I'm still trying to decide on my Paxton setup . Has there been any fuel pump failures on pump gas and BAP? I have easy access to e85 and would love to use it but I just don't have the money for a fuel system yet.
Fuel pump failures
- Thread starter 125oh
- Start date
My pump failed with running E85 and a VMP BAP.
I don't think its e85 vs 93 that kills the pump its the extra voltage. It wont matter if its 93 or 85. With 93 you probably wont need a BAP on the stock pulley. I know 2 people locally that have had their pumps go out from BAPs that run all the time. Get the JMS or one that runs on a hobbs switch. My pump has lasted 12k miles so far with the JMS.
Vortech BAP ( which is fs) E85 and 93 here no failure
I have had a non programmable Vortec kill a pump on me while running e85
Ok fine let me go buy a 1400 dollar Fore setup ^ those pumps will never go bad, kidding haha I'm going throw a nice fuel pressure gauge on try to keep a real close eye on it and hook up a failsafe.
I did
If I had a spare 1400 I would too 
Working on it. Who did you go with for the kit?

I bought the stage one kit through Beefcake. Then some Fore fuel rails fell in my lap at a price I couldn't pass up, so I called Fore and ordered a couple fittings and turned the stage one kit into a true return system.

I think is fuel related to E85 because of the volume. Higher volume and the pump REALLY has to spin. The pumps in the lower HP cars that aren't PUSHING the pump, seem to live fine. Mostly nitrous guys from what I see. 100-150 hp, no big deal. When you start seeing 650-700rwhp is when you start to see guys losing them.

Contact Sai Li and ask him about his fuel system.
It's a dual pump system and the cost is $950 shipped. Supplies enough fuel for 960WHP (which he tested on his TT car).
I installed mine last month.
OP I have a Vortech programmable BAP for sale BRAND NEW and never used. it is boost referenced i believe so it will only push voltage as needed not high voltage all of the time like VMP.
And i agree with CPRism, i also think it's fuel related not only voltage as E85 requires more fuel as it is.
