Tawf, best to change out your plugs asap, on Kent's car I pulled the plugs after around 3k kms and the plugs were already worn down, gap was up to .32 and the tips were noticeably worn down.

I looked up those DTCs in the Bentley Service Manual which gives different definitions depending on the different P-Codes for the same BMW FC. 29E0 - P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1) - P2188 System Too Rich at idle (Bank 1) 29F1 - P3283 Fuel pressure Control Adaptive Fuel Volume Out of Range (Bank 1) - P3284 Fuel pressure Control Adaptive Fuel Volume Implausible (Bank 1) 2A2B - P0172 System Too Rich (Bank 1) 2AAE - P1214 Fuel Pumps Feed Too High - P1215 Fuel Pump Speed Too Low - P1216 Fuel Pump Emergency Operation - P1217 Fuel Pump Over Temperature Condition What does all of that tell you, I am not sure. It certainly appears that something is haywire with the fuel system especially in Bank 1. It could be an injector playing up in Bank 1 or these could be the result of the LPFP being inconsistent. Your latest datalog (April 17) shows the LPFP quickly dropping pressure around 5,800-6,000rpm in each gear. As you stated, it appears that the secondary pump is turning off. A drop in flow from the LPFP would cause the HPFP to struggle and drop pressure at the same time which your log shows. What psi setting do you have your Hobb switch set at? I have the same setup i.e. FueliT Stage 3 LPFP with Hobb switch. Mine is set at 15psi. Your idle issues appear to be fuel related. Maybe too rich fuel fouling spark plugs on start and then they clean up after the engine has run for a while. Maybe get the injectors checked out. I don't know what you can do with the LPFP. |

hey Coupes33 thanks for looking into this for me. I had the mechanic check out what version injectors I had along with the hpfp. He confirmed 3 x injectors were index 9 and the other 3 were an older part numbers probably what came from factory in 2007. My hpfp build date is 2007 so original factory one again. I'm suprised all these "prone to failure" parts survived on my tuned car given the 1/4 mile runs I have done too.
I sent my logs to Buraq and he reckoned car is running too rich so I may send him some new pulls once car is back on road. He thinks the drop off in lpfp may be tune related too. I thought a 11-12 afr target is appropriate unless im missing something. My local custom tune had a 0.88 lamda value on the e85 tune (this is a standardised value that doesn't require transformation for different fuel i.e. 98 vs e85). I will try and get the basic things sorted first then look into tune again. cheers will keep everyone posted |

Hey tawfeeqh, what PI system are you using? BQ Tuning have been modifying my tune which required installing a MaxBoost on the N20 TMAP. I am not a tuner but this required adjusting the scalars on the tune. I did a couple of datalogs and found due to these scalar adjustments, the PI was not working resulting in the HPFP dropping pressure at higher revs. I wondered if this maybe your issue as well. I have the Fuelit PI system with the Split Second Controller. Apparently, the controller needs to be tuned as well.

I am running an Evolution of Speed Manifold coupled with the fuelit stage 3 pump and AI6 split second controller + n20 3.5 bar Tmap sensor. The max boost adaptor was required in the early days when MHD did not have the functionality to log pass 22.5 psi. The bmw DME cannot report pass 22.5 psi even with the n20 sensor installed so in the early days the adaptor was being used as a way around it. In mid 2016 MHD added this functionality to allow tuners to adjust a 3 point mapping table that allows scaling of the sensor voltage to pressure. So in summary if you are using the n20 sensor with the Maxboost adaptor you need to can "check" the n20 option in MHD before flashing and the DME will interpret the voltage correctly and convert to the right pressure. No further scaling is needed in the logs. HOWEVER if you only use the n20 map sensor (without the maxboost adaptor) then you need to scale the logs using the 3 point voltage scaling feature in MHD (this essentially replaces the maxboost adaptor). The n20 check box does not need to be ticked in this scenario. The link contains info i have explained along with values required to put in the custom 3 point table in MHD. http://www.***********.com/showthread.php?71419-N20-and-Maxboost-trying-to-understand-exactly-what-maxboost-does Also the AI6 controller needs to be programmed using the r4 software to setup the injector pulse rates. This is a free downloadable software. I can go through my emails and find the download link if you like. At the time I was liasing with nizpro, mhd and split second controller to get it all working. If you are using COBB I can understand why you are still using the adaptor Tawfeeq edit: link won't work because its on the other forum. Just google the remaining key words and you will find it on [Admin Notified] |

Thanks for that info Tawfeeqh. I am using COBB so I will have to reprogram the Split Second Controller so that the PI is triggered at a lower boost setting. Further investigation required.
