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?

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
