Will that pump alone support that being only 140gph? Currently looking to swap to e85 and lookingfor pump options
The pump set up still has me on the fence, some people like the Fuel Lab , others Like Magna Fuel which makes a great pump and is quieter.
The Fuel Lab pump Im looking to get is 175 gph rated for 1500 hp . Thats more then enough .
Another option is to get three Bosch 044 pumps and they work great as well , but I want to eliminate the amount of wiring for fuel pumps.
To run a surge tank set up , Im having 8" x 8" x 6" Tank made which will hold about 1.6 gallons of fuel . Ill replace the bad Walbro in tank pump with a new one and turn the fittings to face towards the rear. Two pumps will run at 30 psi's without the pressure regulator and feed the surge tank . The -8 return line will now need to return to the surge tank , and attach another -8 from the surge to the factory tank as a overflow. I can run a -12 from the surge tank to a pre-filter -10 to the big pump , and then another inline filter after the pump before the rails . The two walbros at 30 psi's flow a ton so the surge tank basically is feeding the main pump all the time . It wont be able to suck the tank dry .
This way I can run as much boost as I want and not run out of pump .
My friends EVO has the 1800 hp Fuel Lab pump and he drives the car every day in traffic without vapor lock issues or surging , when you run e85 its also alot harder to get vapor lock b/c the fuel is cooler anyway.
Bosch Set up:
Here's the 1500hp MagnaFuel , great pump :
Here's Fuel Lab's 170 gph 1500hp pump , I heard very good things about this pump and that it has two speeds so you can run it at low speed and then activate the high speed under boost at a certain boost with a hobb switch or toggle swith , or thru a tune on a sand alone , whatever way you want to activate it:
