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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
