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..

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
