I've held off on the wmi kit I was looking at now. Looking at a flex fuel kit instead now. My goal is to run 93 daily no pi, no wmi and hit high 400 wheel and then fill up with e50 on the weekends and hit mid 500s or 600 whp. You think the bend calibration flex fuel kit will be switched out for something later? Or should I go ahead and start researching/purchasing

may I ask a questions ?
Lets say you don't have access to E-fuel but want to open up the potential of your N55 M2, most easily available/reliable setup I guess would be a pure stage 2 and all required mods. Ive been down the road of upgraded turbos combined with wmi (jb4 + mhd backend) on my past 135i but I'd rather avoid WMI from now on. Questions: What is the horsepower threshold to need an upgraded High Flow pump ? What power can be expected from a pure 2 running 91-93 with stock pump ? Where will an upgraded High flow pump take us ? What setup will run de coolest for track use ? WMI or E fuel ? If I ever go down the rabbit hole with the M2 I'd rather it to be the simplest one. Thanks

The filter, lines, and bracketry on the kit will be good for the long term. Will only need to replace the filter ($50) every 5k miles or so depending on how clean your fuel is. You can do 520-530whp without a stage 3 HPFP set-up, as I did on the Dorch Stage 2 with the BW 7670 turbo. It's really dependent on your turbo choice and your goals You'll also need a tuning solution to take advantage of the ethanol sensor/content analyzer. You'll have some time to research before BM3 releases their solution or you can go with EcuTek, which I'm running right now.

Pricing just jumped to $1650. If it's going to stay there then imo it's definitely not worth it over spool or dorch which offer life time warranty for $49 more.

IMO, it depends on how it flows. If it truly flows better than Dorch or Spool, that answer is not as easy. |

I guess we will see, but I doubt it will flow more.

What if I told you that:
1) The price on the site is going to change. and 2) The lifetime warranty is coming extremely soon? |

If it's equally priced to the other options and results are similar then it's down to personal preference and if the check box tuning option is good, unlike xdi which causes a weird stutter.

A bit of an update on my Nostrum HPFP install. I mentioned in a couple other threads, but I thought I'd collect the info here.
My car was dropped off Monday at Nostrum. They did a quick inspection and put it on the dyno to get a baseline. My car is FBO at the moment, and I have the Bend Calibration Flex Fuel kit with the ID F750 fuel filter, flex fuel sensor, and Zeitronix ECA-2 can-bus content analyzer. On the baseline dyno, the car made 384whp and 445wtq. After that, they installed the Nostrum HPFP, and got their tuning numbers needed for BM3. Since it's going to take a bit to get the OTS maps updated to support the pump, we decided to go ahead and switch the car over to Ecutek and do a full flex fuel tune. They finished tuning the base map on Ecutek yesterday for 93 octane fuel. I've been told the car made 405WHP on straight 93 octane! Today, they are finishing up the Ethanol tuning, and I'm expecting it to be somewhere near 450WHP on a conservative ethanol mix. I'm picking the car up this evening and I'll hopefully have a bunch more info (data, dyno charts, etc) to share. Additionally, I'll be posting up another video in the coming weeks to do a review. I gave the media person at Nostrum one of my gopro's to collect some content for me, so I'm excited to get that back and start editing. With regards to pricing on the Nostrum pump, I've been told the new price, but it has not been updated on the website yet. Once they do that, I'll be happy to share it. But if everything works out as I expected, the Nostrum HPFP may be the new number 1 player in the fueling game on the N55 platform as far as value is concerned. Stay Tuned! |

Otherwise if that's a dynojet with sae or STD=5 correction then that's really really good numbers. Also your stock tune baseline is abnormally high even with FBO, just another thing to consider.

The baseline wasn't a stock tune. It was FBO with the BM3 Stage 2 93 octane map. My car did dyno just over 400WHP on the racegas tune over the summer, so I think the numbers are pretty close. And that was also on a dynojet. |

I'll certainly ask about it. Though I'd imagine if they have the BM3 maps it wouldnt be hard to adapt them to MHD.

Minor update. While tuning for E85. the LPFP couldn't keep up. They went ahead and upgraded it as well. I do not have the specs yet but may have them later today.
