    I guarantee you that if you add up all the time and effort you ever spend on that second pumping at the gas station for the entire life of your car, it will not even equal 1/10th of the time and effort it takes to install a second fuel cell. And when it comes to problems, I guarantee you the hassle is also FAR greater on the second cell column. lol

    Ehh i dont have space for a fuel cell, i dont drive my car often but we do go on some road trips in it and a lot of states ethanol doesnt exist it seems like. I wish the whole country had access to these amazing blend pumps we have. See the issue for me is having to go to multiple gas stations if i want to blend e85 with 91. E30 is much easier to find at the pump than 91 is for me in the middle of corn country. I know of only one gas station that sells 91 and its in a little above ground tank setup and its complete garbage 91. Im no complaining its just more of a hassel imo. I can drive 20 mins and get e50 straight from the pump which i throughly enjoy just wish it was closer.

    Kwik Star has been popping up all over Iowa with 91 and e85 at the same station. Maybe you will get some.

    I guess I’m just lucky. Here in Richmond we have gas stations with E85 and 93, speed shops that sell every race fuel imaginable, and no less than like four national tracks that also sell race fuel.

    Damn you guys and your E85 gas stations... None here whatsoever. But luckily the dragway is only 5 mins away from my work. I can get all kinds of race fuel there lol

    Ehh cant move, my family has been on this land almost 200 years so moving is out of the question. I have discovered a new issue. Losing fuel pressure, this single dw300c isnt up to the task. Now the pressure is on to get the second pump installed. Or maybe this pump is bad since dw sucks. What pump are you running @Sho its the aem 320 stealth right?

    Are you running returnless? I’m pretty sure the DW300C is meant to be run returnless. Also, those tiny little injectors are killing your pressure. I went with ID1050X x4 injectors for that reason

    Just get the 2200's sho is running they are like 100$ for a set. I know a lot of builds on youtube use DW pumps but I have not heard great things from the mazda crowd.

    No its not returnless but its the same pump they run in miatas with fuel returns in fact the kit i ordered was for a miata. Yea i need bigger port injectors, i was dumb for thinking they way i did. At least they are very easy to swap out.

    Most of the problems I’ve seen are people who either went too small on injectors because they were cheaper or the DW65C pump. Without getting too complicated or technical or adding an ass load of extra cost for no reason, as long as you have parts that are properly matched you shouldn’t have a problem.

    Those are some pretty beefy injectors. I reckon those will do quite well. For that price, as long as it’s not some Chinese knock off garbage and are actually OEM injectors, worth looking into

    Been running those injectors in both 6th port and PI setups for quite some time. All my locals here in Ohio run em as well. They work, and work well. You just have to get some spacers/standoffs to make them the correct height and wire in the correct connectors

    I will probably get something like these

    [​IMG]

    1000cc should be plenty and they are the right plug and height for my rail.

    It may be a month or two til i get to it. I might be buying a quick project to try and build quick and sell off a few of my cars to clear up space. Sucks that the car is finally starting to feel really good and i was finally getting the hang of versatuner. Controlling boost seems to be a lot more difficult or im just not used to it.

    LOL it's as simple as cutting off the old plugs and soldering new ones in. 2 wires per injector...
