hig guys,

need your help once mor,

ive just gotten my apexi s-afc 2 put in and i got 177 rwkw witht the following mods:

3" exhaust from the turbo

fmic (600 by 300 by 76mm)

turbosmart dual stage boost controller

all this with the stock turbo...

im running 0.65 bar of boost on high, just under 13 psi i think, i thought i could get more boost out of the stock turbo but the guy that dun the dyno said dont push it, so we left it at 13 psi.

anyway, car runs pretty good.

my mate wants to sell me his fuel pump out of his gtr for $200. worth getting??? i mean, i reckon $200 for the pump is pretty cheap, considering the bosch 044 is $400, and if i cant use the pump now i can always put it in later, after i get a bigger turbo.

but my question is if i do put the pump in will i notice any difference in power?? it'll probably drink more but that doesnt bother me as long as theres some sorta power increase.

looking forward to ur replies, thanx

You probably won't notice an actual increase in power, as all you're doing is giving more pressure to the fuel system. Say you put larger injectors in, the current pump may have problems proving enough pressure for the new 'jectors to fire properly. Put in a better pump, the injectors can fire properly, everything's happy. That's what a new pump will do for you. Not a bad thing to do though. Better pumps are generally stronger and less prone to shitting themselves. $200 doesn't sound too bad.

I can buy a Bosch 044 for about $280 (wholesale cost). The GTR fuel pumps are a considerable improvement, but I'd go for a new one considering the price difference. On your current setup it is not necessay, but if you are considering a turbo upgrade in the future then it's worth buying.

No, a pump will pump the same amount of flow constantly, and although a GTR fuel pump does pump more, it is the injectors which use the fuel. So aslong as your fuel pressure doesn't increase then there will be no increase in fuel usage.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
