Default Fuelab variable speed controller wiring

Hi guys. I'm looking at the fuelab pumps. I was wondering how you guys are wiring them up. I would like to run it slow when cruising around and crank it up when I'm into boost. I saw manual switches used on the instructions but I'd rather have something automatic such as a hobbs type switch. I just don't know how to make it work. Anyone have any experience with this?

Im bringing this back up from the dead because I too am interested in how people are wiring the variable speed on the Fuelab pump.

Has anyone just run it full speed 24/?

If you did the 2 speed, how did you wire it to come on?

I was going to use a pressure hobb switch. Once it hit a low psi in boost it would open the circuit and go full speed.

Just use the electronic pressure regulator they sell, and she it as it was designed to be used.

I saw that but I already have my regulator setup so I was trying to avoid that.

Nice constructive post. That isn't actually the number for anyone that is looking for actual good information on ls1tech...

On another note, Ive order a pressure hobbs switch and will see how the setup works.

Instead of making a simple fone call, and asking the folks that make the product, you choose to go fishing...

Listen, the whole idea was to find out what others have done in the past that are members of LS1tech since its a forum. I could PHONE fuelab and ask but they will promote their product obviously. I went fishing by asking LS1tech and it looks like I got some guppie biting...

A Hobbs switch or some other switch to ground at WOT would do it if you don't require continuously variable operation. I ran using the regulator because it was a ground up fuel system.
