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.

      Yeah. OK. I'll say the same thing I say to everyone. You do not have to use 100% throttle all the time.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
