Some fuel pump photos!
I got a few photos that you guys might be interested in with all this fuel pump talk. BMS is setting up a fuel pump voltage booster for one of their customers and took a few photos showing the fuel pump location, connectors, and contacts. The main power connector should look familiar to many of you!

So boosting voltage will pump more fuel but set the pump itself at the edge of it's abilities wont it? Seems like a short term solution.
If it's a good solution, please share the concept in greater detail. I wish someone would just come out with a pump injector kit...

I'd recommend you visit the 3 series part of the forum. There's a lot of information on the fuel system there done by Shiv and others.

This seems like a bad bandaid fix. If you went that far to get to the pump, why not actually just replace it with a better one or add a inline pump?
Many people run kb boostapumps on supercharged GTOs, and even magna charger supplies you with one called a magna volt with a blower kit. They are a temporary fix at best. I can't tell you how many people have had their magna volt voltage booster burn out after not long periods of time. Depending on how it's setup the pump will just not turn on until you bypass the burned out regulator (car dies while driving/at idle). Some people had their pressures drop and (luckily they had fp gauge and watch it) almost toasted their motor because they were WOT when this happened. Are you able to add a inline pump or change the stocker in the tank? Might as well pull the one out of the tank and see what it is so maybe it can be swapped with a common aftermarket one while you are right there... Only takes a second to pop it out. Interested to see the results on the cars though |

I don't think it would matter IF you doubled the transfer fuel pump's voltage... the HPFP will only put out so much "set" high pressure AND flow so much fuel. It does not matter how much fuel your transfer pump can "push" foward and out of teh tank... the HPFP up front will ultimately determine HOW much fuel flows and HOW much fuel pressure there is for the engine to use.

Long term effect on the LPFP I guess will be a question mark... A for effort!

people have been doing this in multiple turbo platforms for a while, its just a bandaid fix really. Usually done by people who were too cheap to buy a better pump
In our case, not sure if there are aftermarket LPFP available, so this might for till there is |

Here is the voltage / PWM output using a KB boost a pump. It's interesting that the controller happily passes through it's input voltage. Which means you could in theory just boost the voltage and let the OEM controller logic handle the duty cycle to ensure you never over worked the pump.

I'm sure sooner or later someone will develop a better hpfp that will come with a aftermarket lpfp to work together and support a large a punt of power.. |

Just curious, has anybody looked at what the actual stock voltage is (@ WOT) going to the low pressure pump?
I ask this because I run a stage 3 srt-4 as my weekend toy, and it too suffers from the samee type of problems that it sounds like people are running into here. for the srt-4, the feed wire is 18-awg (not kidding) so you loose as much as 1-2v by the time the power gets from the FP relay in the front, to the in-tank pump at the rear. Guys with scan gauges switched the feed wire to 12-awg and saw a considerable increase in AFR at WOT just by switching the wire. I personally run 10-awg from a separate relay to a high-volume walbro 255 pump. Anyways thought I'd add the suggestion about checking the voltage of the feed wire.
