Seminole81 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Right, so looking at new pumps, again, and tempted to see about getting something that can support E85...or am I wasting my time with the lack of it in the UK (is it even sold here?). Been reading up on it and saw some ridiculous numbers on the stock turbo 😬 Basically got it narrowed down to the following (have to say the AEM is tempting to try) non E85 compaitables...AEM and Walbro both do a E85 compatible version with the AEM coming in at £112. Walbro 255lph (£75): http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/fuel-pumps/walbro-gss342-high-pressure-fuel-pump AEM 320lph (£88): http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/fuel-pumps/aem-electronics-320lph-high-flow-in-tank-fuel-pump RCM 340lph (£114): http://rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/store/product/24-rcm-uprated-fuel-pump-1992-2008  Help? Thoughts? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole81 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Oh there's also the Aeromotive 340lph as well, but it's about £130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm not aware of anywhere in the UK that sells E85 yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never taken off here apparently. It's everywhere in Sweden I've heard. Think I might of got a cracking deal on a Walbro unit from a legit place. £60 new.

Someone made something ridiculous like 356whp and over 400lbs of torque on basic mods (pump, injectors, exhaust with decat basically). It was just an idea, and it's a flex fuel pump so it can take either ethanol or pump fuel. You could have 2 tunes done, one on pump fuel one on ethanol and only use ethanol at a track, which would keep your costs down. Worth an extra £30? Probably. However, if I can get this pump for £60, then is it worth the extra £70? No probably not. Would just upgrade if I ever decided to go down that route.
