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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
