looking to hop on that e85 train - from what i searched, basically just injectors and fuel pump, correct?

 

Walbro 255 with the relief punched, and ID1050 or FIC 1200 hi-Z injectors.

Flex fuel also makes it easier. Just have to wire an ECA gauge into the map switch pin on the ECU.

 

was thinking deatschworks 300c, just haven't had good experience with the walbro's. id1050's sound good, flex fuel tuning sounds amazing - anyone in the midwest area that does that?

 

What issues have you had with a walbro? Theres a reason its pretty much been the standard pump recommended for like 25 years.

How much power are you shooting for? the 1050s are probably good for 425-450 on e85 around 95% duty cycle. At ~500 my 1100s are over 100% and my pump is pretty well at the limit. Im moving on to 1650s and a 450 just to get more overhead.

 

just a crazy amount of whining from it

shooting for 400 tops, I think. 320 or so right now on stock turbo, 24psi. don't plan on changing from that, went down that road with aftermarket turbo before, don't want to go down it again.

 

IIRC you're just looking for a little extra oomph out of your setup for Gridlife Street so you probably don't even need the 300c. I'm using the DW200 and FIC1200s with no issue. I bought DW from the start because I didn't want Walbro whine.

 

correct - may consider that also, yea

 

Ahh yeah, walbro does make noise. Though in an Evo its not that noticeable like it is in other cars. Its pretty well insulated from cabin. I would have to stop and think about it to hear it.

 

Not a fan of DW, I have had two of their pumps fail with less than 2000 miles on them and lots of friends with similar experiences.

The Wally 255 I pulled out of my car last year had been there since the dawn of time and always worked without flaw. I now run an AEM 320 (E85 version) for a bit extra headroom.


Also, here's a vid on that ACT twin coming out. Skip to 6:30 for the details. Actually looks like an extremely well engineered clutch and I think it's what I'm going to move to.


@kyoo hit up Ron at RSMotors. He'll get you squared away.

 

Personally I'd stick with the tried and true wally and call it a day. I used mine forever on 93 then corn with relief punched and she never quit. I like the whine, makes me know shes still kickin I donated mine to my buddy Ryan in his SSM Miata and she's still just pumpin away.

 

The walbro isn't loud unless it needs replaced. If you go with a DW, order 3 of them to have on hand to replace on a routine basis (sarcasm, don't buy DW anything).

 

Anything DW is complete trash. When I was still tuning as a job I ended up refusing cars with DW components. Too much of a liability.

 

+1 for having a wally 255 since...2007 I believe lol.

 

****! Mine's been in for 7 years but it doesn't get a lot of miles. I had no idea they were garbage and don't remember seeing a bunch of negativity towards them otherwise I would not have purchased. I guess I need to add a Walbro to the list.

 

i had a whinebro in my fp green evo, which i replaced with a dw300 because i couldnt stand the whine. didn't have any fueling issues, but if it's t hat bad i will avoid for something other than walbro - aem 320 then? it's not too tall? https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...fuel-pump.html
