I swear either fluffy wrote that post or you and her are spending that much time together you have become one person.

[JETURBO]

Well we spend alot of time as one person

So say a $2500 fuel system is money better spent than a $10000 engine if there is a lean out condition?

I spent 3.5k on the fuel system but I have over engineered since day one.

My set up:

Pw twin rail

Pw surge

Turbsmart FR 1200 reg

Teflon braid everywhere -6 &-8

10 micron mscn filter

Aero motive A1000

Siemens in tank

1200 cc injectors

Vevas system is pretty much the best way to go on these cars upto around 1000hp @ fly.

The system Ive been making up for poeple of late is...

Billet fuel rail (Plaz or AeroFlow)

Plazmaman Billet tank

Aeromotive A1000 pump (or second 044 on my adapter mount)

Turbosmart Reg (or Aeromotive) 1200hp rating minimum - #8 in & out

Fuel Lines-

Surge to Pump #10 ( a must have to keep the pump from crapping itself)

Out of pump (A1000) #8 into Y splitter #8 to twin #6

Two #6 lines up to each end of rail

One #8 line out of rail (centre) to Fuel Reg (#6 is fine for this side also.)

One #6 line out of reg to Surge tank return ( #8 can also be used as the reg will have #8 outlets)

Use Teflon braided lines with the correct fittings.

Its also a good idea to fit a new OEM Ford filter, as they are fine with Effonal, and I prefer to use a NEW or low kay OEM intank pump, again Effonal is fine with them.

The early Walbros are not Effonal approved, there is only ONE Walbro pump that is, and its hard to find, so for reliablitlity sake, a good OEM Ford pump is perfect, and a new OEM Ford sock filter.

Remember that Ethonal is a very effective cleaner, so it will pull all the crud and debris from evey nook and cranny in the fuel system, so its a good idea to keep changing the main filter when you fist do the E85 conversion.

Unfortunately its cleaning abillities have caused majority of issues with blocked lines ect, which is why poeple think its a corrosive fuel, its not when fitted to cars designed to use it... such as our cars running E10... more so NA falcons but you get the idea.

I feel the rule of thumb is keep it simple, if your only going for 400kws then a simple system with ONE 750-1000hp pump & 80s or 1000cc injectors, keep all the OEM lines to the surge tank, just make sure the surgtank to pump line is E85 approved... The latest Plazmaman & ProcessWesst hoses are quoted as ok for E85 from what Im told.

I hope no one is scared off from using E85, its such a dam good fuel, even the slightly up and down Eflex is awesome... we are so lucky to be able to drive up to a servo and fill up with what is basically super high octane race fuel, with large backing from major petroleum companies and out Government.

You just have to know what level you want to take your motor to, and set it up accordinly.... do that and you wont have any issues... other than bald tyres and brown undies

Also , I was just at MSC and they have a new E85 rated rubber push on hose available now, so that gives us a cheaper , usable hose rather than using Teflon braided hose... So easy push on fit and factory looking rubber hose, plus it's alot cheaper.

Can you supply all this ??

I have a process west surge tank and single 044 pump currently.

Where are most mounting aftermarket regs. I've seen a number of different set-ups and most look average. The best I have seen is the 'headsex' style where an additional fitting was welded to a PW surge (and the usual return blocked) so the reg basically bolted on. Looked neat and out of sight of the boys in blue. Any other ideas for a neat fitment?

Yes but call or email me to discuss it as I dont like to do these "one size fits all" as you may prefer a different pump or lines ect

Toads, I like to have them within easy access and sight, its good to be able to monitor pressure while doing a dyno run, and make any quick allen key adjustments... but yeah out of sight would be prefered for stealth reasons

Vevas set up looks very neat and kind of stealth... maybe he might throw a pic up?

[IH8TOADS]

Thanks RAPID. Has anyone got data on fuel temp? I can only imagine a big flow setup cycling through the surge is going to heat the fuel a fair bit....something I've wanted to do but never had the resources / donor car / motivation and/or time!
