  1. Thanks for the info. I'd be really happy with 260rwkw, has this been done on an EcoLPI? Mine is a street car and I love the low-midrange of this engine, mostly looking to increase that even further. Sounds like increasing the max fuel pump rpm a little bit probably wouldn't be worthwhile or needed to achieve that. Increase in top end would only be a bonus as it rarely sees high rpm.
  2. Thanks Roland, any info about where to find the parameters to pass on to my tuner?
  3. From Ford doco on the EcoLPi fuel system - "The fuel pump is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and has six speeds ranging from (425-3200 rpm) The pump speed is dependant on engine load and priming conditions." From the wiring schematics, the fuel pump speed is controlled by a pulse width modulation single (circuit ID 928) outputted from pin 819 on PCM-B. Can PCMtec staff (or anyone with first hand knowledge) please confirm whether this output is accessible and changeable using PCMtec Any info and details appreciated. Thanks
  4. Yeah makes sense. I'm not worried about reliability either, have seen too many gas 4.0 falcons go close to or over the million kms with minimal maintenance and varying levels of mistreatment. Despite the rods potentially being a weak link I'd still be interested in the potential of the EcoLPI with some mild boost, say 6psi from a positive displacement blower. Would make for an awesome responsive and torquey drive. Have no doubts the engine would cope if it was tuned well. The uncertainties are: - Does the factory EcoLPI ECU/pcmtec have the ability to tune for boost (maybe a MAP sensor swap to one from a turbo needed?) - Would the factory fuel pump and injectors have enough headroom to provide the extra fuel needed in liquid form to the cylinders Cheers
  5. Awesome, thanks for confirming. Wonder if lower potential for detonation with liquid gas injection was a factor in that decision, or whether it was just a cost saving. Cheers
  6. Thanks for the info, can I ask what the source is? Nothing personal but a lot of incorrect info gets around on forums. Seems a strange decision for Ford to increase compression and reduce rod strength in the same engine, especially seeing as historically they've used higher strength ones in the gas engines. Cheers
  7. Hello all, I'm wondering what has been tried already in the way of modding and tuning with the EcoLPI platform. I've only read about one case where somebody has modded and tuned one, and it was done by Independent Motorsports who changed cams, exhaust and intake, tuned and made 190rwkw. https://www.independentmotorsports.com.au/blog/ford-falcon-ecolpi-development/ Wondering if anyone has found the limits of the factory fuel system yet. Particularly interested in whether anybody has tried adding boost of any sort, but any info would be good. The cooling effect of the liquid LPG injection combined with high octane and high compression is an appealing idea, but not if major/expensive/unknown fuel system mods would be needed for 200+rwkw. Have heard of the Orbital LPI system being fitted to a BF GT with great results which suggests it's got a bit of headroom left. Whether all Orbital LPI systems are the same, I'm not sure. Cheers
