i have a small alumimium radiator type thing i was going to use but not sure if its quite big enough.

The measurements are 250mm long 50mm wide and 50mm high, would that be enough.

PS unit has been pressure tested to 90psi is a hydrolic oil cooler in another life.

I have a bosch 044 mounted externally (in the boot, near the battery, R33), it feeds off a 2ltr surge tank that is feed by the std in-tank fuel pump.

I am just trying to grasp what you call normal and noisy. From day one my pump has consistanly been loud, where i can hear it even with a loud exhaust. Now my exhaust does not give me a headache or drown too badly, while crusing at 100, but is acceptably loud.

Also, how can you tell if your afr are leaning out? You mentioned surging, etc; is that like a slight hunt on idle, as mine intermitantly does this, but it usually gets worse when the headlights are on.

Well my pump played up tonight... I've suspected the pump for the last 6 months as its only been the last 6months I've been having the occasional surge feel off boost & light throttle. I've swapped out afms, ecu's, tps, ignitors everything. It recently came good after giving the ic pipe clamps a re-torque (coincidence).

Primed the car, fuel pump made its usual noise but its speed was fast slow fast slow. Cranked the car and it wouldn't kick. Gave it another crank and it spluttered in to life, drove down the road and it just died, no fuel pump noise. Sat for a second, cranked and drove and it appeared fine again.

I'm up for a new pump.

To4gtr, do the stock gtr pumps flow enough for 300rwkw maybe a touch more with 40psi base fuel pressure?

LOL in my limited experience all things electrical, i know that motors just dont heal themselves all that well, they either work or they dont ( not sure about the pump side of this but motor i reckon i know ) if the smoke gets out of the anything electrical they dont work very well after that.

If you dont mind me saying it sounds like you have loose conection some where for it to work and then stop and then work again, no fuse blown or such foul happenings ?

and if anyone can invent a way of putting the smoke back into any electrical equipment you will make a fortune.

FIXED!!!

I asked a mate of mine who had a 1j cresida and he played around with tranny coolers a while ago and had one sittin there which i scored for $20... Got 2.5 meters of fuel hose and mounted it up front.

The pump was allways warmish before and when it was making lots of noise it was very warm.. now after 1 hour and 30 minutes of driving the pump was COLD. cold..... interesting and it makes no loud noises at all anymore and the afr's are stable as hell.

I pulled up at the twin servo's on the freeway after 45 mins of doing 120ks an hour and it was very cold tonight and i felt the pump - cold. felt the fuel cooler and it was not as cold as the fuel pump was but it was not warm either... So i am guessing it is doing the job but it might need to be bigger.....

Weird thing is that i felt the fuel rail on the engine and it was cooler then fuel cooler at the front of the car.. I think i will leave it how it is for now and see how it goes in traffic on my normal working week this week...

So yeah im stoaked.. no more afr issues and a happy "cool" 044 pump not whinging at all! Cant complain for a $35 mod....

Here are some pics.. ignore the cable ties i will be fixing that up shortly :( ran outta time! i mounted one side properly i just gotta extend the bracket a little bit.

I tried to up the boost to 25psi and the coilpacks were dien on me so i taped up the new ones that i had purchased a few weeks ago and installed them and now every time it hits 25psi it was blowing the intercooler piping off EVERY time.. came off 4 times.. so i need to pull them all out and get them welded so they dont come out anymore! one thing after another!!

that's sick! how big is that mofo? that's massive!!

hehehehhehee yeah man i still cant believe that i got it on my fuel line :( its just really overkill if you ask me.. but it works so my pump is happy... pump is happy i am happy... hehee

well done mate going to have ago at this myself

cheers mate - remember put it on the return line so you put it after the regulator as it goes back to the tank.

lol Well you don't. :(

I've had 2 fuel pumps in the past go in a similiar fashion.

One in a VN commodore and another in a VL. Both began working again once given a little time to cool.

I should mention the second VN pump (aftermarket cheapo) simply just died; unlike the first oem pump that worked then showed signs of leanout then worked again once it cooled, it wasn't long until it just stopped working.

Also had a fuel pump die in a 318is BMW. That simply went from good to nothing. Dead.

and if anyone can invent a way of putting the smoke back into any electrical equipment you will make a fortune.

Hahhahahahahaa!!!! maybe you can run a little cooler to keep the smoke temp's down so there is less chances of the smoke getting out...

yeah well i been thinking about that one.. i might have to re-locate it somewhere else later on...

Good stuff - well sorted - however - just make sure you don't have a front end crash, break the cooler, fuel everywhere, flash and goodbye car and perhaps driver.

I'm going to state the obvious here & suggest you take very serious notice to the advice John from UAS gave in regards to where to mount the cooler. Do you think he went to the effort of placing it in a protected (relatively anyway) space & ran the ducting etc just for the fun of it????

BTW, nice work with the fix. Just move the cooler before it BBQ's you or someone else :(

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
