As you are contradicting their specs, why do you believe it will be limited? 4 PWM controlled fuel pumps and a 1/2” fuel line is only good for 1000hp?
I don’t believe that has changed. My kit came with a filter, but I did pull one of my buckets apart out of curiosity. They do have filter socks on the pumps and there are filter screens on the crossover pickups.
I knew I was going to need to largely handle the tuning myself (with the help of an expert) because, as you mentioned, the mainstream tuners aren’t going to venture out of their comfort zone to innovate. KPM says that they have interest from many of the larger “workshops” in the US, so if one of them actually gets onboard the others will almost certainly follow suit.
the 1500 hp fuel system is a module only, no lines, no rails. You are not making 1500 hp on a 15-17 or 18-23 car on the stock rails on e85. Nor do I belive the stock line is going to support 1500hp on e85.
For the $, the systems are very nice and work very well and certainly not outdated. They are proven systems, i would venture to guess 25-30k vehicles on the road with them. Proven systems, by a USA company, that stands and backs the product 110%. There is no better mfg to deal with.
I tried telling the tuner, you can just leave it alone, and not worry about it. The fuel is there and in my case had already been dyno and street tested/confirmed. There was NOTHING in my previous tune that controlled fuel delivery (or rather it was there, but did/affected nothing). The only consideration for the tuner was adjusting the idle pressure and from there, it maintained a constant boost indexed pressure at the rails. The ONLY hiccup we saw was that with a 150 mm throttle body and the crude whipple bypass slamming shut, there was a momentary dip in the lower rpms (but that's not typical of most people's setups). Once the smooth boost (or smoothing of the tune loading) is employed, that goes away. The return line feed serves as a flow buffer for any momentary spikes in consumption.
Well, your definition of "works" and mine are different. They work with *asterisk and caveats that we've discussed ad nauseum.
You don't need to run all 3 pumps all the time. On street car setups we run 1 pump and use a hobbs for the other 2.
The quoted numbers are based on gasoline per KPMs website, so 1500hp should be around 1000hp on E. @engineermike has some pretty solid theories that the GT500 bucket and stock size lines will make 1000hp on E, so their claim is reasonable. I personally went with the 2700hp system. My goals aren't that large, but the redundancy in pumps makes me feel better in the event of a single pump failure.
The listing is incorrect. It does not come with the filter and it cannot reasonably be integrated into the factory line. I have the filter in hand. Not sure of the threads, but it is designed to attach to the upgraded 1/2" pre-bent stainless lines.@beefcake
The "base" 1500 HP system on your website shows a fuel filter in the parts images, but not in the description of what is included. Also, it looks like it has AN ORB fittings, how would this integrate into the factory 3/8" fuel line?
