Remove the fuel injection pump roller tappet.

Remove the fuel injection pump mounting plate.
Remove the RH front wheel and tire, refer to Section 204-04 .
Position aside the RH fender splash shield, refer to Section 501-02 .
Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft until the fuel injection pump cam lobe is at BDC

I have installed several DI pumps on this car... the only reason I can find they want the lobe BDC is to make it easier to install the pump....
On the bottom of the pump is a spring, when installing if the lobe doesn’t have the flat side up, the pump sits higher... so it makes it difficult to tighten down. You can do it, you just need to take your time and tighten a small amount on each side of the pump to bring it down flush.
You should do that anyway when you install it... I have not yet ever set BDC and haven’t had a problem yet....

You know that's exactly what I was thinking it's just to make it easier to install instead of having to fight the spring. Nice I'll be installing it when I do the Turbos and injectors.

Oh yeah he turns a wrench all day on our trucks. He is an expert on 6.7 powerstroke I have yet to find out how hell do on the Ecoboost lol but I know what I'm doing as well. I was just confused on the BDC because I didn't see a reason why when I could just install it and push the spring downSHOdded said:

Don’t “push down “ the spring... the bolts are long enough to start it without pushing the pump down...

BJ (SBS) is VERY GOOD with his "BDC" skillz.

Got it installed. Now I just need to empty my current tank and figure out what's the highest E blend I can run... But I probably won't mess with all of that till I get the turbos installed. My stockers are gone can barely hold any boost in the top end.

I don't know I haven't used the cover in a long time. I'll see about trying it on when I get a chanceSHOdded said:

So as I'm impatiently waiting for my ATPs going on 5 weeks now.
I installed my aFe throttle body spacer and I like it I feel like it really makes a difference for a cheap quick mod
I ordered some Verde axis v99 wheels 20x9 wrapped in some nitto n555g2 275/40R20 and some BC coilovers to go with it all. Hopefully there's no issues with fitment. From what I've read around there shouldn't be.
Ordered some hub centric rings which I believe are the correct size idk if they'll be needed but got them just in case.
Any opinions or thoughts?

On another note, I installed my hpfp but no one had been able to tune it, something about SCT doesn't have the software. So that really sucks. I don't if I'm the only one experiencing this issue as I haven't heard anyone else mention this before

. Thats sucky 4 sure. What software is needed exactly?BoostfoSHO

I'm sorry I didn't mean software I meant parameters for reading it. But it's not just you I have gotten the same response from 2 other tuners.... What I'd like to know is am I the first one to encounter this? Supposedly at the point all that can be tuned is current but can't adjust it for higher pressure. So why are people buying the hpfp if it can't be ran at a higher pressure like it's supposed to do.AJP turbo said:

Gearhead, Unleashed, and BCB are already tuning that pump with SCT.....
Matt has customers running at 2600 psi iirc... he has figured out how to get the pump to work properly...
The issue according to him is that none of the other tuners have figured out to increase the psi of the pump.
I’m running the LMS HPFP with perfect fuel pressure on an E30 tune.

So far with unleashed, gearhead I just get a max of around 2300psi with Brad I don't get any high pressure it's only the in-tank pump that activates and I get 90psi max and the cat doesn't go above 3k rpm, Matt and Brad told me they don't have what's needed to tune it. Matt said he can only tune voltage but that im not taking advantage of it to make it run at the higher pressure that's capable of. So it's basically like a stock hpfp.StealBlueSho said:

That makes no sense... Or Matt was lying to me which I doubt.... so you are holding 2300psi... are you getting an fuel pressure dips? It’s flowing 35% more fuel as well...
I’m figuring it’s like a turbo right? 2300psi but 35% more fuel gives you a lot more to work with...
15psi on a small turbo is not the same as 15psi on a big turbo... Volume comes into play...
