Will be using 2x400lph walbro pumps in my surge tank the new e85 set-up.. Can't give any feed back on them yet though the fella who's designing and building the tank reckons they are an awesome bit of kit.. Very well priced as well

I have a feeling I'm only going to need to run one pump though :D

I installed the E85 one in tank in my Gts-t RB25

All is well so far, tune in a few weeks. Easy to install, sucks a lot of power so make sure you have the appropriate wiring

Hey mate, i have one on the way. what did you do to beef up the wiring?

Slighty OT but im wondering if anyone has done anything to bypass the stock plugs intank on the lid?

I usually rewire the intank portion aswell as adding a relay and feed from the battery but it annoys me reusing the stock plugs and crusty old wiring to get throught the lid.

I added 2 posts with 5mm stainless threaded rod and a series washers and nuts to come through the stock plastic lid in a 33gtr. To seal it i used injector orings bellow the bottom washer and applied some pressure when tightening the nuts down. Could be worth trying RS components they might do a proper bulk head fitting to do the same thing.

I hope your upgrading your alternator if you plan on running 2 of these.

Hmmm will need to figure out the current draw for each pump and go from there.. Like I said I'll probs only use 1.. The other one is in there because the tank is a proto type and we wanted to run 2 to see how it goes

By my calculations one on 13.5V is enough to feed 1000cc injectors at 25psi boost (assuming base pressure of 3bar)

Considering that we usually run a touch higher than that voltage on our cars, they should be good for a bit over 600rwhp (on a Dyno Dynamics) on E85

At the following pump pressure on 13.5 volts it draws the following below, so double that if running 2 pumps. Thats a lot of current draw, even 1 pump is a fair amount of current draw.

at 50 psi - 14.88 amp

at 60 psi - 15.64 amp

at 70 psi - 16.45 amp

Righto cheers lads, I've messaged the guy whos putting it all together. I assume he's already figured all this out but it would be good to know how's it's going to peice together.. Will report back once I have the solution/ or when car is up and running

My bad, I'm talking about the big E85 one the F90000267 so it flows even more and also needs more juice to run... Mine should run about 18amps under load.

I have run 25amp wire, a 30amp circuit breaker and relay to mine so I should be ok. The only issue (as someone else has mentioned) is the stock lid of the fuel tank

circuit breakers are to protect the circuit, if youre running '25a' wire, your breaker should be under the rated cable size.

bumping an old topic,

hows everyones walbro 400lph holding up so far with E85?

also came across a newer "450lph" e85 version, any opinions on these?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Walbro-450-LPH-In-Tank-E85-High-Pressure-Fuel-Pump-Install-Kit-F90000267-/150845458543?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231f17086f

im assuming from what ive read here the 400lph one would suffice for around 380rwkw on e85?

Walbro F90000267 (416L/hr E85 rated one) tuned yesterday on my Green Gts-t...

No signs of running out of fuel and the 1200cc injectors were showing 75% duty which shows they can pump at least enough to outflow 900cc injectors (and should do a fair bit more). Fuel pressure was around 70psi on boost

Cheap, nice and quiet, easy to install. Only downside is they suck a lot of power so just make sure your wiring is up for it.

I would recommend these for all in tank installs instead of Bosch 044/040 or Nismo etc

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
