What Intank Pump Will Deliver The Most Flow? Nismo?

If you buy a genuine Walbro you should have no issues, it's the knock offs causing the confusion.

I have twin 255's intank and have been running them for years on e85 without a problem. These days I would go for the e85 416L version just for the sealed plug and the fact they are designed for long term ethanol use.

I think your going to struggle to push that much power through a single pump without going to one of the really big aeromotive units or something similar marko. what's the reasoning for not wanting a

I wonder if my Nismo pump will last long term on ethanol. I haven't heard anything bad yet about the e85 walbro pumps so they must be a good upgrade from the standard pump.

Nismo over engineer their things, im sure they would have had race gases similar to E85 being tested with the pump during their their RnD. Im slapping mine in soon hope it lasts.

Since this discussion is ongoing...I'd like to pose a question...

How much power roughly do you think a single Sard 280LPH intank pump would support on a 2JZ?

I'm at 325rwkw atm on eflex but I'm thinking of turning the wick up alittle more...

In regards to the Nismo pump, I'm running one on e85 with no problems at all. I stayed away from your standard Walbro pump just from the fact that they have a higher tendency to fail. I know a few guys who have had problems after a period of time.

I've heard this too. So i was never convinced the walbro were perfect little gems to begin with. Thats why I had no problems deciding to give This is the "fake" walbro pump a go as well

They claim 340L/PH. I"m not sure if anyone has verified it. I did get a genuine 255 too. Didn't notice any difference in the way the car ran between the two.

Anyway I will think about cleaning the injectors, or possibly buy another set for not much more than clean. Boost is staying low for now.

Can anyone extract any data out of the spark plugs?

Red spark plugs? hmmm.

I would be curious to know as well. I will try and squeeze every kw out of my nismo pump before I need to move on :)

What's generally the limit i.e. maximum power for the nismo pumps?

RHD says 550ps and im sure it will get there and probably over.

regarding the walbro 450lph E85 fuel pumps....what power have people made with these and at what boost (psi)? have we found the limit of these pumps yet??

They are rated @ 450lph @ 0-30psi... A stock RB fuel rail runs a higher base pressure than that :whistling:

Once you get them to 60-70psi (which is what most people will be running), the flow drops to under 400lph, maybe even 360lph - I saw the rating graph from Walbro 450l a few weeks back but for the life of me i can't find it right now.

Gotta love the online retailers at the moment claiming they will support "900hp on a turbo set-up", maybe if you used two they would.

Haha exactly right

I'm running one getting 13.8volts, with my base pressure at 55psi and 26psi boost it made 410rwkw on e85,

Obviously lower and or stock rail pressure and lower boost will net more flow

I have been recommended by quite a few knowledgeable tuners recently to bump up my base pressure, (I am running 40 psi with the hose off) The bosch ev14's apparently spray a beautiful mist at 90-100psi but there aren't any intank pumps out there that flow much at such high pressures, certainly not the 255 twins I have currently.

To test my theory (more pressure = finer mist = better power and economy) I would need a large mechanical gear pump off the fuel cell, I am thinking one of these Magnafuel external pumps which are rated up to 120psi.

Might be time to ditch the twin intanks I think.

Yep injectors needed abit of help and also idles better so maybe the higher pressure is atomizing better?

My next step besides cams cos my stockers are holding me back would be 2000cc injectors and maybe a fuel lab external pump

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
