Who all has money and is ready for a CDFP upgrade? I'd like to know what the scene is looking like right now... Post up and I wanna make a list. I'm gauging interest because I might be offering upgrades soon... $549/$899 through PG.

The list begins... NOW (silly)

Id for sure be interested if I didnt already have one. The pump is a huge improvement over stock when you have bolt ons.
 
Whats the difference goig to be between the pump you're offering and PG's? Has PGs changed since the initial prototype?

PG's status is temporarily on hold as they are switching manufacturers for the initial design. What I am offering is the same exact kit that was used in producing Paleriders, Laloosh's, chriscc (build a beast), driver311... etc.

They're not changing overall design (as far as I know), but they are switching company's which manufacture the parts.

I would hold liability for any damage to the pumps for seizure, and would replace the pump if it seized. The only seizure really possible is in the up position, and if that occurs, you'd go into limp mode. No big deal, I sent out new kit, everything is all good again...

Thank you Kevin

(evil) No prob bro.
 
we have not decided 100% yet to switch suppliers. i am leaning towards it, but the latest few pumps that shipped out seem to be in working order. i would like if possible to stick with the current supplier and work out my issues with them, but that depends on them.

perhaps i am misreading this, but by using the exact same parts we're using, you're implying our assembly is at fault moreso than the parts themselves. if thats your opinion i have no problem with that, but i would rather you let us know what - if anything - you feel we are doing wrong which would cause these pumps to fail when it is pretty clear that improper machining is the cause. perhaps thats not the message you intended to convey, but it is how i interpreted it.

your help in getting our pump to market was instrumental despite the well advertised drama involved in doing so, and i value your input and help on its continuance. if you would rather do your own with the parts we've been seeing problems with, i have no issue with that or any other kind of competition, just be careful with the parts and people supplying them to you.

thanks Ken for your comment, PM sent (rockon)
 
Driver after yours seized on the dyno you got a replacement? How long has it been on? Thanks ...

My first pump never seized....in fact the characteristics were VERY good except some strange lean codes in low rpms. It is well documented that some of our cars goes lean with a hump around 2500-3000 rpms. Mine made this worse... I now have a tuning solution, and its going to go back on with the intent to tune it if necessary.

Mines the only one to respond like this to my knowledge. It may be MS CAI Ive got on there or just my particular setup. Thoughts would be welcome!!

Ken graciously sent me a second pump to try... I did not get it on so I sent it to Driver311. After 3 days it is my understanding that the second pump, on Driver311's car, is doing fine.... he can vouch for this though. Im excited for him!!!!

PG has been fantastic in their support of this for us out here with these pumps. And now to support Jon(mrlilguy) in his endeavors on his own is just amazing to me....wow. I have never once felt like I was alone, "stuck", trying to figure this out. Kudos to PG and the whole community for sticking together here. I just cant stress enough the ridiculous support and communication I got from the whole staff at PG....

These things really make quite a difference on our cars. Everybody stay on board here... its a HUGE upgrade and a mod that I think everybody will eventually want if their really trying to get the most out of their car.

Mine goes back on this week... Ive tweaked the ECU sensor position, and will be testing it on the dyno as well. I'll be posting my results along with everybody else.

The only thing I wonder, and I don't think it would influence me either way has many have stated they will be tuning with the AP and sharing maps, is if I get this, how would it affect the use of a Cobb AP? I mean, I would think it would be a great combo, tuning+a new pump. But thats just me.
 
Can anyone else comment on Pale's experience? Why would adding a cdfp make the "lean hump" worsen? I also have the MS CAI so just wondering if it needs to be pulled off or what if I upgrade the cdfp ...

Pale, are you the only one so far with a MS CAI and the upgraded pump? Do you have a CEL when these lean codes surface? Thanks...
 
Cobb AP wont affect the operation of this pump. Later down the road when they offer the tuning package that allows us to make our own changes, we should see parameters for adjusting the fuel pump to our needs. This will help us fine tune these beasts. Believe me, 10 months down the road, some of us will need this.
