COBB Flex Fuel Kits allow compatible Subaru platforms to safely run and adapt to varying ethanol blends by providing the ECU with real-time ethanol content data. This enables dynamic tuning across fuels such as pump gas, E30, and E85 while maintaining proper fueling and engine protection. Below you’ll find available COBB Flex Fuel Kits and related components for WRX and STI applications. Fitment varies by model year and engine type, and most setups require custom tuning along with supporting fuel system upgrades.

COBB Flex Fuel Kit FAQ
Do I need custom tuning after installing a flex fuel kit?
Yes. A flex fuel kit gives the ECU real-time ethanol content data, but the tune itself has to be built to use that data. Most setups pair the kit with an Accessport and a custom map from a qualified tuner to adjust fueling and timing safely across blends.
What's the difference between the NEXGEN sensor kit and a full CAN kit?
The NEXGEN ethanol sensor kit adds flex fuel monitoring to an existing setup. The CAN Flex Fuel Upgrade kits include the sensor along with the wiring and fuel pressure components needed for a complete install on supported model years.
Can I still run pump gas after installing a flex fuel kit?
Yes. Flex fuel systems are built to handle a range of blends, from pump gas up through E85, and the ECU adjusts fueling based on live sensor data rather than requiring one fixed fuel type.
Does a flex fuel kit affect reliability on a stock WRX or STI fuel system?
Higher ethanol blends put more demand on fuel delivery. On builds pushing past stock power levels, a flex fuel kit is often paired with supporting fuel system upgrades such as injectors or a fuel pump to keep up with the added demand safely.
