All New * Walbro * 460Lph E85 In-Tank Fuel Pump + Strainer Kit


Recommended Posts

So I've been asked by a few of you what makes this pump E85 compaible unlike others, here are two reasons;

A lot of pumps mainly BOSCH unit's are used with E85 today, in most cases there life cycle will be around 500hrs (w/ E85), these Walbro's have an expected lify cycle of 3000 hours (6x more)!

Secondly, if a pump design has exposed electrical terminals it is certailny not to be used with E85 fuel.

There are more but that's the two main ones.

Would there be issues getting the pump now at 280hp then down the track it wouldn't need changing when the car is doing around 400hp?

Hey!

I don't see any issues with that, only thing is in the short term the pump would be overkill for your set-up.

It would still function correctly.

dam i should have got it from you.
would have saved myself 20 bucks.
ah well.. :(
next time.

So anyone got any proof of this pump holding over 500hp would really like to know as i'm going to be borderline 500hp after my new setup goes on

Jem reckon 350kw is borderline for the pump so i'm real curious

Cheers

    • But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
    • Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
