You might want to rethink that. Have you researched what it takes or what is recommended to support the twin gt pumps?

No I haven't found any research on it. What id necessary? Thanks

Your running GT pumps without a wire upgrade or a modified FPDM?

I need help ASAP.....

I have the complete swap done minus the Cobra Pumps & Cobra MAF. THe car cranks, but will not start. I am getting a 1233 code from the SCT. I just swapped the FPDM from an 03 Cobra in and still will not start. I need some help narrowing down the items to start with. I know I have fuel pressure, pumps kick on etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks

PS..I hope you're not trying to run an eaton swap with a stock pump and maf.

I did use the search feature and the results are large. Instead of directing me like a child, wouldn't it be easier to lead me in the right direction? You've obviously done the swap, so what would cause the car not to run with the stock pumps. MAF is an easy swap and I can test that if needed. I just wanted to have it fired up to bleed fuilds out and then dig into pumps etc...

I swapped the FRPS and now I have no codes. Anyone have any input?

Point in the right direction? What would you like me to do, fly to you and click on the link for you?? Just because you get 3 pages on this subject using the search button doesn't mean you just stop and wait for people to answer your question. I didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch with my first post, if I was trying to just be an Ahole I wouln't have posted the link. You want to be pointed in the right direction?? How about you finish the swap COMPLETELY and then try to figure out why the car wont start.

Here.....1 minute worth of searching....

Code 1233 is a Fuel Pump Driver Module is offline and in a no start condition. Did you change the FPDM to a modified one? Also, try re-setting the little red button inside the trunk on the left rear side by the taillights. All else fails, re-check your connections to all the wiring you messed with while installing your tank. Its pretty much plug-n-play. You might also check your fuses. I think there is a pump fuse in the power distribution block in the engine compartment by your battery. Check those fuses and make sure one isn't blown. Hope this helped

By wiring it that way, the ignition switch will carry all the load from the pump and everything else that it runs. its not meant to run a IC pump. it needs its own fuse also. it will be to much for the ignition switch to handle and can make it go out. just take that red wire that powers the pump and run it to a relay. then ground the relay, run a power wire from the battery to the relay, then the a wire from the relay to the pump. not hard and will save you trouble down the road and it will be like 10 dollars to do so its not much money.

Thank you for the info and help. Is it possible to run it to a spare fuse somewhere and achieve the same thing? Ill look into the relay as well.

Yea I saw that one a while back, good numbers. What mileage do you have on yours?

Fixed link, there are some other videos of it as well

Is the tuning done, what did it put down?

Yea tunes done. Only 15° of timing up top, fat fuel, 8psi, gt pumps, cobra hat, jlt filter, stock maf with MAFia, bassani catted X, Borla stingers, irs, predator tuned very conservative. So I can DD it and race it. Looking for longevity. 425hp/383 ft lbs. We made more power at 15° but fattened the fuel.

Very nice, we made almost identical numbers. Enjoy and dont let the power bore you otherwise you'll want more.

I dont think so. i look for a spare fuse and didnt find anything that would work. i just mounted my relay beside the filter. I ran black wires so it isnt noticeable either.

Lol, yes it has only a couple days of being finished under the belt. But I want to keep it there for awile, we'll see what happens! Hopefully when i put the car away for winter, After those couple of months, It will still be as new to me as now.

Thanks, that helps, if you could snap a photo of ur relay and wiring that would also help. If ya get a chance

Thanks man. The mach has 39k miles. And I have only put about 250 miles on it since the swap. It made 400/378 on a VERY conservative 91 octane tune. And 450/405 on a still conservative tune on E85.

What is all required to get set up for E85? E85 is everywhere around here and if it makes that much more power, what have I got to lose?

For my car I increased the injectors from 39#'s to 60#'s and added a KB boost-a-pump due to a ~40% increase in fuel consumption under WOT. I mainly switched to it since i am still on the stock long block.

here is a decent article on E-85 vs gasoline comparison.

The only thing i can complain about is when i cold start it. the car typically won't fire up for like 7-8 seconds when it is cooler outside. it could be a bit of a tuning issue?? im not sure. im going to datalog my car soon to try to fix this issue, other than that i love it. only ~2.20 per gallon and 105 octane. it seems to be good stuff
