One man's junk is another man's treasure, you trying to get rid of any of them? I'd buy one for the right price
New HPFP Upgrade - SpoolPerformance Helix

I'm going to say yes. It has anything and everything for the DME. What tables are connected to others, functions. Only issue is it is in German. I figured I'd ask to see if the people who could actually use it already had it, or if it would be useful if public.
I thought the n55/s55 were already well documented. Perhaps this is what they are talking about?

Just went 10’s yesterday with a overdrive!

Na that’s slow it’s just stage 2’s barely working I have stage 4’s in the 335is and nitrous should run deep into the 9’s.
Seeing as no one seems to care about the document I guess so. Was just hoping to trade it for the N55 hpfp tables.
Hey Guys..... My Current HPFP is still doing a great job, but the engine is now at 92K miles and I want to replace the HPFP as a part of my performance upgrade program. Ive been told not to bother with the Spool Helix because of concerns about damage to the drive system and timing chain tensioner. And I'm not really a fan of the VTT Shotgun system.
So, I'm on the look out for other HPFP upgrade options, before I go buying another stock OEM one ??.
Port injection is your best bet these days for real reliable power. Helix works but the question is for how long.
I wouldn't replace it but that is me.
PFS has their POD coming out soon or so I hear. I am guessing it is another over drive unit.
At the end of the day all of the HPFPs are still limited by the injectors. If shooting for high HP PI is still required. Given how inexpensive PI is I would go that route vs. messing with the HPFP etc.
I'm probably going to get a TBI Kit from Wedge Performance. But I was just thinking of upgrading my HPFP anyway. As the existing one has a lot of miles on it and replacing it, just seems like good maintenance. So why not upgrade at the same time ?.
Yes people should learn from my mistake. I purchased a used helix ran it for like 3 k miles approximately the rattling started getting so severe that I eventually took it out to inspect it and the helix itself was just leaking all its bearing grease out from the seals. You can make 700wheel on the helix I would say but its so hard on all the other components around it its just not worth it. On top of that spool will not warranty the helix if you do not buy it directly from them. They probably have some of the worst customer service that I have dealt with in recent memory will not respond to my emails about my ethanol sensor not working and I assure you I have everything hooked up properly.
You only can buy remanufacted hpfps anyways. The old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it applies to the hpfp in my opinion.
As far as I know the injectors are more than capable of spraying as much fuel as you'd ever need. The limitation is the pressure in the fuel rail due to the hpfp. Hence the overdrive and dual hpfp solutions.
Would be great if someone just designed a hpfp with bigger chambers to move double the fuel or more...
