Question:
Hello
There has been a lot of questions among bwm 2002 tii owners about the best
way to upgrade the stock m10+KF system -- cams, intakes etc. The debate
always boils down to if the stock KF can be matched with various engine
upgrades, how to do it etc.
I've been sending them to your site as you are the only person I know that
does this kind of thing. I was thinking it would be valuable to us Tiiers
if you could put together a page or two about what is involved in the
upgraded pump, what engine modifications can be made to match your upgraded
pump -- that kind of thing.
I don't know if you need the business, but there are quite a few bmw owners
who might want your services -- especially if there was a fairly clear
roadmap in terms of parts, what to do, etc.
Even a short synopsis that I could post would help a lot
thanks !!

Hi Zachary,
The tii hp kit we install is very simple. This will correct the air/fuel
ratio on modified tii engines. Bigger cams require a non-linear fuel
increase above 4000 rpm. Adjusting the Grub screw on the pump for more fuel
will create a linear fuel increase which will reduce power at the low and
mid range. We install a hand made link to the pump throttle lever that acts
on the Grub shaft which is externally adjustable with small shims. All of
our pumps are bench tested at various throttle positions and engine speeds.
We calibrate our pumps to less than 1/2 of 1% differential between
cylinders.
We have been so busy with other mechanical pump projects and racing that we
never seem to find time to advertise our services to the tii folks. But we
have a high regard for the KF pump and we have done a good number of stock
and hp units. So please let your friends know about us. Some day we will add
a page on our site www.wesingram.com.
Thanks,
Wes Ingram
cool! Thanks Wes!
