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.

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..

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
