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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
