Upgraded HPFP

Not applicable to the SHO's.....

But a good start nonetheless.

The pump fits but the lines need to be modified to fit the transverse 3.5. Adam at Tune+ is currently working with them and is going to use my SHO to test fit the modified version. He said in a few weeks he should have everything for the test fit. So hopefully at the beginning of next year we'll have a fueling solution. Hello E85!

If I could reliably run my SHO with 100% E85 and run high-ish boost (greater than 10-11 lbs that can currently be run on straight E85), that would for sure give me reason to run straight E85.

Hopefully these pan out and are reliable.
 
Running 100% E would require upgrading several components in order to do so successfully.

Granted this new (& potential) HPFP is one of the bigger components of that puzzle, but don't be so quick to overlook the necessities of the remainder.

I thought we were wanting a higher vol HPFP to get more fuel to the engine, not necessarily raise the % E ...

I was under the same belief, but obviously (as shown) there are others already considering it's alternative use.

Both.....You could run big turbos on pump gas without meth and or you could run huge boost on straight E85 and it would be like having race gas cheaply.
 
How much boost do you envision with stock turbos and straight E?  Past the max efficiency, you'd be looking at securing the heads properly.
 
Injectors, Head bolts, Fuel lines, Various  connectors, Linings/Gaskets, etc. Just to name a few.

A whole smorgasbord of upgrades to consider.

It's not as simple as just "slapping" on a modified HPFP & away one goes. Goodness.

so with higher E blends we probably want to run the bigger turbos, the bigger injectors (deatschwerks or otherwise), and miscellaneous parts as mentioned.  Also, FoMoCo, is the fuel system verified ready for 100% E85 for the 2010-12 MYs?
 
The guys making the pumps said on facebook that the stock injectors are fine to run the 30-40% more fuel the upgraded new pump can push.  We'll see when someone actually gets the pump running and tested.

I'm pretty sure you would need the +30 deatschwerks injectors to run the higher e blends.
 
I assume then the fueling and maintenance requirements would have to be more rigorous also, considering how many people have had the stock/OEM injectors fail.  How would you verify their condition prior to switching over to this new HPFP?

Have them flow tested.
 
I saw price of $1900, OUCH!  I know there  is R&D, seems overly high.  I was hope maybe around the price of a meth kit.  Going to let others try it first.  Can buy alot of methanol for $900.

Thats the thing, it is a bit of labor to get to them and then reinstall them, would have to be DIY.  I suppose a relative flow test would have to do instead.
