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'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

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.

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.

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?

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.

im waiting for a response from these guys, and will probably get it from them if Aznew(authorised walbro dealer) cant get it in

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..

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
