E85 and Fuel Pump Upgrades

Dec540 · 05-06-2020, 11:18 PM

Hi all,

I'm currently running BM3 Stage 2 E30, but my HPFP is crashing. I have decided to upgrade the HPFP and to run E85 instead with a custom tune

The Dorch Stage 2 pump is inbound.

Are there any other supporting mods that are recommended? I'll upgrade the spark plugs.

Are our LPFP systems up to the task or should I look to upgrade that part of the fuel system too? I note we don't have sensors so the DME just reports a static 84psi all the time.

Should any consideration be given to filtering if running E85 / different pumps?

Thanks in advance for any input!
