Deatschwerks DW300C Fuel Pump Updates for 2013+ SHOs

[6500rpm]

Highly recommend using this or similar to get the fuel lock ring off. I have done it without using a lock ring tool but it sure makes it easier.

That tool makes it a breeze and it fits several makes and models. I can't tell you how many of those things I took off/on for the fuel pump tank module recall a few years back not to mention all the other cars we've pulled the tank module out of. Some are easy, some not so much, but that "style" (doesn't have to be OTC brand) and a long handle 1/2" drive ratchet is fool proof.
If someone gets a chance while switching to the DW300C pump, I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the factory pump set up and then with the DW pump installed just to see what has to be done to make it fit the tank unit.

Did the drop in replacement ever occur? I saw heavy modification as the last update with the mention of future correction?

You have to modify the OEM housing to get it to fit. I sent mine and a new assembly to DW and they installed it for me. Car has it installed now and running great.

Great to hear Jordan.

Nice to see some resulting data from it's implementation.

You just have to bore out the cradle housing as there is a lip that causes problems... clean it up and it slides in.

That's what you think via the instructions, but my pump wouldn't even fit the stock housing sock and clip. Other than just the housing needing modified for it to slip in and the bottom sock filter and clip not fitting there was one thing that just tilted me to the point of sending everything to them. No clue what they did to modify it to fit but those instructions were about the farthest thing from close. Hopefully they get all that sorted because it's keeping up great otherwise

Thought I'd throw my data that DW added when they tested a brand new OEM compared to their brand new pump

It's pretty crazy that this is the best that can be done after all this time. It must simply just not be very profitable to make a simple drop in plug in play lpfp. I remember you used to be able to find higher flowing fuel pumps easily for about anything 10- 15 years ago. All to gain about 10 hp. . Now there is way more hp left on the table and no no drop in lpfp upgrades.

Problem is they have to play nice with the PCM's why we couldn't just throw in a walbro into the car and honestly no clue on how they make money on these things. They definitely didn't make money on mine after the free installation and shipping it back on their cost.

So I've got an XDI HPFP-60 along with their upgraded +50% injectors.  I'm still running stock LPFP pump because I was trying to figure a solution that might feed more than the 300c as Matt at GH has said it still won't keep up with XDI-60, especially when running e85.

But not having much luck finding something that can feed more than the 300c on the market.  Anybody know any outfit that might be able to indulge me?  I was holding getting the 300c but now I'm figuring it would be better than nothing...

Any thoughts guys?  Thanks in advance!

You should ping Eco Power Parts ( www.ecopowerparts.com ) as Mike Bambic the owner used to sell a dual in tank pump setup that could flow enough for E85. I don’t think it’s listed anymore but if you email him he might be able to help.

I'm running the DW pump and added a Kenne Bell boost a pump. So far its holding up pretty well... My tuner says I have the best LPFP readings he's seen yet. Running stock injectors however with Livernois Firestorm HPFP. (Not severe duty.)

Did you end up doing the splice kit with the BAP? Or do they have a ford kit that actually works for ours?

KB89069 BOOST-A-PUMP 17.5V
(ALL VEHICLES - "STREET")

That's the model they said I needed. Not the Ford "plug and play". I didn't use the Boost Activation Switch so it was a super easy install. According to their directions it is not needed in Fords pulse width modulated systems.

Did you use the instructions from KB?

Yes.
