Hey guys I purchased a walbro e85 pump last week from a local shop. The pump didn't come in a proper packaged box, he reckons they don't fit the normal walbro box which is a bit odd now that i've seen my friends pump because his clearly came in a white box. The pump it self looks genuine to me, I'm just questioning if the fitting kit i got is the proper one. I've noticed that i'm missing butt connectors and my fuel hose seems to be shorter then a lot of the ones pictured. My main concern is that the hose breaks down over time if the shop made their own fitting kit and didn't use the right parts.

That type of material is made to sit in the fuel tank. I have seen it used before. Does anyone know where to buy them separately or what they are called?

Cant tell if the pump is genuine though. Why don't you post a clear picture of the pump itself out of the box instead?

I dont think that 400LPH pump has been copied yet.

Precision Engine Components they are an online based store but i went direct to their showroom. Forgot to ask you last time we spoke, did you use a worm clamp around the body of the pump to secure it inside the r32 gtr cradle. I noticed a lot of people doing it on bosch pumps.

No clamp needed

I put that big round rubber thing that came with the pump over the body and put it in the stock location in the cradle, use the big 45degree sock it came with, that will sit flat in the tank and you won't have a problem with fuel surge

For reference, here is my Walbro 400lph pump that i purchased from KudosMotorsport and it came in a Walbro box with fitting instructions and plug, rubber hose and clamps and a fuel sock. Looms very similar if not identical to yours.

Yeah that is the E85 pump. The differences between the two are serial numbers, E85 (F9000267) and standard (F9000262)

And the E85 pump has sealed connectors as you said

Whereas the standard has spade type connectors and isn't sealed.

have any of you guys managed to block up your fuel filter since going e85? i put a brand new one in before i got mine tuned, now my afr is running a bit lean and i'm trying to think of all the things that could contribute to this.

Cheers

has been on the dyno twice and has cycled through many tanks and been running fine for few months on e85. The only thing i did differently was use the braeside united station as oppose to clayton one off princes highway, however the flex fuel sensor still reads between 78-80 as per usual. My sensor/ecu calibration seems to read a bit lower then what the actual ethanol content is, been like this since day one. I don't think the actual fuel is the issue anyway

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
