Interesting comments in this thread.

I have not converted my Ford turbos to E85, but recently have converted my STi.

I’m surprised that anyone would consider running just 1 single 044, when pushing over 420rwks, when you consider the extra fuel flow required by E85.

In my STi I changed over my 044 pump with a single 625 Magnaflow (1500hp capable), and my injectors to ID2000’s.

I don’t subscribe to the belief that a single 044 600HP rated pump is OK.

It maybe OK in an instance, but I doubt what anyone would recommend it if you wanted to err on the side of caution.

People should note that the Caltex Eflex fuel is often 70% ethanol, but can vary up to 85% or more.

Having a specific 70% tune would not be optimal if the fuel out of the bowser was say 80% ethanol, and you could get that at any time. Caltex is more likely to use 70% ethanol in winter for better cold starting, and increase the ethanol content in summer.

I also bought a Zeitronix digital fuel analyzer from the U.S, as it’s always worth knowing the ethanol content of the fuel.

You should ALWAYS know the ethanol content of the fuel as used in a tune.

The picture below shows the gauge showing the Ethanol content, here 87% out of the bowser at United at Rozelle in Sydney.

The picture below shows the surge tank, Magnaflow pump, and Zeitronix unit, and a very good installation by Tunehouse.

I just put my credit card in the DVD drive. How long does it take for delivery of this fuel analyzer?

Sorry fluffa, didnt know you were playing.

Was good seeing ya avatar every second post anyway.

all good.... look its really frustating to see someone come on here and try to dissprove everything youve learnt over the last 5 years when you know theyre wrong and everyone seems to side with them....

I know your all just looking for an answer... but if y'all did some actual real research and looked on other sources then ya might agree with the right side....

I mean if nizpro... one of the most respected shops in Aus agrees with me then fark.,... I get frustrated when others dont... that's all im saying,,,,

saying that .....everyones intitled to their own oppinion so good luck to them... when they spend `10k to get 300rwkw good luck lmao

Was also looking at the Zeitronix unit, how accurate is it Brian as when I saw it on youtube it varied on the same tank.

Interested to know how you find it

I'm fitting one of these to a car at the momment, that way the owner will know exactlty what is going through his fuel lines at any time, it's better than the test tube method.

Not much difference in price between 1 or 2 044's or a single A1000, it will cost you alot more to rebuild your engine

if it leans out due to fuel starvation. Most guys here are happy to spend the extra for the safety factor

but each to there own. I really enjoy threads like this as they are entertaining and helpfull.

Matty, we both knew there had to be a reason for the loss in power, you going back to Dale's?
