I see two of the three connections on the setup, AN Fittings obviously and a wiring assembly..
Will there be any plug and play fittings and wiring harness? or will the lines and wiring have to be adapted? Also, I see only 2 of the 3 lines, there's a secondary pickup on the other side of the tank that I don't see attached.
I don't want to resort to dropping the tank to retrofit some stuff since those lines and wires arent the easiest to get at in that location.

Sweet thats what I like to hear. I was hoping to use the stock lines and not have to adapt anything, but considering the power level expected out of my car on pump gas, I'm sure that its in my best interest to run new lines if necessary. I'd been using an in-tank pump and an inline pump, but the inline pump is really noisy.. How is the dual in-tank setup?

I dont care what people say about E85 i would never put it in my car are you kiding me the afr's would be off the charts. There would be to much at risk. If we ever run out of reg gas im just going to run race gas or alky. all the time. This would work great for a 600whp or less evo but not on my car thats going to be way over 600whp.
But the twin pump setup in nice. Shoot me a pm i got a ? for you about priceing and some more info on the pump mount

hahaha this post made me laugh.
why would your AFR be off the chart? E-85 = 9.8:1 a/f ratio. whats the big deal?
now heres the kicker that made me laugh...
you said, "if we run out of reg gas, i'm gonna run race gas or alky"
you are aware that race gas and regular gas come from the same source right? if we run out of reg gas, you're not going to get any race gas either.
and whats even funnier is that you said you'd run alky... alky IS E-85!!!!! E-85 contains 85% ethanol. alky is either denatured alcohol (ethanol) or methanol, which is also an alcohol fuel.

Thanks, it wasnt meant for E85 only. It was made to simply take care of the fact that people are maxing out their single walbros. E85 requires about 30-40% more so this is perfect for the use of E85, that is if you chose to use that type of fuel.

Another thing i like to add about E85 is that alchohol burns clean. If youre a tuner yourself, reading plugs for detonation would be alot easier. Im anxious as hell to try the stuff. I know a few guys who ran E85, and they said their down pipe and everthing else, like plugs ect ect.. looked like it was never used.

I find the fact that a fuel pump is anodized purple to be hilarious......
Good work, looks like a top notch product, and theres going to be some "pump gas " monsters in our near future.
Has anyone found out what the limit seems to be with E85, what sort of max boost are you guys pushing?

Well E85 is the future so, I figured what the hell ,why not try it. The twin pumps are ready to go. What do you guys think about purple?? haha. Incase some of you guys are not familiar with E85. E85 is 85% Ethanol and 15% Fuel (in most cases by the way). Ethanol is know to corrode aluminum unless anodized so i went ahead and anodized the piece, along with all the pieces that are going to be for sale (raw aluminum is available too). I will have other color choices as well. Well, Im going to be installing this in the evo very soon and hopefully tune it on some E85. Sorry for taking so long on this but putting design into the patent process took some time just waiting on approval now but atleast its submited. Ill keep you guys posted with the dyno progress :biggrin:
"wetted parts" that will be under long term immersion in R-OH needs to have a barrier like FEP to prevent contact.
