      Vaporworx

      Hello all,I'm back working on my 72 chevelle since my c6 z06 has been assembled blast owning and driving.
      I just purchased the Aeromotive 66136 - Aeromotive BoostWorx Returnless ZL1 Pulse Width Modulation Kit
      Im using a ricks restomod 69 camaro tank that i got for a real good deal.
      I plan to use a 5th gen camaro 1le pump i also picked up cheap.
      My engine is a ly6 6.0 with ls3 heads,manifold, and fuel rails and injectors.
      I need some photos on how you guys mounted your pwm,and how it was wired,at the moment I have the stock ss chevelle gauges, and wiring harness.
      Any help would be appreciated.

      72 chevelle.

      I mounted mine on the inner wheel tub. I ran the harness over the edge of the trunk pan and down across the tank using the same hole as the fuel sender wires.

      Chris,I'm using an HPI LS swap harness,that has a feed and output side of its relay,but aren't wired but hpi provides 2 black terminals to complete the circuit, the vaporworx pwm installation instructions say use pin D for 12v + fuel pump enable/turn on,and pin H,yellow wire ecm fpe ground
      Is it wired straight to my swap harness or do I need to pin it thru the connector?
      Btw I called aeromotive and they sent my call to Carl in Colorado, but he never picked up or got back to me??

      I'm using the CTS-V pump to my instructions don't have an H pin. The fuel pump out from the relay should got to the D terminal through the plug that mates to the blue.
      Looking at the instructions on Aeromotive for the 66162(i just picked one) it seems like its for an aftermarket fuel pump, I'm assuming that's what you're using? From what I gather in the the instructions, you would not use the yellow wire because that's for ECM's that have a negative pump trigger. The blue is for ECM with a positive pump trigger signal which the LS has.
      The negative wire from your fuel pump would attach to the vaporworx controller where the negative battery terminal connection also goes.

      Post some pics of your harness and the instructions. I’m having a bit of a hard time following you.

      If your harness has a relay you simply connect the relay 12 volt output to the 12 volt connection on the vaporworx controller. The ground on the Vaporworx controller goes to battery/ chassis ground. This shouldn’t be complex.

      I'm with Don, the wiring on these is really straightforward. You may be overthinking the relay. Just wire it up as HPI said but the output that they say goes to the fuel pump goes to the vaporworx.

      Also check to make sure that the pinout on the 8 way connector preinstalled on the vaporworx matches the instructions. Otherwise it will do some weird things.

      Will do.
      Yeah ive been over thinking,and overwhelmed of late.
      Dad passed away in August, and I have my 79yr old mom living with my wife and I.

      Have been doing a bathroom remodel and had to put a new countershaft, and whole gear set in the c6 z06 tr6060, which is time consuming, but not hard.

      Gotta make lemonade with the lemons life gives sometimes!

      Donny,do you have experience installing the Hpi LS swap harness kits?

      Please post the instructions that came with your harness that describe the fuel pump control and relay.

      Just connect the fuel pump power from your harness to the blue wire on the vaporworx. The wire I circled in red.

      It sounds like I should skip calling Aeromotive and go straight to Carl with questions. Is he still at the vaporworx number?

      Carl sold vaporworx to Aeromotive and now he works for them managing their engineering.

      Use only one of the trigger-on wires, not both.

      In this case the blue 12v would be appropriate. Either the FPE coming from the ECM or the output from the relay that would normally power the fuel pump positive.

      Hey Don,

      The latest version of the pwm controllers have a negative trigger option as well for turn-on. Not many ECM's use negative, but a crafty person could figure a way to use it to turn the controller on with the engine off ;-)
