Not from me. I decided to buy the Walbro 400 and an aftermarket adjustable FPR. I have not installed them yet.

To the OP how much a difference was there between the DW and the Walbro? Im on the DW now and Im running out of fuel with E85. I did the rewire also but still not enough flow. Im thinking of going with this pump but Im not sure if Im wasting my time and money.

Sounds to me like you need bigger injectors and pump. I would get the 400pump 1st as this will help push your 1000 some more.In the end your most likely going to need bigger injectors. Even with throwing as much fuel at the injectors as you can.

Sounds like it's time for bigger injectors, Walbro 400 & probably an adjustable FPR. Or you could go with a double pumper and a Hobbs switch in which case you won't need the adjustable FPR.

You need to cut the housing no matter what. Unless someone comes out with an aftermarket housing to just drop in.

David from Buschur suggested the same thing and I think I will go that route. But when you say I'll be able to push the injectors a bit more, how much more considering they were at 95% duty cycle at 6k with the pump maxed out. My tuner also suggested Aeromotive.

I would say it will maybe bring it down to 80-85%. You can try the aeromotive but you will most likely still run out of fuel.

im pretty sure once you rewire its gonna overrun the stock fpr. my customers installing this pump tomorrow in his evo 9 not rewired so will get some data with it not rewired and see how much power it can support on e85 with fic 1550's. he only needs around 550 since hes still on stock block.
