Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Well, so just a little update.

So the whole reason I lowered my price $1,000 after a week was I found this while logging recently...



The first run was at half a tank...I logged it then I filled up the tank, ~7.5 gallons or so and did another run, perfect. So Jon and I talked and agreed bad fuel pump pickup. I have always been skeptical of my double pumper as it hasn't started because of "low gas" at like 1/3 of a tank.

So today I went ahead and bought a used OEM fuel pump hangar as my stock one is modified for the double pumper and I am going to redo my fuel pump system soon, maybe next week (aka drop it off at MAP).

They are going to do the following which is what Chris Carey is prolly going to do to his Evo X as well.

-Remove double pumper (sell for cheap with hangar)
-Wally 400 e85 version
-MAP fuel pump install kit, includes aluminum sleeve and flex hose
-DW hardwire kit to get battery voltage to it, get rid of fuel pump relay
-6AN fuel line for my feed from rail
-Turn current hard factory feed line into return line as its bigger in an effort to reduce fuel pressure as the fuel pumps flow more at lower pressures.
-Modify return line orifice to reduce fuel pressure drop

So hopefully with all of this Chris thinks it should be good for ~600whp on E85 and I tend to agree after reading several tests online.

I want to move back to a single pump to simplify my setup as I don't like the dual pump setup unless you really need to run it. Chris said when he ran the old 400 on his car he could do pulls until the gas light so I am looking forward to that big time.

My thoughts on future fueling needs if this isn't enough or I want a bigger turbo...run a BAP for easy mode or more likely, do a surge tank with big weldon like Lomker's setup.

More to come.

I will then re-raise the price on the car to $32,000 for sale and then if someone brings me the cash I will make a call, otherwise I am going to rock the car as its working well and I am enjoying it again! Then hopefully rock the car on the mitsustyle cruise again for more pumpkin smashing fun.
