LPFP development

Hello, I have been working on upgrading the LPFP to a single unit that can flow enough for full E85 on upgraded turbos, is plug and play, no splicing, and no relays or extra fuel lines needed.

From what I have read, the issue seems to be when running full E85, the fuel rail pressure drops because of the higher flow needed when running E85.

Running an upgraded LPFP may alleviate this issue because it will vastly increase the volume of fuel flowing to the HPFP's, potentially eliminating the pressure drop.

Is there an interest for this type of thing?

Has anyone else dug into the LPF system besides Fuel-it?

Yes they do, but it requires splicing wires and running new fuel lines

The Fuel-It lpfp works great. Even with a solid lpfp seton you still need PI to handle big power.

Thank you for commenting in my thread

Has any one tried just an upgraded LPFP before? I searched thoroughly and didn't find anything
