I realize this post is a few years after the fact, but I want to say thank you anyway. After a lengthy list of repairs and upgrades (including new LP fuel sensor) I’ve just got my N54 135i, with its new Stage 1 VTT turbos, back on the road. No codes yet, but MHD is reporting a (shadow) inactive 2AAF. Datalogs show that the LPFP is generally working well at between 70-80 psi, but when I accelerate more aggressively it drops below 50 psi. Looks to me that the LPFP just can’t keep up with the new higher fuel demand. I’m a bit tight on cash at the moment so made the call to try out this project. Just bought all the gear and will get started on it soon!
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Trey Evan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Make sure you line up the tab on the top part of the pump assembly before you tighten down the lock ring, unless you wanna be like me and shift the position of the tab 90 degrees and also have fuel pouring out the bottom of your car. I prolly should have paid more attention when the lock ring wasn't tightening properly, and I almost couldn't get it free again as it was spinning the whole assembly. Otherwise, pretty easy lol.
i had my friend install the lockring on the sending unit while i finished up my turbos, he ended up cracking the thing the tab goes in. couldent source the part so i ended up JB welding my sending unit shut...
Great idea but I'd be worried that the zip ties and the heat shrink used on the wiring was not gasoline/e85 safe. If that degrades it will come loose and possibly cause a short in your tank.
@@luluhus1 They're made from DuPont 66 Nylon. The heat shrink says it's oil and fuel resistant. I'll dunk them in some E85 and check on them after a week to be safe.

I have a full bolt on 535I with MHD. I want to do this upgrade but the stock OEM 535 fuel pump looks different than the stock OEM 335 pump. Do you think that Walbro unit will fit my 535 pump assembly?
Thank you for the excellent video. Your videos are always so good and clear. But I am wondering what the advantage is of cutting the extra areas in the bucket at the bottom is and even what the advantage of a Bucketless system even is?
Just in time for the project, however I'm 2021 we've discovered that the pump used is a fake walbro with the pinhole at the end where the filter goes. How's your pump holding up this far?
Hey there, saw some of your videos and since you know quite a lot about direction injection bmw engines I kinda wanted to see your take on a problem that mine has been having for the past 3 and a half years ( ever since I bought it ) . So mine is an n43 ( pretty much an N53 with 4 cyl ) same high pressure fuel pump, same injectors, everything, so here's the issue, mine hesitates to start when it's warm, it doesn't do it constantly, it's doing it like 70% of the time, however, if I let it sit for hours or over night it starts up absolutely perfect. What I've been told it's that some of the injectors might be leaky, but shouldn't that cause some sort of missfire or cold start issues as well? I get good injectors values on ISTA, car has NEVER missfired in all these years, doesn't surge, doesn't hesitate, pulls and works like a charm once It starts. HPFP has no pressure issues as well. What's your take on it? The way it behaves is pretty much as if it struggles to ignite the gasoline in the cilinders from what I can hear. All sensors are ok, checked all the values and sensors, ISTA shows no fault, new starter, new timing chain and tensioner etc, new crankshaft rpm sensor, mpg is just fine, drives like a charm, I'm out of ideas and so is every single mechanic and the dealer. What's your take on it? It drives me insane. Oh and also, to describe the symptom, apart from the engine struggling to start, when it does it seems like it shakes it quite a bit, just like yours was doing on your N54 injectors DYI video when you said that when it's warm if you start it it shakes the engine pretty hard
Hi can you remember what material the heat shrink is. I did this about 2 weeks back, pump was consistently pumping above 70 psi. Now at WOT its in the low 40's.
