E85 Fuel System Build-Up

[boostn0199]

I'd go a deatschwerks fuel pump over a walbro... any day.

Don't use efi hose for e85- you need something teflon lined/rated for alcohol.

For the extra money, I still choose ID injectors over the standard bosch items.

He doesnt need teflon or braided hose the efi hose is fine many ppl are running it without problem. Ive got the stock hoses for last 2 yeArs e85 no problem. Its only worth going teflon if your got a hatch boot and smell is an issue or he has extra coin but it is not a necessity.

I remember reading about cheap injectors here -

Thanks, 34 but I don't think I'd be able to get my head around that haha.

I've seen the deatschwerks pumps, but why go that over a walbro?

And I've been told by a few people I need new lines, and then by a few I don't... Hmmmm

Yeah at the moment I'm leaning towards just going id1000's

[scotty nm35]

Definitely go with the Bosch 1000's.

The Deatschwerks is well worth the extra $60. Make sure its hard wired with decent cable as they draw 15-20 amps.

Your lines will be fine for years, if they ever go hard and brittle its time to swap them or upgrade to Teflon.

There is now a Walbro 416l/hr pump designed for E85, at 70psi fuel pressure it's big enough to feed 1000cc injectors...

I got my ID 1000cc injectors for $570 from the US when the dollar was a bit stronger. Think it was from real street performance.

[GTR260]

I rate real street performance! Bought a fee things off them now! Good service and usually good price! Shipping rates are good too!

is there much feedback on them?

[slippylotion]

Im going that walbro 400lph E85 pump. The current walbro 255lph I have has been faultless for the 7 yrs it's been in, even ran it with E85 for nearly a year with no problems. I just need more fuel now to keep it safe.

That Walbro option looks cheaper and easier than the 044 option I opted for...

the 400lph cannot tolerate E85.. there are some components in the pump that will wear with e85.. hence why they brought out the 416lph.. im trying to find somewhere local that may have it. perhaps Aznu?

[slippylotion]

Well I've only seen it listed as 400+lph, so splitting hairs. The part number you/I want ends in 267 for the E85 approved version. Cheapest I've found so far is eBay US for about $260 delivered but I haven't finished searching yet.

Did you see the result on NS.com. A guy just made 295rwkw on 18.5psi with the tdo6sl2-20g 8cm on E85.

Hi Gulrez,

Thank you for your interest in our new 400lph high performance pump. Unfortunately, it is not rated for use in E85. It’s not to say that it won’t work, but we have not validated it in E85 and there are components inside the pump that are not properly protected against the harsh conditions that E85 causes. We haven’t heard of any issues with the pump, but I simply cannot recommend the use of it in your application at this time.

On a side note, we do have an E85 version that we are hoping to launch in the first quarter of next year that should flow beyond 400lph. We’ll have marketing data and flow specifications out to the websites and blogs 3-4 months from now. More to follow soon on this.

Best of luck and let me know if you have any additional questions!

Regards,

thats from Walbro itself. there would have been no reason for them to bring out a 416lph pump for e85 if the 400lph would work just aswell..

[slippylotion]

I've just seen some places showing the rating at a whopping 485lph! Keen to fit one, only thing is that it draws near 20amps. lucky I fitted a big power wire when I installed the 255lph.

[Nee-san]

Keen for more info on this pump.
