Hi all,

So a bit of background on my vehicle and what I am trying to achieve.

Car is a 2009 BMW E90 330D LCI M-Sport 6/MT with a N57
When I bought the car back in 2013, it already had the DPF hollowed out {unsure if CAT is intact} & EGR bypassed.
Have not validated either.

Supporting mods/upgrades recently fitted:

• Michelin Pilot Sport 4 - non-runflat all round (225/255 18")
• Birds BMW - B-Series Sport Suspension (Bilstein dampers and Eibach lowering springs)
• F30 M-Sport Brembo 4 & 2 pot Calipers
• Brembo 340mm disc & Mtec 345mm disc
• Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines
• E92 M3 Master Brake Cylinder
• EBC Red Stuff pad (terrible! changing them to possibly Ferodo DS2500)
• Castrol React Performance Dot 4 Racing Brake Fluid
• Clutch delay valve delete
• Engine carbon clean
• Serviced regularly (only do 6 miles a week...I know, what a waste)

Stock - 242Hp & 540Nm
Stage 1 Remap - 315Hp & 813Nm

After a while I decided I needed more power and then installed the following:

• Hybrid Turbo
• Wagner Intercooler
• 50/50 Water/Methanol injection kit (progressive 100PSI - 940cc injector)
• Custom 3" Straight Pipe from DPF (twin exit)

This got me to my current:
387Hp & 754Nm without Meth
407Hp & 793Nm with Meth (not meth dependant)

Since then I have purchased the following:

• M50D Injectors - Used but got them ultra sonic cleaned
• M50D High Pressure Fuel Pump - New
• M50D Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (with rail) - Used

Hoping these would get the car to 500Hp+ & 1,000Nm+ based on the following with similar mods (minus meth) using the exact same turbo here & here
Obviously will need to look in to my clutch/flywheel and LSD situation after this given all that have gone down this route (that I can find) are running auto boxes.

Question - I know the injectors need to be "registered" to the car, but does anything need to be done for the fuel pump or rail sensor?
SV77A UP-RATED FUEL - maybe?

Dang, lots of money and work put into this car. Could you give more details about the water/meth injection kit you used? Which brand, plug & play or had to modify it to work etc....

Thanks

Firstly, congrats on this being post #69 for you

Yup, defo spent a fair bit on this but learned alot too even if I only drive 6 miles a week (less than that during lock down).

Meth kit is a Devilsown DVC-100 Progressive kit (Universal 100psi boost kit) with a solenoid upgrade instead of a check valve and full stainless lines from the tanks (2 x 3 Quarts) which are stealthily hidden under the boot.

Some pics can be found here

Anyone got any ideas on this?

I feel like your kind of going down the wrong path for more power. I don't believe that injectors are the bottle neck of the m57s, its more a air flow issue.

Being you have a 330d does that mean you have the single twin scroll turbo? Or the twin turbo? I would upgrade turbo too since more fuel isn't going to help that but blow more smoke.

Over here our m57s injectors flow a lot for stock and you likely wouldn't need any mods unless above 700hp. The pumps do seem to have a hard time keeping up down low though. We have kits here that just became available that lets us add another hpfp so we can do dual r90 pumps which seem to be able to get our m57s close to 450hp with stock engine, add a hybrid turbo into the mix and you should be pretty close to 500whp. With meth it'll be higher too

Thanks RL18, but a few things to note:

• I have an N57 (single turbo), not M57
• Already installed Hybrid Turbo (mentioned)
• The R90 pump isn't compatible with mine, hence going down getting the pump from an M50D
• Same with the M50D injectors

Got it. I thought since it was a 2009 it was an m57 since that was the model year m57s were used. You might have better luck on the n57 forums. I remember seeing a 535d making around 500whp on the forums. Maybe you can gain some more knowledge from that build.

Nice! can i ask how much the turbo cost? not many available for our N57 single turbo cars! where did you put the meth nozzle?

mines just got a remap and at 290bhp and 577nm but would like more in the future.

Turbo was £1,337.62 delivered (Euro conversion) and deof recommended, great turbo!
Meth nozzle is where the EGR valve is (EGR disabled in software anyway).

Still waiting for my Indy to get the special tool to change the HPFP as it needs to hold the timing chain in place, once he gets it i'm getting it don as I have gotten used to the 406Hp now especially with the Birds suspension as I can actually put the power down now and not slide/spin up! it made that much of a difference and the ride is so much nicer!

Cheers that’s all really helpful!
I’ve looked over the birds kit for quite a while and it sounds great!
When you get chance can you snap a pic of the meth nozzle. I was thinking of more towards the front of the car in that black plastic tube that flattens out... but your place might be better!

Was the turbo a direct fit?

Cheers

I can fully recommend the Birds kit, I was also debating getting full coilovers but realised I would have no idea how I would want my damping set so went with the Birds kit after reading all the magazine reviews.
It consists of custom tuned Bilstein dampers and Eibach lowering springs and has made the ride so much better suited for UK (London) roads.

Sure, will try and get a pic of the meth nozzle but it was fitted by Road Rage Performance down in Sevenoaks.
I think fitting it in metal was better than in the plastic purely for ease of mind as it'll be a better fit and less likely to become a boost leak.

Turbo is a direct fit, it's a hybrid so its the same OEM turbo but modified with bigger inlet/outlets and impeller wheels.
Turbosystems cater for drift/drag cars so know what they are doing (well I think so).

Another point to mention is the gearbox, the 6 speed manual in the car is a GS6-53DZ which is apparently used by drifters as it can handle 1,400Nm of torque which bodes well for the modifications I have made as this was likely to be the weak spot, instead it is the clutch which surprisingly does not slip with 407Hp and 793Nm

[Andy198712]

Thanks buddy! i'm so tempted by that turbo! still got my DPF but wondering if i could keep it and add meth and see if it gets me up to 400....

As far as I know, the fuel pump is just a dumb unit - it just shoves diesel in a hole. Nothing to register/code there.

I've never heard of anyone needing to code a new rail sensor - so far as I know their calibration is the same, but they can just operate to a higher pressure. Same story for the regulator.

So no; no coding necessary there. You'll just need the relevant map to take advantage of the higher flow and pressures that are possible.

Of course, I could be wrong...

Sorry for the late pic, finally got around to taking it today

Thread revival, so car is at the mechanic and undergoing the upgrades however I have been told that the new M50D HPFP has different inlet/outlet pipe orientation and its not a straight swap.
Any ideas on this and if the inlet/outlet on the HPFP can simply be rotated?

Any input welcome as the car is at the garage!

Well I don't see why it can't be modified to pipe up to the m50d pump. What does the pumps connections look like?

According to a response I received on a Facebook group that connector can simply be rotated by undoing 4 torx screws, so advised the mechanic to try that.

Hi
I know it’s been a while but did you manage to fit and plug m50d pump?
What will be needed to do this? Plug is p&p, pump arm/ bracket? Needs coding or not?
