Default 350Z E85 Fuel System.....

Hello all, it has been awhile since I have actively shopped for parts for the 350z, so I could use some help in getting up to speed. As far as fuel systems go, what is the latest and greatest big power pump setup available? E85 compatible, 800-1000hp, preferably in tank. CJ Motorsports was my first choice, as it fit what I needed, but they are currently unavailable while they are being updated. In the event that they are seriously delayed, ill need another option. An external surge tank system was my next option, likely a Radium unit, as I really like their products. However, I would prefer the in tank option, as adding a lift pump and extra plumbing into the mix is a variable I do not need. I have used surge tanks for race cars, but for a street car its not really critical. Thanks everyone, I look forward to hearing whats out there.

I run the CJM twin pumps, the 255/450 combo. However, thatv35guy got tired of waiting for the new version to come out and he decided to add a Kenne Bell boost a pump to his in tank walbro 450. I think he is pushing enough fuel to make in the neighborhood of 800whp.

Thanks man, how long has the CJM setup been being unavailable? By the sounds of it, its been a while. Im going to look into that Kenne Bell boost a pump. Do you like your CJM setup?

I believe I bought one of the the last twin pumps back in April. And it seems like it's probably going to be the end of the year before the new version is available. However, if the new version is similar to the one for the 370Z, it will be real nice and it runs two 450 pumps. I like the setup a lot. I run a ProEFI EMS so I trigger the 2nd pump to come on at 7lbs of boost and over 3000rpms. Thatv35guy just couldn't keep waiting, and I don't blame him, so he started looking around. There are a ton of cars, mainly other platforms, that just add boost a pumps to their setups.

yeah, I’m anticipating it being like the 370z unit, which is very nice. I may have to hold out for it. It’s winter soon and it’s gonna time to hibernate. Any opinions on the pump options walbro vs aeromotive?

In AZ our boost weather is just getting ready to start. I keep the car turned down all Summer then turn it up in the Fall/Winter/Spring. I prefer Walbro pumps. Their 450 is hard to beat, and they have the new 525. However, I've only met one person who had an aeromotive 340 good bad pretty quickly. So, I'm sure they're good pumps too.

I may need to do the same, CJM Twin Pump 2.0 still isn't out... But wiring isn't my strong suit. May need to just have someone install it for me.

What do you run for an EMS? It was real easy to wire it up in his car. However, we're able to wire it the ProEFI and trigger it to come on under certain conditions. In his case it's 7psi of boost and over 3000rpms.

I'm still using the stock ECM with Uprev, but plan on upgrading to Haltech perhaps by tax season since my funds will be used for working on upgrading my heads. Was going to use a boost switch to activate after 10psi until I can incorporate it into a standalone.
