Is it possible to retrofit the Supra/M340i HPFP?
Has anyone looked into retrofitting the Supra/M340i/Z4 HPFP onto our cars?
I'm currently running a E30 + TBI Meth tune on my 340i and i'm maxing out the HPFP and would really like to know if this has been done or if it is possible. I've attached a couple of logs showing my rail pressure drops. 3rd Gear Log: https://datazap.me/u/richmichael97/w...53-54-55-56-57 4th Gear Log: https://datazap.me/u/richmichael97/w...53-54-55-56-57 Edit: Sorry if this has already been covered in another topic, I tried looking around and didn't see anything.

Mission Performance does this. If you send them that new B58TU HPFP they will retrofit it for a regular B58. I believe there are a couple forum members here that have gone that route. I've been curious about a price tag for that myself.

Have they not posted the price for it?

MP has theirs if you send it in. XDI should be out around November or December (mhd already has tuning support in their latest release) and spool performance is on the horizon.
And yes, since the hpfp is a mechanical pump the car needs fuel map changes. Otherwise you'll more than likely hydro lock from fuel. |

I have yet to read what actually needs to be tuned. Is the fuel pressure regulator at capacity? MP said they account for supply voltage differences, so maybe that's in the tuning somewhere? But it has to be more than just more pressure means more fuel flow into the engine. |

According to XDI not only is it pressure, its volume along with it. I don't know exactly what needs to change.. only guessing.
The pressure has to go somewhere it can't just be electronically un pressurized. And there's no return back to the tank. So possibly they're altering pulse width? Somehow forcing the lpfp to reduce volume until enough fuel is requested that it fully opens up again? I don't think the cam lobe the pump runs off of is variable. But maybe it is. I'm really as lost as you are. But 35% more fuel and more pressure has to go somewhere. |

In my experience, it is just the pressure that matters. The injector is the limiter for the volume of fuel it can flow. Injectors are rated in #'s/hour based on a specified fuel rail pressure. With more pressure you can force more volume through the injector.

The solenoid would have to stay open longer with a bigger bore/stroke HPFP to prevent over pressure condition in the rail for a set Load/cylinder fill/injector opening time compared to the smaller pump. With the current flash tunes the solenoid must be programmed to close early to pump as much fuel as the HPFP can. Add a bigger capacity pump without changing the solenoid mapping and it's going to overshoot. The more recent B58 fuel systems are designed for 5000PSI vs our 2900 PSI and therefore the pressure limiting valves in the newer pumps, that allow fuel to pass back to the low pressure side, are by default going to be higher as well, making them unable to assist in keeping pressure under our required 2900 PSI design target.

The pressure HAS to be regulated. because WOT at 3000rpm requires more fuel vs. crusing at 3000rpm vs. no throttle at 3000rpm, and all scenarios will produce the same fuel pressure. on my vw for example, the regulator is a part of the fuel filter. without it, the system will over pressurize when demand is low. regarding the injectors, the reason why pressure drops when demand is too high is because they are open for longer to allow more fuel into the cylinder. you don't have enough supply to match the demand, so pressures drop. more pressure doesn't mean more fuel flows through the same injector timing, because nothing in the injector controls flow. it's only open or closed. I just know in the past i've swapped high pressure fuel pumps and low pressure fuel pumps without tuning. The only advantage of new software is making use of the additional capacity. Just like our current tune offerings, they aren't doing anything other than taking advantage of the existing hardware's capabilities. Again, not dogging anyone. But I want to understand what this limit is because i think it's more than what we're guessing. For example with the TU pump, i could see voltage requirements having an effect. But it's disappointing that a drop in pump like XDI would have similar constraints. In theory, it should just supply the same pressure without dips, and allow tuning for more pressure in the future. |

What I was meaning is the amount of flow from the injector is governed by it's orifice size, which fixes how much flow it can possibility allow. But like you mentioned, if it's open too long, then the pump cannot deliver set flow if it's undersized.
I can see a need to remap for larger injectors, but not a larger pump (unless we are all missing something on how a direct injection / HPFP setup works version a convention fuel injection system). Maybe the DME tosses in soft limiters at a certain perceived flow (IE injectors are open too long which might cause a potential lean condition) -- much like the fuel cap on the OEM tune? |

But if the rail pressure limits need to be raised because the pressure regulator can't keep up, that makes sense. running more boost or higher e85 blends could require a higher pressure setpoint. but i'm struggling to believe that it will struggle to keep up on the same OTS tune, just swapping to a better hpfp. MissionPerformance you seem to have a lot of technical background on B58 fuel delivery and what's needed to make new pumps work. care to shed some light on the limitations of the system? |

These links provide some good info to help explain why the solenoid may require programming via the DME when changing to a different configuration HPFP.
https://www.underhoodservice.com/dir...olenoid-works/ https://bimmerprofs.com/hpfp/ At idle I see logged pressure of around 1400 PSI but as soon as RPM increase and load increases pressure in the rail heads towards 2900 PSI pretty quickly, even if Load is still relatively low. Fuel tables in the DME reference Load and RPM to target an AFR which can be achieved by injector pulse width and rail pressure. Rail pressure itself should be controlled by separate table in the DME which would also reference Load and RPM but is acting on the solenoid in the HPFP. I think our current tunes and part of the original software "fuel cap" issue relates to adjusting tables in the DME to allow the HPFP to operate at maximum capacity and more often

Swapping pumps to make the same pressure and hold it steady should support a lot of fueling headroom. Pressure and volume/flow are 2 separate variables. |

As I see MHD backend flash raises both of these tables (threshold for rail pressure drop to activate KL_RFMIN_KRSTSYS and KL_RFMIN_KRSTSYS itself), it that so called fuel cap overcome? then it's not fuel cap but boost cap after rail pressure drop detected, and it is all the same thing as in N55 MEVD17 ecu. Or am I wrong and fuel cap is different thing there? P.S. here you can see actually what is happening when rail pressure drops and stock KL_RFMIN_KRSTSYS table kicks in : https://www.performance-centre.co.uk...g-by-custompro |

We know that increasing ethanol content beyond a certain level on the current 16 - 18 PSI maps (stock turbo) with the pump already maxed out results in rail pressure dropping and when it drops too low it triggers the DME to cut boost and timing to protect the engine as it is anticipating that the target AFR is not going to be achieved. I've logged this a few times. Swapping in a bigger pump will provide more headroom, allowing for more boost and higher E blends, but installing a bigger capacity HPFP pump without adjusting the tables in the DME related to the HPFP solenoid may result in too much fuel going to the rail. I hope the upcoming XDI HPFP upgrade will have pressure relief valves at 3000 PSI and BM3 and MHD have the calibrations sorted in the DME to maintain a steady 2900 PSI at 20+PSI boost level with E85.

Yes, it is indeed a custom tune from Wedge. I am trying to get the most out of the stock turbo but currently i'm maxing out the fuel system. I have WMI currently running 2x 504cc ProMeth Nozzles with 50/50 Boost Juice. I found out my local track sells pure methanol so i'm going to try running a 70/30 mix to see if it helps a little more. If that fails i'll be looking into bigger nozzles.

If you're hitting a fuel limit then you need more flow. I'm not sure adjusting the mix will help. More/bigger nozzles are in your future. Is there a reason people don't just drill/tap the manifold and run 6 nozzles? Edit: duh. intercooler. nevermind. |
