Fuel pumps provide fuel, thats it.

How the fuel is used/power gained is controlled by the ECU/Turbo/boost etc.

Fuel pumps dont make power, the simply provide the means to make power.

You could put a 1000hp pump in there, wont make a difference

Cheers.

fuel pump and injectors arnt suppose to give u power,

they are a supporting mod so eg.. you upgrade your tubo and wound more boost into it, the new injectors and pump can supply sufficent fuel to your motor

where as i think your stock one will max out at 170kw

Crap! I was planning on getting a bosch fuel pump...thought it was gonna be good for my stock turbo/ECU setup, guess it's just gonna have to be part of the plan leading up to a proper dyno run+ECU tune.

Thanks for dashing my huge power hopes you smartarses

oh, and you can't tune the stock ECU unless you visit one of the R32 Stock ECU tuners - I think there is about 2 in australia.

You can't just rock up to any dyno operator and say "tune my ECU thanks" and come out with 1000hp.

They'll see you coming and take your money..

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
