Hi all,

So I was at a efi shop yesterday and I was talking to the owner about fuel setups.

He mentioned that on all his high performance cars he now runs the Bugatti fuel pumps.

He didn't have any to show me but apparently they are quite long and thin, so they are perfect to mount to your chassis rail, no need for a lift pump as they have two parts, one sucks the other pumps.

They pump out around 750L a minute if my memory is correct and are only around the $450 mark..

An interesting and certainly cheaper option than running lift pumps, dual pumps etc

The brand is Pierburg, they are a nice pump, the only one that will suck fuel up a hose from the bottom of a tank so they have their uses, but installing them is hard in most setups. 750L per minute seems a little optimistic though. :P

There are two types, the higher flowing version is around 360L per hour.

Personally I feel the the Walbro 460L is the better option, and half the price.

Yeah Scotty I got a 460, it was more for guys needing more, which I certainly won't [emoji16]

More what? They flow 100LPH less than the 460L Walbro does at least, model dependant. The Veyron needs 4 of these Pierburg's I believe.

Im interested, because the REAL Bugatti pump (ti automotive L5LM) requires a brushless motor controller to run. and is bloody difficult to find a supplier, they're around the $700-800 USD mark. plus you need a brushless VSD controller

flows tremendous amounts at high pressures and low current levels. its a progressive cavity screw pump.

there is also a DC version that is similar form factor but only flows ~330lph that will be the pierburg others are referring to. generally is shown with a blue band around the body.

found this place selling the real deal for USD$795.... it flows 458l/hr at 5 Bar (72.5psi), at only 10.5 amps.

yea, for that cash a pwm fuellab is the ticket.

you need to be a bit careful if you use the electronic regulator. for cars that snap on boost very suddenly with a big jump in injector flow the pump can be a bit slow to react and you see a pressure dip.

better to map a aux pwm output on a 3d load table from the ecu to pre-empt instead of react.

i've got a boost-a-pump and a 20khz capable solid state relay, will report how a walbro 460 goes at 16v or so on a pwm drive. i've heard numbers like 568l/hr for a 460 at those voltages being thrown around, compared to 389l/hr at 13.5V.

Why stop at 16v. Lean on that sucker hard. :P

Kenne Bell have said that the walbros fail with sustained use at 17v and above from their own testing. I only need 420lph or so on e85 at 28psi and 8300rpm if my VE map is accurate, so 16v should do it. I suspect the VE will fall away above 24 or so psi due to the small turbines on the hks2530s, so it will probably end up being less.

Im running the Pierburg L3LM being fed by two holley hydramats, a 17.5v boost a pump and an aston martin fuel pump control module (siemens VDO 7H42-9D372-AA) they take a 100hz signal and up-sample to 20khz pwm power drive.

works great, and the L3LM at 17.5v flows about 430lph at 70psi. and only 17a draw. 

will be attempting 500awkw worth of E85 early next month so we'll see how it goes.

      Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation

      a31 chassis pinout/cluster wiring layout

      By imonpcp · Posted

      YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
