E85...ID2000 injectors...GT3076r....this car could hit some epic kilowatt goals! (not that it wasn't epic before!)
 
What fuel pump did you decide to go with?  Walbro 400lph? 
 
I came across something quite funny on ATS Racing website for their Aeromotive 340lph Internal Fuel Pump.  Check it out: http://www.atsracing.net/Parts/Details/F-AEROMOTIVE-FP

Hahaha WTF

I haven't bought a pump yet, but the Walbro is on top of my list at the moment.

I like the honesty.

My RacerX order has been shipped, I can't wait to receive it!
I also just ordered a Flex-Fuel sensor (the Continental one, which Haltech re-brands).
I still have to choose a fuel pump. If I choose the in-tank Walbro 400lph, I can just get it from Gorilla Industries. I'll probably have a chat to my mechanic before buying a pump though.

My RacerX order has arrived, and I am extremely happy with what I see!
 
Firstly, the RacerX intake manifold/plenum. It looks even bigger and better in real life compared to photos:

Now I just need to talk to my mechanic.

Rob any update?

It's been a while hasn't it!
I was meant to take my car to MRC recently, but I've had too much other stuff going on.

The only update is that I bought a Walbro 400lph E85-compatible in-tank fuel pump from Gorilla Industries last week.


I'm really trying to minimise how long my car has to stay at MRC, so I want to order as many parts as possible before I drop the car off. I've got most of the parts already, but I have to decide whether to buy a A2W IC core before I take my car to MRC, without pulling apart my exisiting system to take measurements of the available space.
 
For my own reference...

stuka's FrozenBoost type 3 IC (rated for 70psi):

Looks good Rob.
Will be interesting to see the results under high load in driving conditions.

I received the FrozenBoost A2W core last week, it looks nice in real life, better than it does in photos. It feels quite beefy, I'm glad I didn't bother with the 150psi-rated version.
I reeaallly need to find some time to get my car to MRC!
 
Also, as much as I like my current rear tyres (Adrenalin RE002 265/35 R18), this week I'll be swapping them for a pair of Pirelli P Zero 245/35 R18, and I'm selling the RE002s as mentioned in another thread. The Pirellis weren't my first choice, but I committed to the 245 width and that eliminated some other options. Anyway, they are one of the best-reviewed tyres available in the 245 width, without spending $600+ per tyre. The main reason I'm changing the tyres is because I want more fender clearance at the back. I still hear annoying scrubbing sounds on some moderate-to-large dips/bumps. After that's done, I want to lower the whole car, at least 10mm lower at the rear, and at least 15mm lower at the front. As most of you would know by now, I care equally about the looks and performance of my car.
 
MR2QIK: if you read this...I'll be chasing you up for a photoshoot with my car once I lower it . The last time anyone did a decent shoot with my car was about 4 years ago, not long after I bought it. Since then there have only been some random photos taken by others, and lots of photos taken with my phone.

Yes I've read it (despite lurking on too many forums) lol

Not convinced about your rear tyre solution though. Did you shave off those tabs? You'd want the grip of those RE002's when you're on E85.
