LPFP Upgrade MMP Stage 2 or Fuel-It Stage 2?

So the time has come to where I need more fueling dude to running e85/93 blend and the stock fuel pump, JB4 Set to 60 Fuel loop, Cannot keep up. I was browsing and found out that MMP has an N55 F series Stage 2 pump for a damn good price. The other option is the tried and true method of going with Fuel-It. However, there are some cons. Fuel-it has been tested and we know it works. problem is, there is a big price difference in the two. I would have to spend $580.00 ($430.00+Core of $150.00) to have the new pump sent to me, then pay to install it and then send the old one back which is all money I dont want to spend. MMP on the other hand, is not only cheaper then the rebuild option for Fuel-It but also there is no core charge as they send you a fresh pump with Walboro 450, same as Fuel-It. I can probably go with MMP and have it installed for the same amount that the Fuel-It costs to buy. Here is the real question.... has anyone ever run the MMP system and has anyone had any issues.


Link to Fuel it: http://www.fuel-it.biz/f-series-stage-2-lpfp-upgrade/

Link to MMP: https://mmp-e.com/collections/all/pr...l-pump-upgrade



Thanks Guys!

MMP is getting popular, price range and looks like it will do the job.
Saw it over in the E90 forum too, friend of mine ordered their Nitrous Injection DKM3Power

Dinan is literally a joke for that price. Its just a walboro 450 like Fuel-It and MMP but for some reason they are charging you 900 bucks for a 450 pump and a bucket, with no warranty lol. MMP gives you the same thing for 380 or so.

Basically you are paying for their research into the modification and some parts. Do I think the parts cost 229 no, but they have a nice PDF write up, which you could take make up the parts yourself if you had the time and abilities.

No doubt I don't disagree they put out some good engineering, but up charging 750% is just mind boggling. R&D is definitely worth it but there just comes a price point where you have to draw the line.

I definitely appreciated their f30 lowering spring setup with the bump stops. In all honesty it saved me big after I used H&R. The bump stops are BMW oem parts that dinan resells but no one says you can't find out the part #'s and buy the bump stops at a fraction of the price, which I have the part numbers of anyone ever needs them .

The 335i fuel pump for a 2015 is 90 bux, I think that and a walbro 450 you could probably DIY it for under 300 bux.

The S55 pump is 500 bux by comparison. They look really close :-D

But I would rather not mess with it and just pay to know it's going to be done correctly.

Honestly the LPFP is easy to do, it's right under the rear seat driver side. Hardest part is getting off that special fastener that requires a special tool, but you can do it with regular tools with some persistence. It's just a direct swap pretty much after that.

I think that little machined t fitting is the money part from Dinan. I don't think you are gonna pick that part off the shelf somewhere.
