Product Description

A unique feature of DPFMUs, as opposed to mechanical FMUs with fixed ratios, is that their pressure and flow curves can be customized for various engine applications
This DPFMU has 15 independent adjustment bands that can be adapted to ranges of 1-30 PSI of boost or all engine rpm
The controller will also work with 0-5 Volt input signal types such as mass air flow signals and throttle position signals
There's an LCD readout and easy programming built in, so there's no need for a laptop
The system can also be purchased as a complete system for late model Mustang return-less

Questions & Answers

Does anyone have experience with the advertised 0-degree Celsius temperatures What are the features of the 5V scale? There is no mention of this feature or how to use it in the instructions online. ?

That scale feature simply means you can connect it to a throttle body or mass airflow sensor that are capable of increasing or decreasing their voltage and thus causing the pump controller to increase or decrease their Generally, people, including myself, use RPMs to send more or less voltage to it in order to increase or decrease the speed of the pump. I am really pleased with the way it works!

What does it control? Is that the Bosch 044 fuel pump?

Fuel heating and vapor formation are minimized with the Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Control (FPSC) P/N 16306 mounted on any pump on any type of vehicle By matching the duty cycle of the fuel pump to the engine RPM, lock problems can be avoided.

I assume I can use this controller instead of my stand alone relay. That's a reasonable assumption, isn't it?

Observe that this solely uses a tach signal wire, and that the transition point between low and high pump speeds is set manually by holding the vehicle at the rpm you desire and then pressing In addition to power and tach signal wires, it does not need any more inputs. Everything else is arranged

Could you please let me know if this works with the aem 340lph fuel pump? Thanks. Will the fuel pump controller function in the same way as in a Subaru?

This is a good question to ask. Some PWM controllers work with electric fuel pumps, but not all of them. There is no connection between my Bosch 044 and either the Aeromotive or Weldon. The kHz the controller sends will depend on what the fuel pump works at and is capable of receiving. As for replacing a stock fuel pump controller, it will all come down to price. Replacement is not recommended unless you have modified the engine in a way that alters the flow of fuel. br>The Aeromotive uses a tachometer signal for its 2 step action. One of the speeds is slow and the other is fast. Weldon 14000 fuel pump speed control. It can be adjusted at what revs you want it to step up or down from slow to fast. The circuit is running off a dial with a race switch and 13KHz. A dial can be manually controlled from 0 to 150 mph by the driver, which is located close to the driver. With the turn of a dial, you'll get 100%. When pushed with full throttle, the race switch will instantly provide 100% fuel flow. It can also get setup with a toggle switch or a button that prevents fuel flow if the full throttle switch is not used. Depending on the model, fuel pump controllers can be controlled by either the carburetor or engine control unit. The rate of increase or decrease can sometimes be calibrated to increase and or decrease according to the load, throttle position, rpm, and etc.

It is really helpful to have an aeromotive fuel pump speed controller

Five) a Bosch 044 and an adjustable pressure regulator to a surge tank. My old carburetor at 4 has been replaced by this system so that I can easily switch from it. The Carter BBD (at 5 psi) is measured in comparison to the early Howell TBI computerized carburetor at 14 psi and the new Holley BBD at 64 psi. This is equal to five pounds per square inch. Each one of them has been problematic for me and I've had to switch fuel systems and fuel filters It's a pity that fuel pumps are still around. As a result, I designed and hand built a custom fuel system that allows me to switch from one carburetor to another by simply changing the carburetor connection and adjusting the pressure regulator as needed. The combined output of the 2 lift pumps is 90 gallons per hour, while the Bosch 044 is rated at around 80 gallons per hour at low pressure. When there is a higher pressure, fewer gallons per hour are pumped. In the current setup, the two lift pumps are the key, as they transfer more fuel to the surge tank than it would take the Bosch 044. Having the capability to slow down the Bosch 044 allows the old carburetor to run on 4 if the old one was set to 4 while the new one is set to 1. 2) when idling or going very slowly, such as A second benefit to slowing down the surge tank pump (Bosch 044) is that it helps to reduce and or eliminate When the engine is not running and the fuel pumps are running or the engine idles, the amc 258 idles at 600-700 RPM. Burning fuel very slowly at 650 rpm means very little is being used. It may have been a Bosch 044 fuel pump and it was surging, because cavitation usually happens when the fuel pump is running. In addition to eliminating the surging, slowing down the pump also helps to make it more quiet and smooth. It also lowers heat and the chance of vapor lock, in addition to cavitation. During the summer, when the temperature is over 100 degrees, I rock crawl through the Arizona Desert High heat reflects off the rocks, making it feel like it's 120 degrees or more. It is made of braided stainless steel fuel lines in the fuel system, which help dissipate the heat generated by the fuel as it passes from the fuel tank to the surge tank and back again. Two feed lines per lift pump go to the surge tank. There is a return line from the surge tank that takes fuel circulated by the lift pumps back to the surge tank. An automatic fuel regulator works as a bypass valve that takes fuel out of the fuel tank and returns it, depending upon pressure and how much fuel is burned. There is also a return line for using the Howell TBI or Holley BBD, but the Holley BBD doesn't need it, so you can use the Holley BBD with its own return line or just cap it It took me only a few minutes to install the Aeromotive fuel pump speed controller. The fuel pump can be set to run slowly, or at a slow speed, and can also be changed to run at This signal is controlled by the tachometer. The stock setting according to instructions is roughly 50% up to around 3,300 rpm, then goes to full speed at around 3,300 rpm. The stock settings appear to take the speed to 100% around 3,000 rpm's in my case. It is possible to install an override switch which enables 100% to be automatically enabled. It does not sound like the Bosch 044 slows down by 50% on the stock settings, it sounds more like 75%, but there is definitely a slowdown. As soon as the fuel system is turned on, the pump runs at 100% for several seconds before slowing down, the change in sound is evident when it slows down from 100% when starting the fuel system. Due to the fact that I have my fuel pumps installed separately from all other electrical devices, I can start and shut off the fuel system through the fuel pump itself. I will probably play around with the settings a bit, as the slower I run the engine the better, and since this is a slow speed rock crawling engine that starts out pulling at 600 RPM's and then only gets up to 4,000 RPM's. A large supply of fluid must not be added to the system at a rate of 600 gallons per hour With a 1,000 hp engine, I usually run 600 to 1,200 rpms with short bursts to 1,500 rpms when rock crawling. The speed of street driving depends on traffic volumes, and it can range from 1,000 rpm to 2,500 rpm. Aeromotive's fuel pump speed controller is a must-have upgrade for my custom fuel system since it controls the flow rate of fuel to the engine.

I like the way it looks Getting it on the car is still awaiting completion

Update I'm happy with how it works. In the end, the site and pdfs pertaining to the device were very helpful. A canbus rpm adapter and resister they recommended to eliminate EMI in the signal worked perfectly.

The quality is excellent, as I have come to expect from Aeromotive. Using the controller, you will be able to reliably control.

Installed in a few minutes. Thanks a lot! We were pleased with every aspect of our experience. My 1969 Mustang will be equipped next with o2 sensors and a mixture gauge so I can tune the holly during the next step.
