I am finishing the install on my harness and have a question. In the set of wires that goes to the dash, what is the wire marked "brake" for? I figure asking here may get a faster response than from Fitech.

Really?? That simple? It all just clips in? Humm, That sounds really good!!
My plan is all over the board. Lol!! But this, at least sounds super simple.
Thanks for the good news and fast info!!
+1 for the FiTech.

I can’t take the car out. Doing small things to it now like swapped out my trans temp gauge for a new speed hut. Swapping from 5 pt harness to an OE grant 4 pt etc. I won’t be able to get any seat time till spring so it’s just a waiting game now. Currently it’s like 10*F out and windchill makes like like -9. I haven’t been starting it or anything due to the low temps.

So is everybody happy with this system?? For the most part anyway?? I'm thinking of getting one for my 3rd gen camaro. My setup is gonna be kinda basic iron 370 forged bottom end, cnc'd LS9 heads 80mm turbo around 18-20 psi, 4l80e 3600 stall converter. I've got a couple questions for those with them, can they be used with any injector?? I'm gonna be running Holley 120# low impedance. And how is the fuel pump triggered in this system?? Can I tie into my stock relay like I've done on my previous Holley system? I'm gonna be running racetronix dual 340 pumps with one triggered by a 7 psi Hobbs switch. On the transmission side is there a way to increase line pressure thru the software?? The system seems like a steal of a deal a hell of a lot cheaper than the Holley hp units Thanks for the replies guys.

Yah I really liked my Holley setup ended up selling it with the last motor, trans and rear end as a whole package to get a big jump on my LS build. I'll just stick with what I already know is great

Up to u. The Holley is a good unit and has lots of testing and good service. FItech is still new and tech/service is pretty bad. The hp units to be boost capable and all the add ons needed will be like 2k but there are limits. Holley will more than likely tell you to upgrade to a dominator system which is like 2k just for the PCM and like 500 or more for th harness. If you don’t have all the parts for the build you can get high impediance injectors for cheap. Just about every OEM is not using low impediance anymore... that’s old school. Either way you can get 80lb Dekas for like $300. I just got some barely used Deka 60lb for like $200. 60lb is actually 72lb at LS fuel pressure and will support about 800hp. 80lb will support more obviously. I wouldn’t count the FItech stuff out yet. Some guys have been in the 8s and 9s with it. It’s really not that difficult, spark and fuel with a map sensor. I think that if FItech can do it for this cheap and still make money than Holley and fast etc are overcharging. I’ve used fast before and the stuff quality wise seems the same.

By the way I run the FItech on my 87 TA and have no real complaints. Once getting it all setup and knowing what do, it has worked fine for starting and idling etc. haven’t taken the car out tho bc it’s winter here. The system is super easy to install and it’s a basic system that does boost. You won’t get meth control etc which is fine. Like your doing with the 2nd fuel pump, simple pressure switches is how i like it. Fuel pump is just like OEM, single relay activation.

The Fitech is a good system. I would and have recommended it to a lot of people, but for someone with a good turbo and good engine will not be able to use it because if the limitation of its abilities to drive bigger injectors.

Installed my 70051 kit set my idle and fan turn ons. But my question revolves around the trans controller. Does something need to be programed in the controller or is there a default setting that starts you out. I see setting that I can program that seem easy enough to understand except for the block that talks about the different line pressures at 10,30,60TPS no idea what they want when the range is -40 to 90? Any suggestion even your setting you used. I can tailor it to by needs. Thank for any help or direction

I agree. If you have a good turbo and a good engine your most likely not going to go with a budget minded EFI system. The market for the Fitech system is for the average guy on a budget with a budget build/junk yard motor with medium boost. I mean 120lb injectors are good for ALOT of power, more than 90% will see or ever need to make.

I need to further clarify something on the topic of o2 sensors for myself, I have the 70050 kit and it does come with 1 sensor designated for the drivers side. The harness has provisions for a second passenger side o2 plug with this type of yellow connector.
On an earlier post around 80 someone listed Bosch o2 sensor # 17014 as being the one to use.....is it for the yellow pass. side? Connector looks a bit different?
Any help would be appreciated, tks.
