Finally finished my budget, track capable fuel module which should support upwards of 650whp on e85 using a Holley Dodge truck pump module , walbro 525lph hellcat pump and an Amazon utensil holder lol
The preliminary testing shown in the video seems to be promising and I think it’ll work great for track duty.
In case you were wondering, this is for my gen3 hemi powered time attack budget viper build. I didn’t have the factory fuel module/bucket and I needed a cheap way of supporting the 525whp or so on e85 I plan to make while controlling fuel well enough for track use without running into starvation issues.
I did read the gen 3 pump sticky “800hp” sticky thread, which was great, but decided against that method because 1) those pumps and the gen2 bucket is getting very expensive and hard to come by, and I’d need both and 2) I didn’t want the added complication/potential failure point of a boost-a-pump.
For a similar reason, I opted to not go the surge tank route even though that would likely be the most effective at fuel control, but I also had concerns about the lift pump mentioned in the video.
This way of doing it probably isn’t for everyone (maybe not for anyone but me lol) but it does seem like it’ll be effective, cost me less than $700 total (not including the money I’ll get back from selling the new 255lph pump it came with ) , makes plumbing the return system and wiring the larger pump a breeze and allows the use of an easily sourced /reasonably priced 525lph walbro.
Biggest downside is weight. Between the chunky billet hat and the stainless bucket, it’s a brick of a module but at least its weight added over the rear tires lol
Anyway, I’d go into more but it’s all in the video if anyone is bored enough to sit through it all
