Can always use the standard return as a feed and run an extra return line.

044's are rated at 500 working hours on E85.... Or so they say in the box. That's a bloody long time if it's a weekend car.

500hrs!! seriously that is shit....what if its a daily you could potentially be buying pumps every 6 months...no thanks... Even walbros are lasting longer than that...

why do people insist on running and recomending such ancient technology when the market is being updated regularly with newer, better products.......

Depends how you use your car.

Who knows how accurate that is. That might be a "disclaimer" just to cover their asses.

yeah true....doesn't seem to be many people happily running bosch pumps on e85 though...

I'm running 3 044's. 1 in tank and 2 feed. Late last year I had my primary feed pump start to die after 4 years. I noticed as I would start coming on my fuel pressure would drop. Swapped pumps around and problem went away. Maybe the sitting around for 10 months when I popped my engine played a part?

Either way, they're cheap enough.

If this is the case, then logic should be to run the 2 Hicas lines for fuel feed and the old fuel line and return as the return lines for 600Kw with twin Walbos?

Sounds line enough line flow with safety margin?

Just looking in the engine bay with the engine out, those Hicas lines look about the size of the main fuel feed single line but theres 2 of them and ive got a Hicas lock bar in now.

For that kind of power I would look at a Fuelab pump or similar, with variable speed from a PWM ecu output, then run a new -8an teflon line to the aftermarket rail/reg, and use the stock feed for return.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
