If you buy a genuine Walbro you should have no issues, it's the knock offs causing the confusion.

I have twin 255's intank and have been running them for years on e85 without a problem. These days I would go for the e85 416L version just for the sealed plug and the fact they are designed for long term ethanol use.

I wonder if my Nismo pump will last long term on ethanol. I haven't heard anything bad yet about the e85 walbro pumps so they must be a good upgrade from the standard pump.

Nismo over engineer their things, im sure they would have had race gases similar to E85 being tested with the pump during their their RnD. Im slapping mine in soon hope it lasts.

Since this discussion is ongoing...I'd like to pose a question...

How much power roughly do you think a single Sard 280LPH intank pump would support on a 2JZ?

I'm at 325rwkw atm on eflex but I'm thinking of turning the wick up alittle more...

In regards to the Nismo pump, I'm running one on e85 with no problems at all. I stayed away from your standard Walbro pump just from the fact that they have a higher tendency to fail. I know a few guys who have had problems after a period of time.

I've heard this too. So i was never convinced the walbro were perfect little gems to begin with. Thats why I had no problems deciding to give This is the "fake" walbro pump a go as well

They claim 340L/PH. I"m not sure if anyone has verified it. I did get a genuine 255 too. Didn't notice any difference in the way the car ran between the two.

Anyway I will think about cleaning the injectors, or possibly buy another set for not much more than clean. Boost is staying low for now.

Can anyone extract any data out of the spark plugs?

Red spark plugs? hmmm.

I would be curious to know as well. I will try and squeeze every kw out of my nismo pump before I need to move on :)

What's generally the limit i.e. maximum power for the nismo pumps?

RHD says 550ps and im sure it will get there and probably over.

regarding the walbro 450lph E85 fuel pumps....what power have people made with these and at what boost (psi)? have we found the limit of these pumps yet??

They are rated @ 450lph @ 0-30psi... A stock RB fuel rail runs a higher base pressure than that :whistling:

Once you get them to 60-70psi (which is what most people will be running), the flow drops to under 400lph, maybe even 360lph - I saw the rating graph from Walbro 450l a few weeks back but for the life of me i can't find it right now.

Gotta love the online retailers at the moment claiming they will support "900hp on a turbo set-up", maybe if you used two they would.

Haha exactly right

I'm running one getting 13.8volts, with my base pressure at 55psi and 26psi boost it made 410rwkw on e85,

Obviously lower and or stock rail pressure and lower boost will net more flow

I have been recommended by quite a few knowledgeable tuners recently to bump up my base pressure, (I am running 40 psi with the hose off) The bosch ev14's apparently spray a beautiful mist at 90-100psi but there aren't any intank pumps out there that flow much at such high pressures, certainly not the 255 twins I have currently.

To test my theory (more pressure = finer mist = better power and economy) I would need a large mechanical gear pump off the fuel cell, I am thinking one of these Magnafuel external pumps which are rated up to 120psi.

Might be time to ditch the twin intanks I think.

Yep injectors needed abit of help and also idles better so maybe the higher pressure is atomizing better?

My next step besides cams cos my stockers are holding me back would be 2000cc injectors and maybe a fuel lab external pump

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
