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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
