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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
