How Loud Is A Gtr Foel Pump Supposed To Be?

[CEF11E]

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?

Mine buzzes a bit. Especially when its lower than 1/2 tank. The rubber cover was removed to fit it easier (its a 34GTR pump in case its significantly different to a 32 GTR).

only slight hum for me, hardly noticable

comparing a bosch 040 to a R34 gtr fuel pump, 040 is much quieter i have found - i installed the bosch but the r34 gtr pump was installed at a reputable shop

gtr pump is kinda annoying high whir

my back seat is out and i can't hear a thing with quiet exhaust.

[Noy]

yeah my stock pump is pretty loud. inside the car and outside.

I have a R32GTR pump and it makes a whir at start up then you dont hear it aymore

ive got a 040 and its pretty loud outside the car but inside its not to bad when the cars runing....also you dont change the fuse...the fuse is there to protect the wiring so no u dont change it...

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.

[mr_rbman]

all depends how you mount it, mines fairly loud but that cause i used a metal hose clamp to mount mine!

Mine is the same. Loud and intermitently so at idle (depending on what it is up to).

[frankxinyu]

mine only comes on once in a while for some reason

and yes, it does sound like a boot full of bees

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?

[R31Nismoid]

im running an external inside the boot, and i wouldnt even call that loud at all.

very mild hum

[James_03]

cant hear my stock gtr pump unless the tank is very low like 1/4, then I can hear it humming away.

Never gets below 1/2 tank but so I dont hear it most of the time.
