I have 3 designs about 85% done and just need to pick the ONE to finish and start machining it.
I keep going back and forth on if I want it to be PnP with a 100% stock fuel system or not.
To keep install easy, I am building this one to directly replace the stock fuel pump, rather than work with it from the other side of the tank.
Well, the stock pump module has the filter and regulator built in. So, if I am replacing it entirely, I have to incorporate an internal filter and regulator if I want this to be PnP with a stock fuel system like the first generation RRP. But adding that stuff makes it a lot more complex to manufacture and of course expensive, and the gadgets displace surge capacity.
Right now I am leaning towards internal filter only... so that it works with our S1 and S1.5 return systems. If I dont at least put a filter inside this RRP, than people will need to add an external one which is a hassle, like our S2SE fuel system which is total overkill for guys running below 600hp.
But I know that lots of guys wont be happy having to buy a $550-600 S1 fuel system just to use the RRP if they have all-motor cars that would otherwise never need a fuel system upgrade, therefore pushing me to integrate a regulator too.
These decisions are what delay product development more than anything! I should just flip a coin and move on with it.
