Highly Modded Z4 Misfire During Boost
Hey all, first post here.
I own a highly modded E89 Z4 that has developed a horrible misfire under heavy boost. I can putt around in it just fine with no issue at all, but the moment I give it the beans, it falls over on its face. Diag revealed zero on-time for injector 1. So dead injector. Here’s my question: The car has Motiv port injection. I bought the car already modded, and as this is my first and only BMW, I don’t have a ton of experience with how these platforms are laid out. My understanding is that the port injection is secondary and the car retains direct injection. So I assume the dead injector would be the DI and nothing to do with the port injection. I’ll supply the build sheet below, but I need to know which injectors to put back in, and how/what is needed to code them properly. Also, I’ve reached out to the builder and have gotten no response. Going to try to follow up Monday, but judging by the build sheet, what would be a solid replacement for injectors? Total noob here, so sorry for any dumb questions! I appreciate any help. Build sheet below. 2011 BMW Z4 S-Drive 35i 25,000 miles Over 600whp (confirmed on dyno with proof) Stage 2+ VTT Turbos VTT Cold side / Hot side inlets ADE 1000hp Front Mount Intercooler Bimmerlife coils + n20 plugs Motiv Port Injection Motiv Custom Tune Fuel-it Stage 2 Pump + Secondary Port Injection Pump UUC Short Throw Shifter Tial Blowoff Valve MFactory Single Mass Flywheel Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Catless Wagner Downpipe Supersprint Midpipe Remus Catback w/ Carbon Fiber Tips CSR Radiator ECS Carbon Fiber Intake KWv3 Coilover Suspension (Corner Balanced) 19x8.5 / 19x9.5 CH-R BBS Wheels Michellin Cup 2 Tires BMW Performance Big Brake Kit 3D Design Front Lip 3D Design Rear Diffuser MSport Rear Bumper Custom Wrapped MSport Steering Wheel All work done by Robert Boreham with Boreham Motorsports (Phoenix) |

You’re in a world of pain there…without access to the builder and tuner you’re flying blind..even a tuned non port injection n54 is a complex beast ..assuming the injector that died is a real one .,it will have an index number…in simple terms you need to buy an injector with the same index number ..or replace the other two in the bank of 3..fcp euro do good explanations on this…the injector has two sets of calibration numbers and you need a bmw coding tool ISTA or Protool to code the new injector s with the DME
