i'll check the alternative fuel section too, but i'm curious what tuners think about running 1200cc injectors on stock ecu. also, at what point will a 255 walbro be insufficient, assuming 7800 rpm fuel cut?

I ran it in my wrx and was a little harder to start in the winter, but not enough to be an issue.

I am going to be setting up to run E85 soon, also going to be moving so will wait for that, I saw a device in another post that showed the percentage of mix and I am thinking that will be a must for the cold weather and mix changes.

Search in the ECUflash section. A lot of EVOs running 1,200cc injectors with stock ECU. I wold not, however, unless you are running a larger than stock (>=FPred) in which case you would also want a twin pumps set-up or a supplemental pump.

ah yes, the double pump setup. guess i'll have to look into how pricey such a step will be. i have a lot of learning to do, i want a dual setup where i have my pump gas map in case , then i'm thinking about how well the pump map will run with the double pumper and the 1200. compromises, compromises.

Unless you have plans for more than a Green, only a single Walbro is needed. There are inline pump options as well if you do need more pumping capacity.
