Ok this is severely interesting to me, but one question I must ask. If this is cheaper, better, and easier for all parties involved, then why continue to offer your original stage 2 design that utilizes the stock bucket?

We see no reason to remove it as some people will still need/want that option.

If you want to run your car in low fuel conditions and do hard cornering and accelerations without having to upgrade to a better filter, then we'd recommend sticking with the traditional bucket setup and utilizing our DIY option for the best value.

However if you want to take advantage of the additional capacity and know and accept the limitations of wide open throttle accelerations when the tank is below a 1/16, then it's a good option and value for you. While we don't have official pricing on the custom filters yet, it's looking like those will come in at about $150 and $300 respectively. They are not cheap but if the additional capacity allows you to meet your goals without additional upgrades, that is a win/win. It'll be up to you to choose the option that fits your driving style and supports your power goals.

Frankly, we never intended to offer the standard filter option when we started this endeavor. However, much to our surprise when testing, it was much more functional than we anticipated.

We have a half mile event tomorrow and we'll be taking that car. We'll run the tank down and do some runs. As we said, doing normal 3rd and 4th gear runs down to 1/16 of a tank was no issue but this will give us the opportunity to do longer extended runs.

What if I have the Stage 2 LPFP already? What are my options then? Sell it after I buy the bucketless?

in for one. where do the return line go? any tips for installation?

This is a very simple plug and play installation. No modifications are needed and your stock bucket (and wiring) remains in tact to be re-installed at any time.

The return lines just sit on the bottom of the tank, their only function is to transfer fuel from the driver's side to the passenger side.

BTW: What was the reason for using cotter pins and not something else? I had a hard time getting them bent so the float was on tight enough

install was really easy, after watching install video twice, I installed in around 30 minutes. and I agree with the cotter pin comment, kinda hard to bend them, so only the long side was bent on mine. I was like meh good enough. gas levels look to be accurate so I'm not worried.

I don't get this. Are you maxing out your lpfp with your set up but not needing a beefier upgrade then the same pump minus bucket? Where in the spectrum of upgrades would someone be if this were the case? Genuinely interested, not trying to be abrasive if coming off that way.

My guess, and I may be wrong, but I imagine he is or planning to be hovering around the 600 whp mark on 100% e85 and is looking to take advantage of the added flow that the Bucketless options provides, and at the same time isn't wanting to run say our stage 3 LPFP offering & deal with wiring etc...

Just a hunch, but I could be totally off base.

Wow, if one Wally 450 will support that with the bucketless set up that is very impressive.

Side note, Stacey David talked about these in tank filters recently on a recent-ish episode of Gearz. They look pretty slick, kudos for making a compatible one for us.

Hey guys,

This was long overdue, but we were finally able to get onto the dynojet and lay down some HP #s with our bucketless LPFP.

This was done on our 135i that is running our Platinum Port Injection kit on Arizona's "E85" (E52). It's running the latest BMS E85 flash that targets 11.9:1.

600whp was no problem, not bad for a single pump that is plug and play, under $400 and you still get to keep your original LPFP for returning to stock or dealer visits :D;)
