N54 RB Ones Arrived

[wheela]

I think so. I think the issue why it was falling flat after 120mph was mostly due to the lpfp not being able to keep up with the demands of the turbos and tune.

Honestly I don't plan on flying around at anything past 120mph. The pump feels like it made a difference off the line too as the engine isn't starving for fuel anymore.

I didn't have any misfires. However @carabuser did mention to me that the fuel delivery was struggling to keep up.

Should I have had misfires?

Maybe it's in my head is pulling more at higher speeds.

I just thought that as fueling couldn't keep up, your hpfp would start to sag, and at a low enough rail pressure you'd start to misfire. I didn't occur to me there may be a point of lower power before misfiring, but I don't know - I've never ran out of fuel capacity on my stock turbo and 93oct OTS tune.

Been reading about some things after a fuel pump upgrade as I'm getting intermitt exclamation triangle on my dash when I get on the peddle.

Only code is in shadow codes. "Control voltage to high"

Is this overheating or just voltage out of parameters?

Some threads say to replace the EKP module. Others say change the voltage parameters for the EKP module.

@NoGuru I saw some post from you about this. What do you think?

Weird honestly. I ran a 450 in the 535 for a year no issues.

Do some draggy runs if you get a chance. Curious how much faster your car is with the Rb ones compared to my oem billets

Official drag runs?

There is a strip near me. I need to figure out all the xhp options to set up my transmission right for that.

The vader stage 2 + pump is a Walbro 525 right? It draws a bit more than the 450s. Some people seem to have EKP issues, other do not iirc.

You could always do the EKP cooling mods as they are cheap and see if it fixes the problem.

That works too but I meant a draggy https://www.dragy.ca/products/dragy...MI9-utr4vt-gIVHxatBh1jkwRuEAAYASAAEgLKavD_BwE. It’ll give you all the performance times.

Oh cooool!

I think it is a DW400.

Yeah. That's easy to do and a good idea anyway to keep modules cool.

My code is high voltage related though. So that tells me the parameters probably need changing.

Sounds like changing the perameters would help vs cooling. I would start there but it never hurts to improve the cooling.
What is the fuel system setup again?

A dw400 pump.

Try the voltage fix first. If you have Protool, it's here: Drivetrain > Fuel Pump > Functions > Voltage Fix

Found this on the Vader site on the stage 2+:

Fuel pump upgrades
tend to pull more current over the stock pumps..
this will lead to overheating EKP modules and
limp IF THE CURRENT EKP IN YOUR CAR IS WEAK...
if this is the case the ekp will need to be
replaced and or upgraded to the EKP3 variant.

Awesome. I have protool. Made finding the fix easier. Thank you!

Ugh...... mine won't do it. Says I have the EKP 3 and it's not codeable.

Bummer. I'm on a trip, but I'll see if I can find the variant I used on my 07 once I'm back mid-week.

Yeah. I've seen a lot all over ebay. Thanks for the link @NoGuru

That's very generous of you @Torgus Thank you. I'll pm you my address.

I did try to see if I could change the voltage parameters but protool said the module I have isn't codeable. Says I have ekpm60 3 03.
