Need Help With 044 Install

The other day I mounted a bosch 044 intank in my r33. At first I left the one way valve thingie on, finished the install and the car didnt start. So I pulled the pump out again and removed the valve as I had been told by another r33 owner he did it the same way with no problems.

Well the car ran perfectly for about 5 mins then it stalled. And now it wont run any longer then 10 seconds.

It sounds like the car is running out of fuel but it isnt. I took the hose of at the fuel filter to check it wasnt a clogged filter or something but there seems to be a nice flow happening.

Any thoughts?

Any one else think its not pump related?

Thanks

David

YEP, you need to bypass the fuel pump controler. (drivers side on the parcel shelf)

basicly run a seperate earth to the pump directly, also run a power wire directly to the pump.)

the relay is on the side of the boot fuse box.

if you can, remove the fuel damper of the fuel line in the tank (the metal thing inbetween the pump and the sender)if it has it....

its purpose is to "dampen" the fuel lines, to stop the hammering noises you get through the lines from the injectors pulsing,

this device can cause the pump(bosch roller cell) to cavitate when the fuel is hot.

the 1 way valve should be removed off the pump to

(unless you use banjo fittings on the pump with a cap bolt on the pump ie:blocks of the thread on the pump fitting with the banjo fitted..)

Ok thanks for the help. I already earthed the ground of the pump. what should i do with the earth lead that goes back to the power fc? Ground it or leave it bouncing up and down with the road??

R31Nismoid ive read that diy aswell as many others and no ones had this problem.

Thanks again ;):D:D

edit. I also drilled straight through the one way valve so I can get a hose to fit on it :D

I just hooked up a 40 amp relay directly to the pump. It sounds healthier now but the car still wont start.

I also took TO4GTRs advice and bypassed the fuel damper thingie and still no go.

Anyone got anymore ideas?

Im about to throw the standard pump back in to make sure it is the pumps fault the car wont start...

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.
