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

    • 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.
