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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
