Has anyone changed the LPFP at Stage 2+?
« on: March 21, 2013, 10:26:18 am »
Was talking to Alex about this and considering it. I know people have changed it at WMI stage, stage 3 etc but was wondering if anyone had taken this step at 2+?

Also spoken to Alex as was considering it at STage 2+ as mine makes a squeaky noise not just the priming buzz...

Perhaps a mini GB if the benefits can be quantified at this level of tune?

My take on this is a mod should add some tangable benefit.
If your present lpfp is meeting or exceeding the requested vs actual pressure output and also supplies enough petrol to maintain your hpfp fuel rail pressure then the mod would be a pointless expenditure.

i have read about a few failing?

Personally i think there is benefit to changing a part that could potentially fail as the miles pile on, maybe to an updated part.

What options are there for aftermarket or new oem pumps?
