Aeromotive 1000Hp Fuel Pump

[DjGsTa]

Has anyone here used one of these pumps?

feedback would be appreciated

cheers.

hi mate, crescent motorsport in sydney , is fitting an aeromotive eliminator electric fuell pump and 2000cc injector ,my car is a f6 fg, will let u know, take care

Some years ago, they only used to have the magnets inside glued to the case. Mine was one of those, and when the thing disbonded, it stuffed the armature, smashed that magnet and left me stranded.

I believe they are now bonded AND riveted.

Can't beat that old fashioned method for long term durability.

I was very cranky at the time as it was not a cheap pump, and it stuffed it so much I just threw the thing away.

I use one of these on my XC, bout to upgrade to two.

Extremely noisy, but havent let me down yet. SX 18203.

I was looking at these, however heard mixed reports about their performance. Decided to stick with the tried and tested Twin 044 set up.

I had the a1000...........two 044's left it for dead, soon as you start running decent fuel pressure the a1000's flow dies in the ass

We've fitted a few of the A1000's and they are really good, rock solid reliable performer.

We ran 600wkws on FG ute with one off a modded PW surgetank, rail pressure was a high 90psi at idle, but that was with 80lb injectors to get the flow up, and on E85 so there was loads of flow. This is also an everyday driver and its EVERY DAY tune, so reliability is needed.

What Ive found is you need a BIG fuel supply to get the most from them, #8 lines in and out.

They are rated at 1000hp on boost applications, which equates to around 550-600kw max, where as an 044 is rated at 650hp, so two of them will support around 1300hp, so easly go well over 600kw.

Aeromotive do a 1400 and 1800hp pump of the same physical size, so if your looking at over 500wkws Id go for a A1400 or higher.

Noise levels from them vary greatly... mounting them on 4 isolation feet is a must, but also Ive found a huge difference from sitting flat and sitting on an angle.

I'm not really a fan of twin 044's, although its a very popular choice, its far from the most reliable way to fuel a system.

I'm not bagging anyone with twin 044s (or even 3) but geez, its not the 90s anymore, theres a wide choice of 1000+ hp pumps available that why would you go to the hassles of 2 pumps?

Some good points of running a big single pump...

Simple fuel lines, no 2 into 1 joiners and extra fitings, possible leaks with multiple joins/connection, extra noise ( one 044 is loud enough)

Digital control - they come with an optional digital control, works like a regulator, at idle and cruise the pumps flow is reduced, reducing noise, heat ect... step on the throttle and the voltage to the pump goes up, flow goes up.

The only main disadvantage with twin 044s is reliablility...

IF one pump fails, the car will still idle and cruise around town perfectly normal, rail pressure is controlled byt the fuel regulator, so driving around you'll never know one pump has failed.

Then you hit the gas on a nice stretch of road, all you have is the one pump and it leans out, massive lean out, engine goes bang...

At least with ONE big pump, if it fails, the car dies and you get a tow home... I'd rather pay for a towie than a new motor.

But like I said above, I'm not bagging out those with twin 044s, its kind of a natural progression in the sense that heaps of guys have an 044 on a surge tank already, and its a cheap solution to add another 044 , which is why so many do it.

I myself have twin 044s in the boot of my G6ET, mainly due to the fact I had a few 044s sitting around, so I saved myself the coin and used what I had... BUT...

I have an AEM wideband that flashes red at me IF it runs lean, so ive got a good chance of jumping off the gas IF it runs lean.

Ive also voltage regulated the pumps so they only get about 70% voltage, which is plenty for mid 400s that I run on the daily E85 tune... less voltage makes them heaps quieter.
