I'd recommend at least half a tank at the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much when you've got sticky tyres and are hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to be cautious and have the guarantee that fuel will be there. Generally down to a quarter is ok but I personally wouldn't risk it. It won't really matter with e85 anyhow as it is pretty knock resistant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car will now be a weekend toy so it won't be nearly as bad if I was daily driving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 11m 7d Posted 08/01/21 10:37 AM Author Share Posted 08/01/21 10:37 AM This also looks like a great option and will be suitable for my power level. Rather simple as well. Is it really the 'all in one' solution? https://www.kpmfuelsystems.com.au/product/ba-bf-mk1-700hp-in-tank-module/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it has a large Walbro in it but surely it must be engineered much better than the sniper equivalent. Sniper claim 750hp with a 460 and kpm say 700 with a 540 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WALBRO-E85-460-BIG-POD-PERFORMANCE-FUEL-PUMP-FALCON-FPV-BA-BF-XR6-TURBO-XR8-GTP-/263164518611 Edited 08/01/21 10:47 AM by violetpop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought some bits n pieces off him in the past. I also talked to him about the modifications he does to the pod and used them successfully with mine. I can run full boost under 10% fuel with no issue, just make sure you try it on the dyno first ha. I did have to take the check/vapor/valve out of mine though but it was already playing up when I was putting fuel in etc. An upgraded or uprated valve should be fine, I think that's what he has in the big pods. He has the 525 as well but you have to think about wiring then: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WALBRO-E85-525-BIG-POD-HI-PERFORMANCE-FUEL-PUMP-FALCON-FPV-BA-BF-XR6-TURBO-XR8/283133900955?hash=item41ec18789b:g:WuAAAOSw1ZJehbXk Edited 08/01/21 12:15 PM by adams355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
