New VB WRX Flex Fuel Parts & Packages

COBB CAN FLEX FUEL UPGRADE SUBARU WRX 2022-2024

The COBB CAN Gateway Flex Fuel Upgrade offers true plug-and-play installation and allows for seamless integration of flex fuel for the VB WRX.

CAN Gateway
The included COBB CAN Gateway provides the means for aftermarket sensor data to be injected into your car’s CAN system where it can be absorbed by the ECU and utilized in either a COBB Off The Shelf Map or custom calibration. The Gateway itself is constructed of billet aluminum encasing a precision manufactured PCB. The included bracket allows for a straight-forward bolt-in installation on supported cars.

Vehicle Specific Harness
Each CAN Gateway Kit includes a vehicle specific wiring harness. This specific kit is compatible with 2022-2024 WRXs. It consists of a cable that runs into the cabin and utilizes our CAN adapter which allows integration to be a plug-and-play affair. Installation of this component requires removal of your car’s Radio/Cockpit Control Unit.

CAN Ethanol Sensor Kit
The CAN Ethanol Sensor Kit includes an ethanol sensor with mounting bracket, fuel lines with quick connect fittings, and a wiring harness that connects to the CAN Gateway.

E85 Refers to a fuel with 85% ethanol content, vs standard pump fuel (91,93 etc) which typically has a 10% ethanol content. Power output between 91 and 93 octane tunes will become the same as ethanol content goes above a certain point.

Installing the CAN Gateway, Ethanol Content Sensor, and Fuel Pressure Sensor is straight forward.  That said, it does include some steps that are a small departure from previous COBB Flex Fuel Kits.  In order to tap into the WRX’s CAN network the included Vehicle Harness must be run through the firewall and behind dashboard.
