Hi everyone,

What benefit is there in upgrading a fuel pump in a r32 GTR to one that supports higher HP? The car has a power FC, stock turbs, stock injectors, stock FPR. I want to upgrade my turbos when they eventually fail, I have a feeling they would be handy then. If they are useless in a stock setup, what do i need to do to get benefits from them before the turbo swap?

Cheers,

Scratch

Hi

To my knowledge it doesnt matter if you get a bigger fuel pump. This is because your cars computer is still telling the pump to pump the same amount of fuel in. If your looking at getting more fuel into the engine then you need to have the car retuned for this.

This is what ive been told, though im interested in other peoples opinions.

dude, u just how to have a pump that flows fuel to support ur injectors. when ur pump begins to die (im not too sure what hp it is for gtr's but for my gtst it was around the 200rwks) it will start to lean out. with ur mods, id say do ur fuel pump cos it will be close to maxing out. btw ull def need one when u change turbos so id be on the safe side and do it now

buddy u should change your stock turbos before letting them "eventually fail". i was thinking liek you and it may cost me a engine.

I hear you man.. right now there is no signs of it wearing out i.e whining or boost fluctuations. I'll definitely change immediately when I can afford it. for now I'm only running 11PSI and not standing on it.

Yeah i guessed i was already near limit as i'm running stock but tuned up a little. I'm getting only around 285HP at the wheels atm. The new pump is a walbro that support up to 650hp. thinking of getting a adjustable FPR too and then retuning the power FC.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
