I kept trying to calculate e50, but I was finding the inconsistencies in gasoline was making this a complete crap shoot, when blending E85 and 93.
Frustrated, I decided to instal the fuel it! Bluetooth analyser.....it works great and has taken the guess work out of it. Now I'm really intrigued about the possible MHD flex fuel option coming. |

For the interim, we're planning to do the very same thing (bluetooth 'e' analyzer) . Our hope is that when the MHD FF module is released, it will properly integrate (e.g. direct or supplemental harness) with the existing in-line ethanol analyzer.
Since we have the electronic steering wheel (outside my/our knowledge level here), we're not sure if it will interfere with the MHD FF module due to CAN bus. We've seen this with other products (incompatibility) so fingers crossed. Quote:

I've done some limited searching (N54) and I don't see any mention of CAN bus issues when pairing the electronic wheel with the MHD FF module. I'll keep looking though.
If there is a conflict, well .. The wheel goes. We need a solid fuel system for the turbo upgrade and since we have an abundance of e85 in the area, it's a no brainer. Question is, will MHD provide us with a means to identify the ethanol content (regardless of adaptability) via their app (or iDrive) since we'd be forgoing the BT analyzer OR is this merely a moot point. |

Update:
Dorch engineering's HPFP for the n55 will be released on Feb.4 as per their website, pricing is also available and it is significantly cheaper than the rest of the competition. Their stage 2 HPFP is cheaper than XDI's stage 1....

Hmm...do you think Dorch Stage 1 is enough for a PS2 and E50 in the winter time?

That's a pretty hard question to predict, but it really depends on how much power you plan to have and afr you plan to target, altitude, mods, conditions etc. If you want to Max out ps2 then you might be pushing the hpfp to it's edge and it may not be sufficient. If you plan for maybe 450 whp (again hard prediction) you probably will be able to meet that goal on E50. Again this is mostly trial and error. You can probably compare this hpfp to the xdi-35 and look at what those guys are able to achieve on E50.

I'm noticing that these vendors are bundling either nylon reinforced/braided or SS/PTFE braided lines. Might be worth discussing pros/cons. We have a question out to Spool whether or not their lines (SS/PTFE) are conductive or non-conductive. We also asked them to confirm that the ethanol sensor is Continental. Will update once we receive an answer (they generally respond within 24 hours).

I personally like the SS lines with the PTFE interior, but prefer the viton stuff that improved racing sells (cloth exterior). The pros of the stainless lines are virtually zero degradation over time, the con is they're quite rigid. The pros of nylon is that it is more flexible, but the cons is that it is slightly less durable. Conductivity of the lines shouldn't matter since they're ptfe cored. I can confirm since I asked them this along time ago, they use the smaller version of the genuine continental/GM sensor. Like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/n...7429/overview/ random question: why do you refer to yourself as "we", are you speaking as part of a shop or race team? Just curious.

At some point I have to pick up a new HPFP but am unsure which route to go at this point.

to clarify certain thougths , ive ranboth hdp5evo and hdp6 ( installed ) . so i have a little xp with them . a few pros and cons HDP5evo pros : same height for in and output compared to oem . better orientation of the connector . cons : is only marginally better compared to oem , doenst support ps2 and Emix . base plate is thinner , but thats not a con actually . Hdp6 : Pros much more flow available , ps2 and emix ,no problem . thicker baseplate twice of the hdp5evo cons ; orientation of the connector , needs some work to have clearance with intake manifold . The in and output sit a feww mm higher compared to oem . you will need to adjust the HP line to have it fitted without stress . Both pumps dont require extra programming because bosch hardware . both fired right up after install all in all go for the hdp6 right away , a little more work but much more worth it

The other pumps have drop in fits without modification and the baseplate mod for the HDP6 is my biggest concern. I need everything to be very robust for the track, and I would be constantly concerned/checking the HDP6 fitment. Right now I’m leaning towards Dorch Stage 2 to bc they’re supported in BM3 (B58 so far, N55 coming they say), and it’ll give me plenty of headroom to run E50 with a PS2 in winter and occasionally full E85 at the track. |
