EcuTek Releases Phase 2 RaceRom !!

Even if you have a car with a pump controller like subaru or gtr, logging fuel pump duty isn't very useful using OEM hardware. It's really only used to make sure the fuel pump isn't overrunning the fuel pressure regulator at idle.

We found this out when we started wiring fuel pressure sensors to the ecu to monitor fuel pressure on bigger powered setups.. we found hardwire 485s was causing major fuel pressure creep at idle! I ended up making a plug and play hardwire kit that allow you to keep variable ecu control pump speed with all the advantages of going direct to battery power

On brush-less fuel pumps we can make the speed of the pump very variable using certain pump controllers + custom ecutek code.

Now do a need a bigger one

Not a single hp.

If someone shows gains going from pump to ethanol they should probably spend more time on their pumpgas map.


Now 91octane is a different story, they're gains to be had !

e85 is something i have used before ( on different cars ) and would like to use on the Z if there is a benefit

thanks!
