DeatschWerks Brushless Pump & Hanger for Civic & Integra

DeatschWerks X2 Fuel Pump Hanger with DW810 Brushless Pump and Dual-Speed Controller - 92-00 Honda Civic / 94-01 Acura Integra

Once you're past what a single in-tank pump can deliver, the usual answer is two pumps. That means two sets of brushes wearing out, double the wiring, and twice as many things that can fail. A brushless pump gets you there with one. Instead of brushes rubbing against the motor's commutator, it's driven electronically by a controller. Nothing inside rubs and wears, so you don't get the brush wear that eventually kills every brushed pump. That's why the DW810 can move 815 liters per hour at 43.5 psi on its own, in a factory EG, EK, or Integra tank.

This kit puts that pump in the X2 hanger, which drops into your factory tank and reuses the OEM hanger-to-tank gasket, so nothing gets cut. DeatschWerks rates the X2 platform for over 1400 whp on pump gas in its biggest setup. Very few Hondas will ever get there, and you don't have to for this to make sense. A big-turbo B or K swap on E85 can easily need more than one brushed pump can deliver. If you're making 400 whp on gasoline, though, a single DW420 on the factory hanger is the more sensible spend.

Why the Dual-Speed Controller Matters

A brushless pump needs a controller to run at all. DeatschWerks includes a dual-speed one in this kit. Running an 815 lph pump flat out at idle and cruise wastes current and heats up the fuel, and it means the pressure regulator is bleeding most of that flow right back to the tank. Hot fuel is less dense and more likely to knock, and that's the last thing you want before a boosted pull. The dual-speed controller runs the pump slower when you're driving normally, then switches it to full speed when the engine needs it. The car's quieter on the street, the fuel stays cooler, and you still have full flow when you're on boost.

A Hanger You Can Reconfigure Later

The X2 isn't locked to this pump. It also takes two DW100, DW200, DW300, or DW420 pumps, or a single DW440 brushless. If your build changes, you won't need a new hanger. It's made from anodized aluminum. Anodizing is a hard, corrosion-resistant layer formed into the aluminum itself, so there's no paint to flake off into your tank. Power connects through M5 stainless terminals, which are solid studs instead of thin pass-through wires.

Wiring: 35 Amps Is a Lot

The DW810 draws about 35 amps at full speed. That's far more than the factory pump wiring can carry. The thin wire and the factory relay will drop voltage and can overheat. Run dedicated power and ground wire sized for that current, through a relay and fuse rated for it, following DeatschWerks' instructions. Keep the wires short and make every connection clean. A brushless pump loses flow just like a brushed one when the voltage sags.

Install Notes

Depressurize the fuel system before you open the tank. Reuse the factory hanger-to-tank gasket only if it's still soft and in good shape, and replace it if it's hard or cracked. You'll need fuel lines out to the engine bay that can carry the flow, and DeatschWerks sells optional plumbing kits for that. Leak-check every fitting at full pressure before the car comes down off the stands. A pump this big will also need injectors, a regulator, and a tune to match.
