Firstly, are there any ecu's on the market with an in-built fuel pump controller? Something that will regulate the voltage at differeing rpm, so the pump isnt running full noise 24/7 and heating up the fuel.

Main concern is big pumps in street driven cars.

I know aeromotive do a unit, but its only a 2-step i.e only regulates voltage based on 2 rpm inputs, well thats my understanding of how it works. Is there anything out there that gradually increases/decreases voltage in relation to rpm?

If you run a big pump/s, how do u combat this?

The ViPec/ LINK G4 just use two auxilary outputs. They are configured as fuel pump for one, to switch on, and the other is configured as Fuel Pump Speed. This is activated when a set revs is reached (and or %Inj Duty cycle ).

The switching obivously needs a relay with a resistor inline with the pump to be able to switch it in and out as needed. As in most factory efi setups for the last 20+ years.

You could use an aux output set to pwm to control the pump that way, but you would still need an external driver (ie ignitor module ) to drive the heavy current loads a pump would use.

Show me any ECU that can control pump speed out of the box directly.

And whats so hard about a relay and resistor ???

yeh thats the way i meant, use a pwm output to control the pump via a relay and resistor. in the haltech its got a 32x32 map for it aswell. need to discuss it with my tuner though

If you use PWM you won't be needing a relay and resistor, just an single channel "ignitor" would be necessary to controll the large currents possible.

The link can quite happily do this and has a 3d map based pwm outputs as well.... and you can specify what ever you want to be the axis's of said 3d map .... boost*rpm or %inj duty*rpm ect .....

Any ecu will need an external ignitor channel to control the pump.

So...... no need to ditch the Link/Vi-pec

Seriously, its really an impressive bit of gear.

    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
