Guys,

Basically, I am putting an RB25 turbo onto my RB20. I'll upgrade the fuel pump, and maybe get a fuel reg.

So given that the Walbro's don't flow aswell as the Bosch's, for a target of maximim 200kw, realistically I am guessing 180kw, what would be the best option?

It seems everyone has a go at the walbro's, but unlike the Bosch's they APPARENTLY;

- Bolt straight in (Don't require mods to mount/fuel lines/extra fuel lines to reach bottom of tank)

- Don't have 1/4 tank issues.

I will put the effort in to install a 910/040 if I have to, but is there any need? I don't want to get a 2nd hand GTR pump.

Cheers

Chris

what about with the same amount of power ie 200rwkw but using an aftermarket turbo or high flow turbo maybe running about 16 psi max, would the walbro item still be sufficient. again on the rb20, reason i ask is that im in a similar situation as eXc.

That's where I am at aswell, as I will be using a bigger turbo (rb25) possibly a high flow.

walbro will be fine up to 200rwkw anything over get the bosch,

they really arne't that hard to fit. but if you are going to use the bosch you will probably need to run direct feed from the battery as the current draw is a lot higher than the stocker and may blow the fuse (it did in my car)

why not the gtr pump? mine is doing fine on my rb20 upto 270rwkw

if you wanted a new pump i would go the 040.. my brother had one in his old r33 gtst and never had problems with the quarter tank issue.

I'm considering ripping my bosch pump out come summer as bosch pumps sound crap once the weather warms up.

I'll be dropping a new pump in so it will most likely be something along the lines of a tomei/nismo internal pump. They are both around the $300 mark. I won't go a second hand gtr pump as second hand really isn't worth the trouble when it may get a little lazy 6months down the track.

Where did you find that price? They have all been $400 + when I looked.

2nd hand - Same reason I dont want a GTR pump

I ran a walbro at 240rwkw and 16psi no problems on a hiflow turbo and 555 injectors, pump handled it all fine.

Yes, i've since sold and installed another brand, but I'm setting up for 270-300rwkw, thats a fair difference.

As did my "mint" GTR pump, had a workshop put it in, had been working fine for about a year until a couple weeks ago when my car started running very, how can i say, shit. Turned out it was the GTR fuel pump so i replaced it with a in tank VR commodore replacement fuel pump ($95 brand new, all i could find at the time) put my car on the dyno again to check A/F ratios and they were all sweet at 160RWKW

i picked a Denso high capacity pump that flows around 300 l/h. its a direct fit and its not as much hassle as a bosch pump with the messing around with the intank brackets and that. it cost me around $250 if i recall correctly

its good for around 300 rwkw.

anyway just thought i would give you another option

cheers

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      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!
