Dorch Engineering CAN-Based Flex Fuel ECA Kit

True Flex Fuel Integration for Gen 1 B58 Engines


🚀 Unlock Seamless Flex Fuel Capability with Zero Guesswork

With MHD and Bootmod3 (BM3) now offering native CANbus Flex Fuel support for Gen 1 B58 platforms, Dorch Engineering proudly introduces a fully plug-and-play ECA solution that delivers precise ethanol content readings directly to the DME. No Bluetooth modules. No math. No flash switching. Just real-time, automatic tuning adjustments — on the fly.


💡 What Makes This Kit Different?

This isn’t just an ethanol sensor. It's a direct CAN integration kit that communicates live with the DME, enabling your Flex Fuel tune to automatically blend between pump gas, full E85, or anything in between — with no user intervention required. From daily driving to full-send pulls, the DME will dynamically adjust fueling, timing, and boost for the best possible performance and safety.


🔧 Truly Plug and Play Installation

  • ZERO cutting

  • ZERO wire taps

  • Fully reversible

  • OEM-level fit and finish
    The Dorch ECA kit integrates directly into the factory wiring harness and fuel system. All OEM insulation and covers can be reinstalled for a factory-clean look. With the ethanol sensor positioned as close to the injectors as possible, this setup ensures instantaneous ethanol readings for maximum accuracy.

📦 Installation Time:

  • Add ~30 minutes to an HPFP install

  • Or ~1 hour standalone install (DIY-friendly with detailed instructions)
