So I've been asked by a few of you what makes this pump E85 compaible unlike others, here are two reasons;

A lot of pumps mainly BOSCH unit's are used with E85 today, in most cases there life cycle will be around 500hrs (w/ E85), these Walbro's have an expected lify cycle of 3000 hours (6x more)!

Secondly, if a pump design has exposed electrical terminals it is certailny not to be used with E85 fuel.

There are more but that's the two main ones.

Would there be issues getting the pump now at 280hp then down the track it wouldn't need changing when the car is doing around 400hp?

Hey!

I don't see any issues with that, only thing is in the short term the pump would be overkill for your set-up.

It would still function correctly.

dam i should have got it from you.
would have saved myself 20 bucks.
ah well.. :(
next time.

So anyone got any proof of this pump holding over 500hp would really like to know as i'm going to be borderline 500hp after my new setup goes on

Jem reckon 350kw is borderline for the pump so i'm real curious

Cheers

      Because it's rubbish, it got progressively better with each generation but still rubbish when you're pushing the car on the track. Some like it, most hate it.

      Yeah, I presumed that the pic was of some other car, because of the F. Ikeya arms.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Did a little bit this afternoon and pulled the dump and turbo off so I could take the mani off to clean it up and give it a few coats of paint. Wire wheeled what I could get to and then got the sand paper out to get the tight spots. Gave it one coat so far, will do another two tomorrow and see if I can fit it in the oven to bake it for an hour along with the adapter and dbw.  Hoping the exhaust wrap I ordered turns up soon so I can wrap the dump and screamer. Ordered 30M so I'll wrap back as far as I can to help a little with temp next to the box and also the floorpan.

      Rb26 expected power

      Yeah I think overall I’m running the expected power I should be running for now and I’ll just enjoy it for the time being until I get some other parts. Thanks for the advice mate I appreciate it!

      That's fair enough.  Might be time to just enjoy what you have until you sort the ecu/flex sensor situation. You can pretty much guarantee that you are knock limited and e85 is going to be the solution to more power.
