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.

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.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
