Updated DIY - Dorch HPFP lift kit install

It's not often that I completely rebuild a DIY video and this may be the first occasion!

I recently installed the amazing Dorch Engineering high pressure fuel pump lift kit into my BMW M2 Competition, as a perfect way to setup for more power. I built out the entire video of the process and realized there was a far better, more simple way to do the work so rebuilt the DIY.

The installation this way is MUCH easier, more direct and I wanted to make sure to share that process.

Thank you to Dorch Engineering for such a fantastic product and the key to unlocking my big horsepower build in my car. It was clear after the turbo upgrades that fueling was holding me back, so I went big with this kit! Thank you as well to Ivan Hernandez and Bimtech PNW for their excellent work as always!

Check it out!

At what power level did you HAVE to switch pumps?

So.it was after my Mosselman turbos upgrade, you could see the fueling fall flat at WOT and full E85.

I probably could have stayed stock fueling or maybe just LPFP and fuel lines only, if staying on pump gas alone.

Thanks for the reply... reason I asked was based on my new thread I created regarding tuning my car. Tuner says to stay on the "safe" side, I need to max out at E-50ish to keep the pumps happy. But obviously my mod list is waaaaay lighter than yours.

I couldn't agree more, listen to your tuner for sure. I have used Cary Jordan every step along the way including his recommendations to not go past 750/650 on a stock internals s55
