I have a RB25DET with PFC, GT30R, 040 fuel pump, 740cc injectors, stock fuel regulator.

my fuel pump is very noisy. it was brand new. its actually the 3RD brand new 040 i have had fitted to the vehicle and all have been very noisy.

it has been confirmed that the pump has been installed correctly.

when squeezing the fuel lines connecting to the stock fuel reg, the whingy pump goes quite, but after u release the lines, it goes noisy again.

the car coughs and splutters with anything more than half throttle, or pretty with any positive boost pressure.

i have looked and cant find any kinks in any fuel lines or anything like that, could there be an issue with the stock fuel regulator?

I have come to the conclusion that 040 fuel pumps cant possibly be so bad that 3 brand new ones can fail, so i am refusing to believe there is a fuel pump problem.

any thoughts?

cheers.

yes its been tuned. i have checked the pump filter and its pretty clear.

the car drives perfectly fine off boost, but as soon as you try and sting it, its coughs n splutters.

coilpack and ignition has been checked and is fine.

pump is still very noisy.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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 dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
