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.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
