i had my car dynoed (R32 GTS-T) by dr. drift it made 146.9 rwkw but my air/fuel was to lean.

so I brought a new Bocsh 040 intake fuel pump off a SAU member. Iv installed the pump but now it sounds like there’s air in the lines.

It sounds like when u turn the hose on for the first time all the air getting pushed out of the hose.

Any ideas on what this could be?

The 040 is much louder than the original gts-t fuel pump- you will notice it running from now on. Does your car still start/run and fix the lean issue?? If you haven't fitted an anti-syphon valve then you will get fuel feeding back to the pump when it's off, and possibly air in your lines. When you first put your car's key onto ignition, it will prime the fuel pump for a few seconds, this puts fuel upto the fuel rail.. if you have a leak in your fuel feed hose, you'll notice when you turn the car on that fuel will be pissing out of that area because the line is under pressure. i wouldn't worry about it unless there is an obvious sign of leakage or failure.

Driftsquad,

Do yourself a favour and buy a genuine Nismo or Tomei pump specific to the car.I recently had the noisy pump and difficult starting problems that the Bosch pumps give you.Since getting the Nismo pump from Nengun for $387.00 delivered I can`t tell you how happy I am.Turn the key and it starts,first time every time.A little noisier than standard but only at idle.You will always have that priming noise by the way.

Nippon Denso 500hp pumps can be had for $250, direct fit and work a treat

EDIT: Petroject in melb have them but thats retail, if you can find one on the net on something like nengun etc youll get it for around $250

But the bosh pump should pose no problems if its installed correctly, I dont see why youd remove if it its working correctly, also have you taken it back to same to rre-tune it? maybe he could give you some suggestions

ive got a bosch 040 fuel pump in my tank, and am having problems. The car wont start properly, always have to pump the gas until it kiks in, and the pump is very noisy at the start. Quites down after its warm but it is annoying. Im in need of a tune soon, ill have a talk to the tuner bout it and see what he rekons, but i think id be in search for a new pump. Im not happy with it.

Next time turn your key to start, but dont kick it over for 5 seconds or so.

This will let the pump prime and you will find there wont be an issue if its all correctly setup

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
