Title: JMS vs Kenne Bell Boost a Pump.
Post by: StinkinLinkin13 on March 09, 2020, 10:06:18 PM
Why hasn't anyone seemed to try these products with our notoriously weak lpfp system? They seem to have good feedback on other platforms. I know I'm having issues with my lpfp maintaining pressure as per my tuner. Just wondering if anyone has any actual feedback results.

I think one of your LMS brothers tried a boostapump with his upgraded HPFP with no success.  Ended up going with a DW upgraded in tank pump.

I've actually been working with AJP since Oct. Unfortunately I've been hitting snag after snag with SCT and their device. Only managed about 3 revisions in all that time to no fault of Brad. I saw LMS is using a boost a pump along with a DW upgraded lpfp and injectors on a full e85 SHO build. Just not sure if or why the boost a pump wouldn't be any benefit on its own when it works so well on other platforms. Supposedly up to 75% increase for the street version. In theory that would be more than I need at this point for my setup. Anyhow in my case Brad feels like my pressure is lower than he's seen for my boost levels and thinks a known strategy issue might be the culprit. I'm just tired of waiting on SCT and thought the boost a pump might be a viable option/alternative...

Upgrade the in tank fuel pump.  Boost A Pump is like Boostmax or a tune that comes stock with the SCT device.  Will leave you wanting in the long run.

BTW, the Boost A Pump was used on this platform many years ago by Ecobrick Bob, well before the tuning "code" was finally cracked.

I would've bought a upgraded pump already if there was a drop in replacement that required no mods and also didn't recommend buying another new stock unit (I'm assuming just in case something gets damaged)... Crazy one still isn't available.

The DW 300c is still worth every penny. You don't need it until you have upgraded turbos, hpfp and everything else. However it was a great add on to the build. I only bought a second housing because my fuel filter was clogged.

Whos the recommended vendor/dealer for that pump? Any kits yet? Looks like I'm taking this plunge. 🤦‍♂️

Hey there!

I currently have 10 DW300C fuel pumps in stock and ready to ship. No waiting from DW direct, pay and go. Yes it requires extensive modification to the oem bucket, but the only reason I recommended previously to get a second bucket is to get new filters, a new electric module and to reduce your downtime during assembly. If you are able to leave the car down for a bit to make the modifications go for it. I just prefer a 10 minute downtime versus a 5 hour downtime and I wanted new filters since you have to reuse the OEM filter.

As for having them available turnkey, I asked DW about it but since the "kit" that comes with the DW pump is for multiple different vehicles, they weren't interested in adding stock figures to have them turnkey. They have assembled about 5 kits that I know of - myself, Jordan, and a few others so I know they can do it problem but not sure the juice is worth the squeeze for them. Perhaps if we were to get a bulk order they would be willing to do a set of 10 or something.

Is there a discount code? 😋😂 JK.. OK I'll  look on your site. Maybe provide a link to it in this thread?

One other question. Does the pump perform fine if you revert back to stock tune?

Yep, it's a mechanical pump so no tune changes required.

Installation and bucket modification instructions are there as well.

No efficiency issues then through its operating range compared to stock.  Always equal to or better than factory?

Its an electric fuel pump. I placed order a day ago. Hopefully gets shipped out soon! Thank you!

From my experience the fueling is adaptive and will adapt so no revision necessary and will be fine on stock tune

My LPFP Drive failed. Think Relay. In @StinkinLinkin13 case. Maybe his drive is going bad. Its a cheap $65 fix and usually in stock at the dealer. 10min fix.

Yes sir.  Thank you. Gonna drop it in this weekend!

@Macgyver: I was considering replacing that as well since I'm upgrading my pump. And I'm also installing a kenne bell boost a pump .
