Drom e85? Why drum?

A single 044 won't be enough. Should have saved the money from buying the drum, filled at United and bought a $200 Walbro e85 pump imo.

E85 isn't overly common up here so depending on where he lives it could be quite the trip there and back. Also helps when tuning if the tuner isn't close to an E85 servo.

I'm running from drum E85 now and pretty happy with first results at low boost
What size walbro in tank you got? Sound like it should be fine with those mods..
I'm addicted to pulling up at the lights and letting the fuel smell catch up
:yes:

Update:

So we now know the limits of an external 044 and wall bro intank with the the surge tank.

Topped out at 534whp at 24/25 pound.

Leaning out with any more boost.

Now awaiting the second 044 hopefully close to 600 is what I'm hoping for

Haha fully agree with you about the smell.

Smells so good.

And the workshop I help alot at always has drum e85 so I just run what they have basically pretty happy with the results so far. Look out with the second 044

And yea just is a bit of a journey to united especially if it is peak traffic

Yeah mate. Bit of a trip. From my place, which is only 15min from the city, it would take about an hour in traffic - if not a little more. Hence the use of drums.

Nicely done mate! Also, with any pointers, Noy would be the guy to ask as he's building a wicked 34 on e85. :)

Nice man thanks for the info will definitely keep noy nd the rest of you guys in the loop.

Appreciate any info to help.

But I guess we have proved many a people wrong with not being able to see 500whp on e85 with 1 external 044

Sorry noy for taking a whisk to reply.

I'm using a 500hp wallbro intank will have to check for the exact pump it is

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
