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.

Just ordered one via the paypal button, however on the pec's online website it is 199? Why is 220 a SAU special but cheaper on your website??

Thanks

Thanks for your purchase.

We had not yet updated the site for new Walbro pricing, but we have done so now for the E85 unit. $210 + delivery online.

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

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
