Pure500 turbo, all supporting mods, what tune do i run?
My 2011 e90 n55 has 120k miles. It currently has FBO (5inch intercooler, catless downpipe and muffler delete(Still has secondary cats), aluminum charge pipe, cold air intake, and currently running MHD 2+) Manual transmission
Ive purchased a pure500 turbo, ACL Rod bearings, upgraded coil packs, step 1 colder NGK spark plugs, Stage 1 LPFP from Fuel-It, and a Spool 150 Stage 1 HPFP. I may get a oil catch can, but i've read their not entirely necessary. I am a technician for BMW (almost 2 years experience and 2 years of schooling) and plan on installing them soon. This is my street car, and of course I must pass my yearly emissions inspection. I dont have any experience with tuning aside from flashing my car MHD with a tablet, and my biggest concern is figuring out the tuning situation. My goal is 500whp or around there, and have read that n55 rods can handle that, but I am reinforcing the bearings just to be safe (Never been replaced and still no issues) How should i get it tuned? Do tuning companys just throw my car on the dyno and use their own platform and ECU to configure boost pressure and A/F ratio? I heard that you can send your logs to MHD and they can make you a custom map? How reliable is that? Can they really just make you a tune without dynoing the car? I live in Massachusetts and am willing to drive just about anywhere to have my car tuned properly after the mods are installed. I also have stage 2 nostrum injectors that im not sure i want to install. I read they must be tuned for the vehicle, but if I flash it back to stock for my yearly inspection, will the car not run properly with the Stg2 injectors? Will i have to swap the injectors yearly? That was a lot but let me know if you can answer any of those questions, thanks |

In the sense that he wants to know the outcome. I am also curious about the results, as I want to do something similar.
Tuner wise, you can contact David Shoup, I heard he is very professional. You can book a dyno day in your area so you can test it also on the dyno |

if your car is 2011, then Spool HPFP won't work for you, it's only for 2012+ cars with late style hpfp, your car has an N54 hpfp. Nostrum injectors might not work, at least I haven't seen any N55es running them.

I've emailed Nostrum two different times to ask if their injectors work on e-chassis, since they don't list n55e on their website. I didn't hear back either time. Long way of saying that I don't know if they'll work either. However, I don't think you'll need bigger injectors for your goals.
If you're n54 style hpfp, a proven option is the PFS POD hpfp overdrive. Also, Hydra just came out with this option which seems like the best way to overdrive the hpfp, but it's so new I haven't come across any independent results yet. This is probably the route I'd go if I had the n54 style hpfp: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=2121236 https://www.spxxlstreet.com/threads/...verdrive.9698/ (Replace xx with oo) Last edited by wheela; 10-13-2024 at 07:34 AM.. |

Thats very good to know, I got my HPFP for like 400 used valued at like 1200 brand new so ill just sell it. I might just go oem injectors. Can stock handle 500whp?

EDIT: I see he is located in florida. I may look into Twisted Tuning or RK tunes in New York. Have you heard of them? Are they reputable? Last edited by mattyfargo; 10-16-2024 at 11:45 AM.. |

As for the video, like you said, that all seems pretty new so I would rather just play it safe and spend 1000-1500 on a good hpfp. If I were to go that route, after watching the video, all I would have to do is replace some gears with bigger ones and my stock hpfp acts as an upgraded one? |
