fittings on it. One end has a smaller opening than the other. The smaller end will go over the factory fuel feed line on the car side, and the larger opening will go to the top port of the ethanol content sensor. You can then zip tie the hose to the brake lines nearby.

  13. Install the fuel pressure adapter onto the engine side of the fuel line. Then hook the smaller end of the other fuel line (straight fitting) onto the adapter.

    vbff3-31.jpg


  14. The other large 90° end of the fuel line will go to the bottom port of the ethanol content sensor.

    vbff3-46.jpg


  15. Plug in the long vehicle harness for the gateway to the top port of the gateway and screw it down. The harness can get routed behind the two wiring harnesses and down into the engine bay following the brake lines.

  16. From underneath the car, locate the AC drain hose on the passenger’s side and remove the grommet.

  17. Push the small connector end up into the hole above the drain line, then slip the hose into the large opening in the grommet on the harness. Then push the grommet into place on the firewall making sure the edges are evenly grabbing the metal. The grommet is deliberately placed on the harness to minimize any water intrusion, do not slide it up or down the harness.

  18. In the passenger compartment, gently pull back the carpeting in the passenger’s footwell near the center of the car. You should see the wiring coming out. Route it up behind the center console and dash near the stereo.

Factory Gateway Bypass Installation

  1. In order to add signal onto the CAN BUS of the car (and not mess with important functions like brakes or steering) we added components to allow you to integrate into the factory CAN module.
