    The Racetronix hose is still a thing. I personally love my AEM 320 because it gives me the flexibility to handle E85 if I ever wanted to use it either temporarily or make the switch. That plus I trust the quality of AEM over others. They have been in the import and tuning game for a very long time and there is a reason for that. I'm still on my original green top fuel pump and if it went out on I would be more then happy to replace it with the same thing all over again. Other choices exist and I'm a huge proponent of options, that of which we have plenty of at this point, with that being said I would not hesitate to recommend the green top fuel pump to anyone here. Yes it's overkill, yes I'll never exceed it's limitations, but it works and does everything I need it to do when I need it to do it without a doubt in my mind. So I'll take that happily and run with it.

    Second the AEM 320 greentop. idk if ifs certain vendors, but several have ordered the 320 and received the 345. Maybe AEM just discontinued the 320? Or more likely that vendor was out?

    It's still going, that's probably all they had the time. I get a lot of my go fast parts for this truck from Summit. I trust them and they don't sell knock offs unlike Amazon.

    I was going to order the walbro since I used that on a previous build with no issues but it was of stock. I ended up ordering the URD kit with the Deatschwerks 255. It is E85 compatible too.

    I'm not familiar with that brand, is that brand pretty good too?


    So my buddy brought his fuel pressure tester but we were only able to test it straight to the gauge. We measured 75psi. Reading around I was figuring at a dead gauge it should read double the test pressure which would be 80psi but I'm not sure.

    We replaced the FPR and did get 80 with this one but I'm not sure that's right. Probably gonna go ahead and change the pump out since it's something I wanna do anyway. You guys are messing me up now with which one to order from urd

    @happyabortion, that's what gadget at URD recommended since he didn't know when the walbro would be back in stock. I have a bit more fuel to burn through then I'll be installing it...hopefully in the next couple weeks.

    Oh man I didn't even know they didn't have the walbro wasn't in stock. I'd like to do it all this week if possible.

    Is the "Aem E85 320 Lph Pump (+$29.00)" the "green top" you guys are recommending?

    Best is to call……but don’t be surprised if he is a little aggravated to speak…….and that is putting it nicely. However, I have called before and he was nice as pie also

    I don't know man. I wouldn't touch URD simply due to their customer service which is that dude Gadget. Go hit up Summit. They got what you want, and they don't act like they're doing you a favor by selling you their stuff.

    So he's bi- polar. Sounds about right.

    Icon no longer answers the phone? Honestly that’ll probably get them more sales.

    I drove the one I was going to buy. Huge fan and wish I could have got it. The power is amazing. Won’t be disappointed.

    Interestingly enough here is what I have to say about customer service and this is part of the reason if not the sole reason as to why every business you see is here today and gone tomorrow. Don't let the link fool you, it's a great article which applies to any industry. Bi- polar over here keeps acting the way he does to every customer and eventually no one is going to support him at all.

    Gotta post my other love here while the xrunner is still away for the winter. Just had it fully cleaned. 7E2418AE-0AD8-486B-BDB6-E892EECC6BFE.jpg

    Think they’ll still be around to purchase new next year? I’ve had this RAV4 for so short I haven’t even gotten my tax credit for it yet.

    I appreciate the heads up. I guess I wanted to go with the urd kit since it comes with all the pieces I need. I'll try to do some research and see if I can figure out what parts I need.

    Not a big fan of supporting that stuff myself.

    Yeah. For sure. Launch edition got pushed way back. So you should be able to get a regular one. I love the ultrasonic blue. But I think white would be the best.
