Description
Take your M157 build to the next level with the Spool Performance FX-170 High-Pressure Fuel Pump System – engineered for enthusiasts who demand more power, more ethanol compatibility, and more reliability. Whether you're chasing horsepower on E85 or installing larger turbos, the FX-170 delivers the fuel your M157 needs to thrive.
What is the FX-170?
The FX-170 is a fully plug-and-play upgraded high-pressure fuel pump system for the Mercedes-AMG M157 platform (5.5L Biturbo). With a larger bore than the factory pump, it provides ~50% more flow, supporting higher ethanol blends and increased fuel demands from turbo upgrades or aggressive tuning.
Why Upgrade to the FX-170?
The stock M157 HPFP becomes a limiting factor when you're:
- Running high ethanol blends like E85
- Upgrading to larger turbos
- Pushing the limits of factory fueling
- Chasing 700+ WHP goals
The FX-170 eliminates this bottleneck and ensures consistent, powerful, and safe fuel delivery at elevated performance levels.

Tune Requirements:
- Calibration/tune adjustments are required when installing FX-170 pumps. Spool Performance can provide your tuner with the necessary calibration data.
- Do not start the car with the upgraded pump without the proper tune—this may cause damage and void warranty.
Low Pressure Fueling Advisory:
To maintain reliability and avoid damage, proper low-pressure fueling (LPFP) must accompany the FX-170. Starvation can damage the pump's piston and bore. Spool Performance recommends upgrading to a Stage 3 LPFP when running this high-pressure setup.
