1hourflex:
 Conversion Unit, Ignition mapper, and cold start system.

From their home page:

Flexing an automobile (or the process of allowing it to run on alcohol as well) is not as simple as it looks. There are a lot of technicalities such as:
 

Kind of fuel injector connector
Number of cilinders
Year, Brand, Model
O2 Sensor Type

Even after, an improperly done conversion might still bring problems such as corrosion, misfirings, and fuel increase, thereby cancelling whatever benefits alcohol could bring.

And this is when we bring:

Experience
Alkol Inc brings over 30 years of technical experience in a complete solution that takes away all that hassle from the customer: "1-Hour Flex™" conversion system for cars. The 1HourFlex allows any fuel-injected car to run on any amount of alcohol or gasoline, thereby saving money and installation time. The system can also be installed by the customer himself using the easy to understand instruction manuals.

Performance
The 1HourFlex is also the only system in the market that also remaps the timing of the engine, thereby incresasing considerably the engine´s response and therefore the savings alcohol brings.

Dan will appreciate the gas tank for cold starting: http://www.1hourflex.com/#fueltank

The video is a hoot, about the worst I've ever seen: http://www.1hourflex.com

I like the fact that "not taking into consideration any fuel difference consumption between E85 and gasoline", you can save about $15,90 per month. http://www.1hourflex.com/#moresavings

Interesting how they use a module to adjust the timing. "In fact, alcohol demands higher compression rates than gasoline to function properly, and this can only be achieved thru a remap of the timing spark plugs fire (exactly what this device does), or thru a complete remake of the engine. Cars flexed without taking this into consideration are subject to sudden loss of power that can be even dangerous when acceleration is required."

I couldn't find the exact page, but there's mention of monitoring the oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) to adjust the mixture or timing. No price posted yet.
