EA888 Gen3 High Pressure Fuel Pump

The HPA High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) HVA-275 is engineered to meet the demands of high-performance EA888 Gen3 engines. While the stock OEM Hitachi pump operates at a maximum of 200 bar (2900 PSI), which is sufficient for standard power levels, performance tuning and hardware upgrades push the fuel system to its limits. This HPA upgrade allows tuners to increase fuel pressure beyond 240 bar (3480 PSI), ensuring adequate fuel mass delivery for significant power gains. Each HPA HPFP starts with a brand-new Hitachi/OEM unit. The internal components, including the piston and sleeve, are precision-machined to strict tolerances and then coated with DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) for superior durability and reliability. HPA ensures quality control by providing fully assembled pumps, eliminating the need for special tools, bearing separators, or hydraulic presses during installation, which simplifies the process for DIY enthusiasts. Installation is described as a straightforward bolt-on process, perfect for DIYers without requiring special tools or equipment. This direct-fit design saves both time and money, and importantly, allows you to retain your original fuel pump for future projects or a return to stock. The product is intended for engines running the OEM Hitachi pump and is not compatible with vehicles using the Bosch pump; visual inspection to match the pump's appearance is recommended. This HPA High Pressure Fuel Pump is a crucial upgrade for all Stage 3 applications, offering increased fuel flow rates for enhanced reliability. It is compatible with a wide range of VW and Audi models equipped with EA888 Gen3 engines, including various iterations of the Audi A3, S3, TT, and Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Golf R, Alltrack, GLI, and Atlas. However, it's important to note that fitment may vary for some 1.8T engines, and users should visually confirm the pump's appearance matches the HPA unit before ordering.
