Yep. $285.18.

In to see how much more fuel can you get in there with this upgrade. Tony you estimating to see 20-30%?

mrbillytalent · 04-05-2013, 12:11 PM

This is such an exciting time for the n54 community... it never ends! I'm excited to see where this leads us all to!

MidwestGolfBum · 04-05-2013, 12:13 PM

It's because of the now almost constant updates for the N54 that I didn't sell my car. Definitely interested in where this goes.

joec500 · 04-05-2013, 12:40 PM

Awesome...Does this upgrade offer any advantages for people on stock turbos? Does it offer higher reliability?

I am not estimating anything. Right now I know it works, we have no idea how much extra fuel it is providing at this point without a proper pump test stand. We actually have a high pressure pump test stand we use to build and calibrate our diesel injector pumps, I very well may modify one of the brackets to run this pump, but I have not gone there yet. We will be testing it and see where the fuel runs out. Beside that I am not just gonna throw out a guess. As far as the tisher price, thats a good option for people to buy an new pump and send them while keeping their stock pump on hand for a back up. If we buy the pumps, and modify them we will offer a price break if the customer chooses to send us back their good working pump.

Thanks man,

Its all coming to an end. 6 weeks and the HPF clock is up. If Its not performing she goes back to stock and the car comes home and it goes up for sale.

Not sure what im going to do right now. If its not a single turbo i dont want it and i have to much into it to ever get my money back.

I come back to the states in 6 weeks and Must have my car. if its not done ill offer to let them keep it.

Dude you have so many other options, but as long as they can get the hardware right, which I know they can. I mean look at the other stuff they build. With tuning as far as it is, someone else can tune it for you. Don't ditch the project yet!

This will offer no benefits to cars with stock turbos

HPF should stick to the e46 m3 and do nothing else. The only thing they ever gave the n54 community was a $500 oil catch can (exaggeration of course)... Gracias por NADA bastardos.

Don't you run 100% e85 without meth? I do, but obviously don't get as much power as if I did have meth.

Yes I have been, for a few weeks, Shiv is testing some tweaks in the flash, as well as firmware I believe, I should have my car back end of next week, just waiting on my spec clutch and flywheel, the downpipes are in now, so we'll see if its possible to safely max out the stock turbo flow without any meth! That would be my dream come true.

Sorry for the

Really interested in this hpfp testing! Good work thus far Tony, your testing is much appreciated by this whole community!

Sorry, a little confused. Isn't this a potential solution to the HPFP problem that plagues the N54 cars stock or modified?

Stay FAR away from them. They used to be PTP performance. Do a search with SRT4 and John at PTP.

BMW already came up with the solution, new hpfp and software upgrade fixed it. That was 2 years ago... I find it funny people still think the 335 is plagued with hpfp issues.

This pump vtt is working on should let us get more fuel with upgraded turbos and not need meth as a bandaid.

Ok well, it sounds like you just don't want to get it running right, or have given up. I live in northern California, and you know who tuned our stage 3 car? A guy in Toronto who never laid eyes on the car and who I have never met. Yet the car broke the HP record. If your reasoning is you have no one to tune it cause you live in Kansas, then you don't want it tuned. Good luck

We have a car running 100% E85 no meth with no issues at all good fuel pressure and trims without the HPFP modifications, just the 455 Walbro. This is really only needed approaching 550 WHP and above.
