Hey gary

I heard of people running a stock gtr pump or gtst pump in the tank feeding directly to a bosh 044 - is this a bad idea ? one guy has been running his gtr to over 400rwkw like this.

Reason why is because i dont really want to have the bosh pump outside of the tank cover to try and mask some noise and i want to put a xbox in its place instead of putting a surge tank there if i can.

Any suggestions or ideas on what can be done? i would prefer a intank system if i can.

Yep, Walbros are fine as long as they don't have to pump much pressure.

:) cheers :laugh:

I use a standard R32GTR fuel pump to supply my surge tank and 044. Works perfectly as it is pumping against zero pressure. Once you remove the requirement for the standard pump to work against pressure, their flow rate increases exponentially. If you are feeding an 044 directly, that’s even better because they suck, the standard pump is now pumping into a partial vacuum.

I use 044's in tank ALL THE TIME, and I NEVER have a noise problem. People get noise problems because they don't insulate the pump, let the pick up sit on the floor of the tank or let the pump itself touch the side of the tank.

:( cheers :laugh:

I picked up the engine yesterday and got home about 4pm.

Already have it ready to take the inlet system and manifolds. Only holdup will be that I forgot to order a cam belt so will have to get a courier if one is available. Hope to be in and running Monday.

you dont stuff around Geoff.

I finally got my new cat fitted and finished off the exhaust today.

What a difference, it now comes on boost so quickly for a big turbo. Im not going to gas it much until it gets tuned on Wednesday as Id hate to melt this new cat :D

excellent work geoff. Im keen to see it when its all done if its actually in brisbane at the moment? Or still down in mexico?

Hey brad, i pressure tested the pipework earlier on in the week and found a pretty bad boost leak...it could explain something lol. I fabbed up a new turbo to i/c pipe so it seals better and flows better also. No more leaks now, however its gotta go back on the dyno to see if that was the power stealing problem. Good to hear you got your exhaust all sorted, im interested in what power you end up making when it gets tuned. Keep us filled in mate.

Hey Shane how did you go with getting the engine to sit right?

yeah i did sort it out - the problem is my new carbon fibre bonnet sits too low :P i had a std one and placed it on, and bingo, as soon as the gearbox is bolted up she'll sit sweet as. so gotta get a new cf one that actually fits, sigh, more farken money :laugh:

oh and i can also note, there is ~10mm clearance between the front axles and the cross member! lol

shane your car is a never ending project. Its like that damn energizer bunny.

ur telling me. it seems that when i get something finished, another problem jumps and thats gotta be fixed

P.S did u change to a T04z?

just out of interest would there be much gain in doing a 25/30 in a relativly stock car usual mods which i have at the moment PFC, Exhauste, Cooler boost at 12psi.

the reason i ask is that a mate of mine that is a mechanic has a couple a rb30's hangin around and is trying to convince me to put one in (its not going to cost much to do as we will leave the engine as is)

I plan on going a highflow and injectors in the near future and think i will be happy with that for at least a year or so.

so in the end will it be worth it on a fairly stock car? more than anything im looking for torque and driveability

thanks!

Dan

The stock turbo will absolutely kill any top end you have, itll drive like a diesel topping out at 4k, Id wait till you can afford to do everything properly so to save on dyno time and everything else.

Brad, What Rpm does the T04z hit full boost, say in 4th gear? What rear housing you got?

Hi I have read a lot of the last 247 pages and searched as much as I can but still have a few unanswered questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with. Im putting the rb25/30 standard bottom end engine in a r32 and gonna use a TO4z turbo. The car will be used for track days, tarmac events, and the like.

So here goes…

1. If (can) I use a RB26DETT d-jetro power fc. Ive read its been done before but with what sensors? I’m hoping to use my rb20det sensors and loom.

2. If I use the d-jetro will it control the VVT solenoid in my RB25DET head? If not, can I remove the vvt pulley and cam and use a RB20DET cam with adjustable pulley.

3 If I can I would probably get it ground for longer duration and higher lift, I think SK recommends 264 – 270 duration – but what is the max lift I can use without having to machine anything.

4. Will the PFC run high and low impedance injectors?

5. If the vvt cam is removed can I supply the oil for the cam bearing via the vvt solenoid hole?

6. How do I get top feed injectors to fit an rb25det (side feed) plenum. Is there a seal or o-ring I can use?

Thanks heaps for the help.

Rob.

1. You probably can use the d-jetro but so long as you use the correct corresponding sensors and adapt them to the rb25 head. Whether rb20 ones will work only someone whose done that before will know. SK will more then likely know, as i think he may have used a rb20 loom with his 26/30 in his r32.

2. Highly unlikely as no gtr had or has the vct thats found in rb25's. Not sure on what cam you could use to replace it though. However StockyMcstock removed his vct and runs a normal 'non vct' camshaft i believe.

3.not a 100% percent sure on max lift but i think its something like 9.0mm maybe 9.5mm, i know poncams at 8.5mm clear but i think once you start getting higher then around 9 you need machining done so lobes dont hit the head. Perhaps someone else knows for sure.

4.one or the other unless you can run a resistor pack inline somewhere. Being a gtr comp you will probably have to run with low imp top feeds i think they are.

5.If you checked back alot of pages ago, StockyMcstock talked about how he blocked off the vct. The std bearing holes still provide oil for the camshaft and the front has its own supply i think it doesnt rely on the vct feed that bleeds off into the camshafts feed.

6. No there isnt, you will need a top feed fuel rail, aftermarket unless you can adapt a gtr rail to it somehow.

You should have gone through and read from start to finish all of the 247 pages and you would have come across almost enough to answer those questions. I was lucky, there was only like 160 or so when i started reading into it, took me about a 2-3 days of reading every night after work for a few hours.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
