would FIC 2150CC with a single walbro FP big enough for e85? Also will the walbro keep up ? i don't want the pump to die.


2.3L 9:01
AMS F1 intake manifold
ETS 5858 turbo kit
Ported head with +1mm oversize vavles.
GSC S2 camshafts

 

The fuel pump will obviously be the limiting factor with this setup, and should be good to around 500hp on E85...

 

If it is a single Walbro 255, it gave me about 300-350 hp (dynapack) on E85 and 500 hp on pump fuel. If you meant Walbro 400, I have not tested it yet...

 

thanks

Pretty sure STM pushed the walbro 400 to mid 500's on their dyno. The walbro 450 just came out, might want to look at that it supposedly ethanol capable.

 

See link above lol.

 

Walbro Will do 500 wheel horsepower on a dynojet

 

And do you know how much extra money you need to spend (adjustable FPR setup) and mods you need to do
(change the low to high voltage switching ppoint in the ecu, and possibly drilling out the oem siphon)?

 

Hey guys what, he is running 2150's. He should expect to have supporting mods and modifications to those mods to play the game. Charlie will sometimes cut corners but in the end he always ends up doing it right.

 

What is cutting corners? Tons of people run FIC 2150s and a single 255... I did for over a year with no issues...

 

And what I was getting at is he may as well just spend the money on a Buschur double pumper and have enough fuel delivery for over 700hp on E85...

 

Is that what you were getting at? Because I don't think anyone would of assumed that, prior to your last post I quoted above hahaha.

Now that I actually read the first post, 5858 is only capable of making 610whp probably more like mid 500's. So the 255lph with a re-wire will do the job, for a bit. Then I would suggest moving into a 340lph, a double pumper would be overkill for that turbo.

 

Yeah my bad, your 60 posts worth of experience definitely outweigh facts...

Fact- The DW or aeromotive 340s have already been proven to flow the same or worse than a Walbro 255.

Fact- What I was pointing out was that by the time you buy a 400lph, a rewire kit, and an adjustable FPR kit, you might as well spend a few more dollars on a Buschur DP, use the stock fuel lines and FPR and be on your way...

Opinion- No it is not overkill, it works great, and at mid 500 HP level it is a great soultion...

 

60 post might not, but 12 years experience might.

Fact # 1 - All in the user, I have seen people with great results and some with horrible results. I myself have exceed the capabilities of a 255lph and switched to a DW 320lph pump and cured my fuel issues. However the very next guy might have a totally different experience.

Fact # 2 - You don't know that he doesn't have a AFPR kit. However to entertain you for some reason your upset.

Walbro 400lph - In no time they will sell for 200.00
AFPR Install Kit - 180.00, or you can put together yourself one for cheaper
Re-wire - 30.00

Total - 410.00 vs Buschur 500.00 + shipping back and forth. (Possibly + core)

However, I'm not against you at all. I recommend Buschur double pumpers often and suggest them for anything over 600whp to be dead honest. When setup correctly they do wonders, however I'm a fan of a single drop in when it's capable. Especially one that will actually carry a warranty with e85 use. If you pop a standard Walbro they tell you to get bent, if you haven't dealt with their customer service or warranty in your time, your in for a ride!

Opinion - It is just that, and opinion. You know the saying.....


I'm not trying to argue with you, but if you want me to explain my opinion of a drop in Walbro to someone I have worked with for over 3 years, by all means I will do so for you.
