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.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
