Anyone max out a single Walbro 450 on E85?
Curious on how far you can push the Walbro 450 on E85. How much power has this new pump been able to support? My car is making 640 n/a currently and I am adding a small shot (~75) on top of that. I just had a 450 installed and would like to know if I should pick up a BAP.

It's rated for cars over 700 so don't see why you have any issues with it on the corn and sauce.

Since we run these at such high base pressure you have to take that into account also. The pumps really drop off quick after 70-80 psi and we run 60 ish base so....

Cody if you can buy a block off for the passenger side fuel tank and take the regulator out. Set your base fuel pressure at 43 or 45 or whatever the tuner wants it to be at. As far as the fuel pump itself is concerned, abuddy of mine who is running Pro EFI on his Supra with a 66mm made right at 700whp on E85 on one Walbro 450. We were going to go back to the dyno because he bought a 72mm hoping it would be a direct bolt up but nope so we never got a chance to see where the pump would of maxed out by turning it up some more. All of this was done through a single -6 feed line so I'd say you are definitely good for 700whp now how much more you want past that is up in the air at least from what I've seen with the pump. Good luck with it.

Walbro also has a 485 out now and it supposedly flows 30% more than the 400's. I have one of the 485's in my driver side tank and I'm using a Weldon 2345 sumped off the driver side tank as well. Would of gone dual Wally's but like mentioned above the base of the pumps are to big and they do not fit.
Yep that's the whole point of it. If you don't do the block off and you try and lower the fuel pressure the crossover tube will not work correctly.

^^^^ that is the same part number as the Walbro 400(E85)

I see. I wasn't sure if the transfter system was like a early c5 in that you can't seem to lower the pressure much under 55psi and have the venturi still work.
As he said above I believe you are either getting the e85 400 or the normal one. I don't think they have a bunch of pumps that are different, but vendors tend to change up naming and pressure that they rate them at.
