New LPFP Controler

[dyezak]

So who wants to get us some info on this? Looks to be a programmable EKP2 replacement that is integrated into the CAN BUS that can inherently control 2 DW400's or 2 Walbro 450's.

No more hobbs switch?

No more tapping into hot leads to power a second pump?

Maybe it's full time PWM control of both pumps at all times?

I have questions....

Hopefully all the above. I think I either need this, or I'll figure out what AUX pins on Syvecs will trigger a relay to kick on the extra pumps.

I think Precision Raceworks has been working on one of these forever now. Would be a cool upgrade for sure.

So I emailed Torqbyte and asked if they could PWM control two pumps simultaneously. This is the reply:

Hi Matthew,
Yes it is. We have a special parallel Y pump harness for N54 applications. You can see a photo of it on our Instagram page.
The only thing gating the N54 release is some software testing we plan to complete in the next 2 weeks. Otherwise that will be the first BMW platform we suport.
Thanks

Wonder if @Omar@VaderSolutions can modify his bucket-less brackets to hold two dw400 pumps. Two dw400’s should be able to support a lot of power.

One more reply, I asked how many amps it could handle:

It comes with a 40A fuse. You shouldn't need to (even with 2x DW400s) but if required you can run a 50A fuse as long as the unit is mounted relatively close to the fuel sender (under 3ft).

I wonder if it could control 3 pumps

I wonder if it could control 3 pumps

Not with a 40a/50a max load rating.

But lets get real, a single Walbro 450 can push 600hp worth of e85...do you need 3 of those? Does anyone need 3 of those on this platform? People are hitting other limits of the LP fueling system and instead of properly addressing those limits they are just adding another pump.

What is max hp of these newer dw pumps being used suppling e85

This is a dw pump, it says 700, but doesnt mention if its e85

I am well aware of that and yes I do need 3. Alex at torqbyte got back to me and answered my questions. I have a solution now.

DW400 is e85 compatible

 

[buster84]

Has anyone thought about relocating the fuel pump to the engine bay?

The MagnaFuel MP-4303 is a high hp capible external pump that could work for this idea. I was thinking that you could replace the OEM fuel pump with a fuel hose that gets tied down to the bottom of the bucket, then add new -5an/8an fuel line from the tank to the engine bay, then you install the mp-4303 in the engine bay with a fuel pressure regulator that then connects to the hpfp. Seems like a cheaper and more reliable solution over 3 pumps, hobb's switch/control modules.

DW400 is e85 compatible

My bad is phrasing. Is it 700hp on e85

 

[Rcboosted2007]

Any ETA on those modules

Rated 750hp on E85

2 Walbro 450s is enough to power 1000+hp.

Eagerly awaiting that 1400hp dyno chart

Eagerly awaiting that 1400hp dyno chart

1100whp is more realistic, but me too! New fueling setup is almost complete.
