turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 11m 10d Gender: Male Posted 28/09/10 09:53 AM Share Posted 28/09/10 09:53 AM 044s have a mind of their own. Intank they are OK but externally they are too noisy when they get a bit warm. Winter OK, come summer with the heat of the road radiating up and they are embarassingly noisy.Having a surge tank close to the road/engine/exhaust is another flaw many make as a radiating heats just makes matters worse.

PSI40L Member 175 Member For: 22y 2m 23d Posted 07/12/10 02:39 AM Share Posted 07/12/10 02:39 AM Tuners can actually rectify the problem by decreasing the voltage to the pumps when at idle and giving the pumps total voltage when they are at open throttle vcm suite allows u to do this . at idle the can be quiet and at full swing the motor is too loud anyway . I guess that's the difference between tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tune with HPT/VCM suite and dont see how its possible. I also dont see how the hardware driving the fuel pumps on our cars allows this too happen.I know the returnless GM's use variable pump voltage to control fuel pressure etc, but consider our cars pumps are relay switch by the PCM i dont see the facility to vary the current as per the GM's...??
