- Finally! The installation of the ACES Killshot is complete. This video will cover the majority of the installation including the last remaining bits of the FiTech Mini install that was not completed in my previous video. I’ll be going over a bunch of things but also including extras like loctite selection, problems with the included coolant temp sensor and issues I had with the clamp on O2 bung. In my next and last video I’ll be covering the priming of the FiTech Mini Force Fuel boost pump, how I set up the Killshot ECU with the Wizard and the first run of the ACES Killshot system. For now, though, this video should be pretty in depth and step by step of what is required for the Killshot.
If I can suggest one thing, take your time. Don’t rush this install. Read the instructions thoroughly and do a good job. You will have spent a lot of money on this to screw it up. If you have questions reach out to someone and don’t forget there is an ACES Owners and Techs Facebook page you can join for help as well. I hope this has been helpful to some of you and will help you make up your mind on whether to purchase one of these kits or not. I’ve added time stamps to help you find sections you want to see or skip the things you don’t but I’ve tried to lay out the video in a fairly straightforward way that should probably be best if watched straight through.
Thanks for spending your time with me.

Great step by step. Video.
Thanks dude. I appreciate it. It was a real learning experience and was quite fun. I just hope at least a few people find them useful
I am installing a Killshot on my 66 Chevelle with a 396 motor. I liked where you put the Fuel Pressure Sensor, in a fitting where the rubber fuel line goes in to the TBI. I looked for such a fitting in my kit, but don’t see it. Is it something you bought extra? If so, where did you get it? I have watched your videos several times and appreciate the great job installing everything. I too am a retired Aircraft Mechanic, so I can see that the great effort installing paid off in the long run
@jacklo2801 Thanks for the kind words. Always nice to meet another A&P. I actually got a free ACES fuel pressure kit sku number AF2009P from them through a promotional giveaway they do every so often. But you can find similar adapters in Amazon for about 20 bucks. They are male to female fuel pressure sensor T's. I just can't remember if it's a 4AN or 6AN. A company called AFATEBOX is selling one on Amazon for 15 bucks in size 6AN. They titled the item "6AN Fuel Pressure Take Off Fitting 6 AN Male to Female with 1/8 NPT Gauge Port Hose Adapters Aluminum Black" hope that helps you out.
@@dc10tech911 Thanks so much for the help. I ordered one and that's one less obstacle out of the way.
Watching your install of the Aces FI. Looking good! You asked why metric bolts? Everything in the kit is sourced and made in China. They are not going to put SAE bolts in the kit. Just saying. All of retro-fit FI systems are made in China not just Aces. Just to be clear. (I worked as an A&P for a on business jets at an FBO. I got too old to stay in the profession but had a blast. The hell hole in smaller jets is tight, cramped, dark, and just nasty. I did find a few tools though. A huge No No as a lot of exposed items in there!!)
Would that it weren't so.... my classic is becoming a real mismatch of SAE and metric. Yuck! Ah a fellow A&P. I've spent plenty of time inside tight hell holes. 😆 even got trapped inside a tight space for 6 hours because i got snagged before someone came looking and found me. Ah the joys of aviation
you were lucky they didn't use green LOCTITE which requires heat to release it's grip.
Aces EFI
You seriously over thought the O2 sensor placement. You only need to install it in the top half of the pipe to keep condensation from sitting on the sensor.
LOL... I'm an aircraft mechanic... I'm used to following manuals... it's kinda how I roll. We don't do things in half measures. Then again I'm not having any of the problems others are. I wanted to make sure I covered all my bases. These videos actually started as a cover my butt in case it didn't work right because of the pounding the kit took during shipping. I wanted to have proof that it wasn't me that caused the system to fail.
