Boondockers high output intank fuel pump?

I bought the high output intake fuel pump from boondockers for my turbo m1000 and I have it here and have no info on it at all. I was thinking paper work would have been sent with it but all i have here is a fuel pump. Can anyone help me so I can put this together. thanks!
feel free to call me if you want.

Fuel pump

Just pull the one out of the tank and replace it its not that complex.
 
I should have more then just the fuel pump to put on. I should have been sent the pressure reg parts too. I have the stock pump out of the tank and yes the pump is very easy to put on but not if im missing parts. Having paper work will let a person know if parts are missing and a good way to go about putting parts on.
thanks for posting guys

Hey Kevin, I'm cornfused??? Doesn't the high flow fuel pump need to run off of another power source? The stock pump electrical supply won't run it???....or will it?
 
the stock will not power it.

You need a dc converter on 09 and newer and the use the access plug. If you don't they will only bold like 20 lbs.
 
So are these high flow pumps DC? I believe the stock one is AC. Just wondering if these are new or if they have been around a while. I have an in tank pump for my race kit and it is an AC pump.

The stock one is definitely DC. I'm pretty sure that you are probably running a dc pump right now. All of the high flow pumps are originating in the automotive world and it's a 12 v DC world.
 
How can the stock pump be DC when fuel pump coil on the stator is unregulated? That would make it AC power, this is what is confusing me.
Can a pump run on both AC and DC?
 
Boondocker is setting up their fuel system differently than the other turbo builders. They are using the stock fuel pump circuit and adding additional voltage and amperage to it by pulling additional power from the lighting coil and adding it to the fuel pump circuit. This is keeping the load on the stator balanced b/c all coils are being used. Often fuel systems are run so they start on the stock fuel pump coil then use a relay to switch to the lighting coil where additional amperage is available. This leaves the stock fuel pump coil with no load while the sled is running, unless you add something like EGTs, Aux injectors or and A/F gauge to that coil.

Back to the boosting the fuel pump/fuel pump circuit. This is done through the fuel booster board. On the booster board you have a high voltage side that is pushing 21ish VDC out to the pump. The board is proprietary so I don't know the details of how it's done but I know higher voltage is being used and creating a Variable DC drive of sorts. If the OP is replacing his pump, and using the booster board, then he must be running a 08 or older M1000. The replacement pump isn't necessary on the 09+.

To the OP, I believe you are going to need to switch the polarity on the wiring in the tank going to the pump. You need to contact BD and get some clarification on what exactly you have and how they want you to hook it up.

Should include a copper cap which needs to be pressed onto the stock pressure regulator, a 90 degree push in fitting that threads into the copper cap. 1/8" polyline that runs from the pressure regulator to the EBC and Airbox.

BigHoe is correct. On my 08' M8 I had to switch the polarity.

That's a cool question. I believe you are correct it is unregulated, or barely regulated, but it does get rectified in the ECU to DC. I believe the coil was designed for a specific load and was sized so that the load of the pump would keep the voltage relatively stable and not need a lot of regulation.

I don't know if the pump could run off of AC, I just know it isn't in this circuit. Hope this helps.

I got to talk to BD a few months ago and they have come up with some sort of cool way to overdrive the stock pump to higher flow. If I remember what they said it would only work with 09 and newer. Hope I got that right

Sorry for taking so long to repost, I was missing the copper cap which needs to be pressed onto the stock pressure regulator, the 90 degree push in fitting that threads into the copper cap and the 1/8" polyline. So once i got those parts the sled was up and running in about an hour.

Im running 42 to 45 PSI fuel pressure now at about 2000 RPMs.
