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!

I'm running Bootmode and remember their being a HPFP setting for Dorch but I no longer see it. Only SPOOL and NOSTRUM

Is there no need for a change in tune for a Dorch HPFP?

There is no preset in the settings and had the upgrade updated in my custom tune by my tuner

I confirmed through PTF that no tune change is needed for the High Lift Kit. If you have a custom tune then it certainly can be modified to take advantage of the extra fueling.

Ok thanks for the replies fellas.

Finally got CH done and decided to throw the HPFP in. Now can finally start adding all the real power mods.
