Description
The Spool FX-170 High Pressure Fuel Pump System is the ultimate upgrade for the Mercedes-AMG M278 platform, designed to provide a 50% increase in fuel flow compared to stock pumps. Built to meet the demands of higher ethanol concentrations and larger turbo setups, this E85-compatible pump is the perfect solution for performance enthusiasts looking to push their engines further without compromise.
Why You Need the FX-170:
50% More Flow, More Performance
The stock high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) on the M278 is severely limited in capacity when pushing the engine for higher power outputs. The FX-170 addresses this issue by providing 50% more flow than the stock pump, ensuring your fueling system can support the added demands of bigger turbos and higher ethanol blends. With this increased flow, you can unlock the full potential of your performance modifications.
Fully E85 Compatible
The FX-170 pump is designed to work seamlessly with E85 fuel, making it the ideal choice for enthusiasts running higher ethanol concentrations. Whether you're upgrading your fueling system for higher horsepower or optimizing your setup for track days, the FX-170 ensures a steady and reliable fuel supply under demanding conditions.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Installing the FX-170 is made easy with the plug-and-play design, which requires no cutting or splicing of fuel lines. The included installation hardware makes setup a breeze, and you'll be ready to unlock more performance in no time.
What’s Included in the Kit:
-
2x FX-170 upgraded high-pressure fuel pumps for increased fuel flow
-
1x Bosch spec 10-micron high-flow fuel filter for superior filtration and protection
-
Upgraded fuel lines and all necessary installation hardware for a seamless installation
-
Optional ethanol content monitor kit (with mobile app) for real-time fuel monitoring
-
Spool 10-micron filter unit for the best filtration without pressure drop
Spool 10-Micron Filter Unit:
The Spool 10-micron filter unit provides exceptional filtration, helping protect your high-pressure fuel system from debris and contaminants. With minimal pressure drop, it ensures your fuel pump and injectors stay safe and free from damaging particles, allowing for smoother and more reliable performance.
Spool Ethanol Content Monitor:
The Spool Ethanol Content Analyzer (ECA) features a digital readout of in-tank ethanol content and fuel temperature, providing precise and real-time information for your tuning and fueling setup. The mobile app uses BLE 4.0 technology, making it easy to monitor ethanol content directly from your phone, ensuring optimal fueling and performance.
Tune Changes Required:
The FX-170 upgrade requires custom tuning to maximize the performance of your high-pressure fuel system. Be sure to apply necessary calibration changes before starting the car with the new pumps installed to avoid potential damage and warranty voids. Spool Performance can provide calibration details for your tuner or help you connect with experienced tuners familiar with these pumps.
Low Pressure Fuel Pump Upgrade:
For optimal performance, proper low-pressure fueling is critical for maintaining the functionality and durability of high-pressure pumps and injectors in a direct injection system. Without adequate low-pressure fuel supply, damage to the pump and injectors may occur, leading to costly repairs and voided warranties. Ensure your fuel system is upgraded with the correct low-pressure components when installing the FX-170.
