I believe that AEM V2 and Infinity can decode both the composition and temperature data from the DPI signal from the sensor. Don't quote me on that, though.
I don't really see fuel temperature as a viable channel for data logging or observation, so not sure why you would even want to see it. IAT and EGT, sure... but fuel temp, I dunno.

I also used a gm/haltech sensor and piced together all the AN fittings misc parts to bring the total including the sensor to like $250 and i mounted it the sensor in the same spot as SOS

Depends on how good your ECU is. Fuel temp influences the flow rate of your injectors and pump. You can lose a lot of flow when the temp goes up. With a good ECU, you could possibly compensate for the loss of flow or turn down the power as required to ensure nothing bad happens.

Does Kpro 4 read the fuel temp and adjust for it as well?

My all time favorite mod I have ever done to any of my cars is making my turbo s2000 flex fuel compatable with the aem ems series 2. Boost and timing is all automatically adjusted and is dependent on the %of ethanol in the tank. My s2000 makes 442whp on 91 octane and 650whp on e85. It will make anything in between wether I run E40 or e60. No more switching maps or draining tanks of pump gas or e85 to switch fuels.
I have no idel why any anyone would buy the sos kit. I just bought the flex fuel sensor for $90 and you just put it in your fuel return line. I have been running it for years now with no issue.

Here's my experience with buying and installing a flex fuel setup on my SC'd S2000.
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/109...-e85flex-fuel/
I used the cheaper, smaller sensor from Pace Performance (13577429,13577429 - Fuel Composition (Flex Fuel) Sensor (E85)) and the mating wiring pigtail (13352241 - Flex Fuel (E85) Composition Sensor Harness) and sourced some hose barb fittings from Autozone on the cheap. It wasn't as pretty as the SOS kit but it was a lot cheaper and you can't see it when installed anyway.
To quote from my linked thread:
"All together I have $80 for the sensor and harness plug, $6 for the two adapter fittings, $12 (?) for some 100 psi fuel line, $180 for the Zeintronix ECA gauge, and I didn't pay for the wire from work. So let's call it $300 total. If I had an AEM v2 ECU (or the new Infinity) instead of the Haltech I wouldn't have *needed* the Zeintronix gauge, thus cutting the price by more than half."
Edit - Gotta say thanks again to riceball and all the others who have contributed info on E85, flex fuel, and the Zeintronix/GM sensor setup in the past.

OP: Are you talking about just the sensor/kit?
I am....
/// After reading about E85 Cold starting "troubles" in certain climates/seasons (winter), I actually figured it was used to manipulate timing and or fuel to help with that. Just my theory though.

I just installes the sensor and wired it to my aem infinity but it's not readint correxrly all it will say is. 01% i have no idea what im missing here the calibration data is pretty straightforward. Any ideas?
