New Walbro 450 E85 bucket.
Hey all,
Some of you are familiar with my Stage 1 Walbro 255 inline kit. I've been working on developing what I'm calling my Stage 2 kit and I'm now through the design phase and have been running it for a little while. At this time it is not for sale and can not be purchased, this is purely to see who's interested in such an option as I go forward. With that said, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This is a simple drop in replacement for your stock pump and hooks up exactly the same way. Here's a few pics, a video, specs., and a log Specs: (As tested on my work bench) Pump = Walbro F90000267 (many call it the Walbro 455) Flows = 1.0 GPM (stock is .6 GPM) Volts = 13.5 Amps = 21 Here are a couple screenshots of my logs. (not sure if I can link to Datazap here) FTR, I am running a stock HPFP system, 100% E85 (tested at E82.5), but my fuel pressure regulator is upgraded and so are my lines from my tank to the HPFP. This log was taken at approx. 1200" elevation and temps in the 60's. The LPFP pressures: The HPFP (rail) pressures: To re-iterate, this is just a feeler, so if you'd like to see this option become available, please post up or if you have any questions...I'd like to hear those as well. Also, if you're curious how you access this assembly in your car.... Thanks, Steve

I like the idea, if/when it were ever to go on sale you could put me down for one.

Just wanted to pop in and say @SteveAZ really is a great guy and knows what he is doing. I currently have his stage 1 kit and it is unbelievable. The amount of work he put in to make sure that you get the kit and have literally every single thing you need is crazy. Would highly recommend anything he does to anyone

i AM speechless. probably the BEST setup out there. only people that have struggle with the venturi slipping off will actually realize how well this set up is put together. Speaking of which, i would like to see a picture of the bottom of the bucket, inside, where you connected the hose to venturi.
setup looks extremely clean. GREAT JOB!

Subscribed. I'm gonna be torn between this & the CPE billet fuel hat upgrade.... Price, system integration & consistency are going to the biggest factors.

First of all, thanks for the feedback, input!
To answer a few questions. I realize some are concerned with the venturi but to give you a bit more info on that. The fitting you see on the top of the pump, it's not just a tee...it has been tuned to flow the majority of fuel to the HPFP and just enough fuel to the venturi to fill the bucket efficiently but that's it. I have incorporated in the design of the fitting a way to reduce the flows to the venturi to protect it and maximize output. Then on top of that I have used nylon lines rated for 183psi working pressure and over 700 psi burst pressures and those lines are then prepared for the connections with a special tool, heated to form fit them after they've been assembled (just like the stock fuel line) and then crimp clamped to reinforce them. All the fittings, lines, and the bucket itself are nylon for compatibility. The tee fitting itself is manufactured from the same material as the Walbro pump body and the fittings Walbro provides for other installations...such as the my 255 inline kit. I've done that to limit the number of materials in the tank and reduce potential reactions by having to many different metalics in the tank. No...I would NOT recommend using this with an inline. If you have something that is custom and virtually nobody else is doing yet...contact me and we'll talk. But there are only a very few number of people that are working with anything like that and I've been working with most of them. As for a picture of the bottom of the bucket...when I'm prepared to release this...I'll post pics of it. As for cost...lets just say if you went in to a BMW dealership and wanted a new stock LPFP....you'd probably pay more than what this upgraded bucket will cost you.

The ring removal tool is for the lock ring that holds the LPFP assembly in place. It is demonstrated in the video at the bottom of the first post.
