I have just replaced the fuelpump in my R32 gtst with a R32 GTR pump and it was nearly a bolt right in job. only took an hour and 15.

I had to use the sock from the gtst pump as the gtr sock was too long and fouled on the bottom of the tank. I couldnot clip it on as the clip was around the wrong orientation but it fits snugly under the rubber bottom and backing plate. so it's in and working.

2 questions...

1. How loud are they normally. it wirrs evenly and fairly loud outside the car, and you can hear it mildly from inside the cabin. (my exhaust is very quiet) is it normal for it to sound like I have a boot full of bees?

2. I am running the standard wiring as I do not need the max flow out of the pump and do not want to run it direct feed. Do I need to put a larger fuse in for the new pump?

my standard GTR pump was not audible at all. car has loud exhaust though. but it's definately a quiet pump. i mean, it's an OEM pump designed for average joe who doesn't want a noisy pump.

Quiet. You should barely be able to hear it, if at all.

You've most likely got it mounted to something solid; which is transferring the vibrations to the

tank itself and amplifying the noise.

Case in point: took my GTR pump out of my car (was quiet as) when fitting an 044 and loaned it

to a mate to try in his Cefiro who had a GTR pump we thought was faulty (because of how loud

his pump was). Fired it up, same noise level (i.e. my once-quiet pump was super loud).

The pump mounted onto a stalk hanging down from the lid of the tank with no dampeners;

we're pretty sure this is why it was so loud.

ok It's all good I think. I will fill it up and see how we go. the tank is nearly empty at the moment as I didn't want to open the tank while full of fuel.

also after driving the car today it's not that loud anymore. next to the boot it is loud in the car it's not that loud almost non audiable.

I got a 34 GTR pump in my 33.. and its loud as shit. At idle its loud, as soon as you accelerate a little it gets louder as it has some 2 stage pump thing... its getting pretty annoying.

they only run partially at idle to stop flowing at the full rate when its not needed.

how did it go fitting in the 33gts-t?

does the whole assembly slide in or did u just have the pump and fit it onto the gts-t standard bracket?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
