Hey peeps

Just a few quick questions,

I spoke to my workshop who said it maybe a better idea to get a Walbro pump over a Bosch as they are harder to mount? First up i have no idea where to get a Walbro pump from.

Im looking for about 350rwhp(approx 260rwkw), will a Bosch 040 do the job ok?

Also whats the Walbro equivilant of it if it will do the job?

Ive had a search through and found different ppl are on different levels with diff pumps but can't see if the Bosch 040 would make that power level ok (with injectors etc to suit obviously).

Thanks

Jaz

The 040 would be fine for the power level you want to achieve or you could get the 023 (same size as 040 and still direct intank replacement) but they flow more.

Im against what TO4GTR said about the 040 cause i've had nothing but problems with the 3 brand new Walbro's i've had in 2 different cars but thats just my opinion.

At the end of the day its your choice what you go with but the 040/023 is fine for the power level your seeking and i think the part number for the Walbro equivalent is the 341 :happy:

Where can you buy Walbro pumps at a decent price from?

You can get 040's for under $250, are Walbros much more expensive?

There are a few sellers that stock Walbro pumps and they are around the same price of the 040 (depends on where you buy from) although you can get cheap Walbro pumps on EBay :happy:

Plenty of topics about fuel pumps under the search function, plus if your that affraid of mounting isues, get direct intank replacements, for a little more cash, and reliable as well. IE: Tomei direct replacement, at nengun.

Andrew sells Walbro 500hp pumps for 150 or so.. Check out the sponser section..

heres a link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p?showforum=123

I bought one, but havnt installed it yet..

I've heard alot about the DENSO intank pump they're based on the tomei pumps i think.. easy fit in R33 but a bit pricey.

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
