The Marvelous FX-150: Upping the Ante for High-Pressure Fuel Pumps
If you're an auto enthusiast who's part of the BMW S55 community, there's some super exciting news for you. Spool Performance, a well-known name in automotive part manufacturing, is thrilled to introduce its newest innovation, the FX-150 high-pressure fuel pump!
So, what's special about the FX-150?
Simple - it's a top-tier, upgraded high-pressure fuel pump. It boasts a larger bore size than your standard fuel pump, and that means it can deliver about 50% more flow. Moreover, this pump is solely compatible with E85 and does not require any kind of splicing or cutting. The increase in flow allows for higher concentrations of ethanol and improves the fueling capacity if you're someone who's running bigger turbos.
But why do I need it?
Well, the standard High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) on the S55 Motors has its limitations. When you're trying to tune your engine and increase its output, the standard pump struggles to keep up. But thanks to the FX-150 and its 50% enhanced flow, it provides more fueling capacity and is perfect for running bigger turbos or higher ethanol concentration blends.
Additionally, the FX-150 comes with a 10-micron filter unit, offering the best form of filtration available for this range without any significant pressure drop in the low side fuel system. This stellar filter helps protect your high-pressure pump and the injectors from any potential debris.
And that's not all!
The FX-150 package includes a brilliant Spool Ethanol Content Monitor. The SPOOL ECA kit features a digital readout of in-tank ethanol content and fuel temperature. This information is delivered via BLE 4.0 low energy technology, allowing you to use your existing Bluetooth devices while being connected to the SPOOL ECA module. It also comes with steel nylon core fuel lines that are 100% E85 compatible.
So, will you need to tweak your tuning to accommodate the FX-150?
Yes, calibration changes are required for upgraded pumps. Fortunately, the experts at Spool Performance can provide calibration details to your existing tuner, or even connect you with established tuners who have experience with these impressive pumps.
Overall, The FX-150 delivers more fuel flow, enables better tuning, enhances ethanol concentration, and gives your vehicle the extra horsepower it's been longing for. Compatible with various BMW M series automobiles, you will definitely want one under your hood. Buckle up, because the FX-150 is here to revamp your driving experience.
