PM5 - Brushless Fuel Pump Controller
- High-Power Brushless Fuel Pump Controller for Automotive Racing Applications
- Available with optional Integrated Voltage Boosting up to 24Vdc
- Unlike inferior "repurposed brushless OEM" or "repackaged hobby RC" controller solutions where a controller originally intended for Pump X is saddled with Pump Y, which limits the pump's usable duty range and eventually causes premature failure of the controller or the incompatible pump, the PM5 can be software-configured with pump-specific profiles for most popular brushless pumps including:
- TiA (ex Walbro) E5LM (aka Unobtanium / BMW 16-11-7-212-585)
- Bosch (BMW Gen 1 / DeatschWerks DW440) Black-Top
- Bosch (DAZA) White-Top
- Siemens VDO (BMW Gen 2 / Supra) White-Top
- PM5 interfaces directly with the factory and aftermarket Engine Management systems and eliminates diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
- Fully programmable/configurable pump duty input/output control with our easy to use TorqBLPM PC software
- TorqBLPM software provides live-viewing, data-logging and playback of ECU-commanded vs. Pump-actual duty helping to diagnose ECU tuning or fuel system mechanical issues
- PM5 is the first and only LPFP driver solution on the market that allows the ECU perform complete closed-loop control of the requested fuel system pressure regardless of what aftermarket LPFP is used.
- Can be reconfigured for driving most popular brushless LPFPs including TiA E5LM, Bosch/DW Black Top, Bosch/DAZA White Top, VDO/BMW/Supra White Top
- Supports big turbo setups by removing the traditional LPFP fueling bottleneck and permitting the fuel system to hold any ECU-requested pressure
- A truly scalable solution. The PM5 can be reconfigured for different brushless pumps as the user's setup changes allowing each pump to be safely operated over its entire duty range.
- The PM5 is available in either standard battery voltage or optional voltage boosted variants.
- A secondary PM5 used to control a second brushless LPF can be slaved to the primary PM5 controller and configured completely independently of the primary pump/controller.
- Works with any LPFP set-up that draws less than 38A at peak load and peak duty. With the PM5 you are not sacrificing future flexibility and limiting your options by using a fueling solution that only lets you use one particular LPFP make/model
- Works with any ECU tuning package, or even without any ECU tuning at all. With the PM5 you are not limiting your options by using a fueling solution that forces you to use only one vendor's ECU tuning suite.
- Integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's factory electrical systems
- Available with universal unterminated wiring or with vehicle-specific Plug-n-Play Harness Adapters that transfer maximum power to the LPFP sender through thicker 12AWG (4.0mm^2) or 10AWG (5.0mm^2) wires - a feature not available with inferior solutions that reuse the factory PWM control module with its thin factory LPFP wiring
- Reliable, easy to install and operate.
- Overdesigned using the highest-quality automotive and industrial grade electronic components that far exceed the operating ratings and endurance of the vehicle's OEM electronic modules
- Built and tested in Canada
Torqbyte PM5 is an advanced brushless low-pressure fuel pump (LPFP) driver module designed to be used as either a generic brushless pump controller or a complete Plug-n-Play replacement for the factory VAG/Audi brushless fuel pump PWM control module in order to overcome the challenge of increased fueling in VAG returnless direct injection fuel systems where the ECU and the factory fuel pump pulse width modulator (PWM) control module perform closed loop control of the fuel system line pressure.
Unlike brushed fuel pump controllers, brushless pump controllers are uniquely tuned for the specific pump they are supplied with. It is generally impossible to attach a mismatched brushless fuel pump to a particular brushless controller and expect the combination of two to provide long-term, trouble-free and reliable operation. Generally, a mismatch between the pump controller and the attached pump will result in reduction of usable pump duty range (limiting the pump's performance and requiring tuning "bandaids" to compensate) as well as overheating and eventual failure of either the controller or the pump.
