Enough fuel pump w/ E85 ??
Enough fuel pump w/ E85 ?? Setup - 370ci, PT76GTS, 160# injectors, E85
Current fuel system - Dual in tank walbro 255's -10 main line to aeromotive regulator, -8 to each rail.
Looking for around 850-900whp. ... Yes on E85
Current system is probably maxed out? How big of a bitch is it to add a 3rd pump to the factory plastic bucket? Or would running 2 Walbro 340's be sufficient?

Big power on e85 takes ALOT of pump. Time to look at the Magnafuel 4303 or 4302 at minimum. Great street pump and will supply what you need. I'm running 2 of them to make an attempt at 1500rwhp on e85.
Ya i wasnt thinking when I typed that... The main line is -10 goes to a filter then has a Y-fitting w/ -8 to each rail then comes back to the regulator.
I would think you will need 3 pumps in the stock tank or a Large aftermarket external on and a sumped tank would be good at that point
I would ditch the duals and go external... Weldon or Magnafuel. I dont think your pumps will cut it. Im building something similar and looked at every which way to stay in tank and after a lot of research with that kind of power on E85 its pretty much not happenin in tank.

Why wouldnt 3 walbros work? Seeing 2 pumps will support my power demands on gasoline with room to spare, the percentage more (subtracting the power gain) needed by E85 I would think would be well covered by 1 more pump. ??
Im not going external.. if the 2 wont cut it... im adding a 3rd.

Again.. this is my opinion.
Not sure what "BAP" is. But I dont see how multiple pumps is a bandaid. Its a street car so I'd prefer multiple pumps over one. Cost is a factor also. It cost probably $100. to add a 3rd fuel pump. A whole new fuel system way more than I want to spend.
On automagicls1's car I cut the plastic bucket out below the fuel sender and hung 3 pumps there, -10 line to a Y block dual 8s to rails, regulator after rails, 160lb injectors. Plenty of fuel at 1100rwhp.
BAP - Boost a pump is my guess.

Im going to use mine on the street too... with a Magnafuel external that they recommended and a fuel cooler on the return to keep it from overheating.
Anyways.. good luck... Id like to see how it all turns out.

Do it to prove everyone wrong!
I was looking @ a mustang today that is 91mm turbo and just made 920whp on a glide on e85. He does not have a fuel system that supports 2000hp.
Good luck, Chris
I think adding another walbro will get you there.
At least with the Walbros you dont have to drive around with one massive fuel pump bypassing fuel through hot rails and regulator heating the fuel till it boils.
-Im using one Magnafuel 4303 and looking for 1000rw on E85. We'll see.

I'm actually running 2 magnafuel 4303s each with its own 40amp race BAP trying for 1500rwhp. We were losing pressure at 1200rwhp without the BAPs. Hopefully they will get me there.
