So when are you guys meeting at the track to go head to head after this tuning is complete?
Would be a fun race for sure... although, I due suspect after the next battery of tuning Mike is going through, it would be very one sided.

I better cover my backside at the Nat's!

Must you always go that route?! LMAO...
Back on topic... less proverbial poking if you will...
New shoes! On my way for mount/balance etc... old P-Zeros are just at the wear indicators... you can see the top of Lincoln’s head lol...
Got a smoking deal on practically new P-Zeros from @18SHO!
Old ones have probably a few more thousand miles left in them... if you are daily driving it. Not in good shape for a track day, so off they go.

Glad they will be getting put to good use ! Almost no miles on them tires. I bet on warm days and good track prep with about 28 psi on all 4 you'll be golden with traction!

I know there are performance differences between the XDI and the LMS pump. But I like how the LMS utilizes stock fuel lines and stock bolts for the plates.
At this point I’m checking this pump after every drive to verify it’s staying in place.
If it pops out again, completely strips the pedestal, it will need to go to the shop for repairs... in which XDI will be receiving a phone call and bill.

That sucks. If it happens again I can get you a heck of a deal on the firestorm pump.

I wouldn't sell it to anyone else until I can put it on my car and verify it works with my own eyes. I'm just weird like that...it will probably be a few weeks before I do that, so you have plenty of time to test out your new bolts. Hahahaha!

I’m the one that sold you that pump... I know it works cause I pulled it off my car, stuck it in a box, and shipped it to you lol.....
Bubble wrapped, plugged, and sealed... almost sounds kinky...

Noticed some seepage around the HPFP after the fiasco of the bolt breaking...
Removed pump...
Found the gasket between the spacer and stock plate to be torn. Probably damaged after the initial incident but fully deteriorated after being put back together...
Also cause I’m paranoid I quadrupole checked the threading on the right side, still have plenty of good thread left.
Double checked all gaskets for the 6th time...
Bolted all back together with new O-ring. Test drive and reinspect turned out good...
Thus far my impression of the XDI pump itself is good, datalogs show it’s holding pressure better than the LMS pump. However, the hardware that comes with it is junk.

So took her on a road test....
Matt needs to make some small adjustments as the car is very boost happy. Boost is creeping up enough past demanded at part throttle the wastegates are dumping the boost thinking something is off... only happens around 4-5psi steady state..
Otherwise thing runs like a top now!
One of my buddies wants to trailer it to MIR for a track night... seems silly but hey... saves me gas an miles...
Slips coming soon I hope!

So being as I am never satisfied with anything... I decided to dig a bit deeper into why the bolt failed on the XDI-30 HPFP... the bolt supplied are A2-70 stainless steel.. these bolts are used to connect the black spacer plate to the pedestal on the head for the HPFP...
This is a downgrade from the stock bolts. Which I believe are Metric 12.9 grade bolts.
Found this interesting read here... note at the bottom of the page are applications in which a A2-70 bolt WOULD NOT apply..
http://www.volksbolts.com/faq/basics.htm
Where Should I NOT Use A2-70 Stainless Steel Bolts ?
A2-70 Should Not Be Used In Heavily Loaded Mechanical Or Structural Areas.
Areas Of Direct Loading On The Suspension.
Areas Of Direct Loading On The Steering Column And Linkages.
Active Engine Componets (Con-Rods, Crank Shaft, Clutch, Transmission & Power Off-Takes)
Active Gearbox And Power-Train Components
Where Can I Use A2-70 Stainless Steel Bolts ?
A2-70 Can Be Safely Used To Hold Car Body Panels And Bumpers; Wing (Fender) Bolts, Hinge Bolts, Handles, Locks, Light Fittings Etc.
A2-70 Can Be Safely Used On Non-Mechanically Loaded Engine Components Where A Simple Clamping Action Is Required (Subject To Torque Limitations).
i.e: Inlet & Exhaust Manifold Attachment, Ancilliary Attachment, Pipe Clamps, Flange Joining etc.
A2-70 Can Also Be Used For Securing Access Panels, Cover Plates And Accessory Items To The Vehicle.
Basically, my pump was shipped with incorrect bolts for the application in which it was designed to be used. Unfortunately the space plate isn't bored out enough to use the stock bolts are the heads are too big...
If anyone is looking to pickup an XDI-30 pumps, I highly suggest you picking up the correct the parts... I am also emailing XDI this information as well... they should know however.. very disappointing...
