Hey guys

Just thought I might start a thread on what fuel pump upgrades you have used in your cars.

I have a 95 r33 gts-t and have just fitted a r34 gtr fuel pump in my car, opted for this as it was a cheaper option than Nismo fuel pump and had good flow rate and enough to handle my target of 230rwkw

Only thing i dislike about the gtr pump is the noise factor, it whines abit and can get a tad annoying.

Anyone wishing to share their experiences on other pumps, eg Bosch, Walbro, Nismo, Tomei etc

Thanks,

Pete

I have the Walbro 255ltr which is the eqivilent to the Bosch 040, Cannot hear a peep out of it at all, and alot cheaper than the Bosch, I had the same issues when looking to upgrade from stock.....and after hearing peoples thoughts i chose the Walbro and am very happy with the decision! I have 212kw and i'm sure it will handle more.....

R32GTR (Z32) pump is 190 litres per hour at 12 volts and supports 420 bhp at standard pressure (ie; 36-38 psi).

R33GTR pump is 210 litres per hour at 12 volts and supports 460 bhp at standard pressure (ie; 36-38 psi).

If you run a relay and direct feed from the battery to the pump (ie; 13.8 volts) then add around 10% to the above.

:) cheers :D

PS, GTR pumps are only noisy if you don't install them correctly, use the rubber mounts and keep the pick off the floor of the tank.

Any you guys that have used the Walbro's had any problems? i've heard they run dangerously low pressure at high revs ?

Sydney Kid : I've been told that GTR fuel pumps whine more in gtst because of the difference in body construction and sound deadening?

I had a walbro in there which fitted fine and wasn't too noisy but at 228rwkw we took the return line off and pointed it into a can whilst the car was on the dyno. At full noise the return flow reduced to nothing more than a few drips. Not even a trickle!

The chances of blowing up my engine were high with that kind of flow so out it came.

Also at idle and low revs the pressure was way too high, like an extra bar too high. This pushed the AFR's off the scale.

I then put an R34 GTR pump in and had none of these problems. It is noisy though so I might pull it out and revisit my mounting efforts.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
