I have been thinking of trying the voltage booster on my 044, rather than going twin pumps and putting more heat into the fuel. ( its already an issue on long drives.)

Anyone seen good results from them? How much more would i get out the fuel pump ifbits close to max flow now?

i have run a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump since 2004. i find it an easy way to solve the fuel flow challenge of our thirsty motors. especially nice as it only juices the pump while in boost.

given the rotary needs about 30% more air to make similar output to a piston motor, it also needs 30% more fuel. in addition, it needs to run on the rich side at higher power levels and then there's E85 which requires 30 to 40% more fuel.

there are many ways to get it done and most work. you can do multiple pumps, or one monster pump or swap in what is currently the best 21st century single intank pump, the Walbro 9000262 (gas) or 9000267 (E85).

if you are approaching 600 rw on E85 the Walbro may be marginal.

at 13.5 V the pump makes 389 L/H

at 16.0 it makes 568!!!!!!! more than enough for more than 600 on E85.

at 16 V the pump is happy BTW.

of course life can't be that simple. Kenne Bell just changed their BAP to a 17 V minimum... which is too much for the pump.

/////////update: the 13.5 V base model is back by popular demand, see post 11 in this thread/////////////////

other than an FYI on this i would like to ask the board, someone who knows electricity better than me...

would it be feasible to run the BAP at 17 V and add some sort of resistor so as to end up at 16.0? if so please add the specifics.

up to how many volts can the walbro e85 pump run safely ? I thought 14.4v was the limit

I coppied the above from rx7 forum. Intersting that the walbro 460 will flow 568 l/hr compared to 389 l/hr at 13.5volt

Walbro 460 and id2000's

Not sure on injector duty

They would have plenty left u like the pump...

Ive been thinking of trying a walbro, but not sure they flow much more than the 044 at high pressures.

What power are you at with your set up and are you having fuel shortage issues with the pump/ fuel line size?

448kw @ 24.5psi on caltex eflex (E70)

Pump is at it's safe max limit

I rekon lines can flow more if I had more fuel flow

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
