to all of those people supporting the 255lph walboro pump - they are shit. You need to get the Walboro 255lhp HP version. The high pressure version handles pressure a lot better than the standard 255 one. The standard one is for a NA car.

And I Don't care what you all say - I have one, and I have seen what they do. As soon as you up the boost beyond 10psi, you are playing with fire. The pump can't handle pressures above 50psi very well at all.

Standard fuel rail pressure - 42psi + Boost (10psi) = 52psi.

As soon as this pump reaches 55psi - 60psi, the flow drops dramatically.

Have a look at the Blue line on this flow chart -

I picked up a brand new genuine Bosch 044 pump off ebay for $204.50 + delivery. Going to mount it externally in the boot and draw through the standard intank pump which my mechanic assures me is fine.

So are you saying my mechanic is a liar? personally I would take his word over some random on the internet - no offence :)

Does your mechanic deal with much performance stuff? When it comes to performance some mechanics dont know there arse from their elbow, all they know is servicing etc etc standard stuff.

Talk to a performance workshop or fuel systems shop. Theyll tell you the same thing.

He has a 10 sec RB30DETT powered VH that he built himself, does that qualify? I also went to school with him and he is a very close friend :)

I had the same thoughts as you when he first told me to mount it externally, he assures me it will be fine. Either way, he's putting it in so if it doesn't work he can redo it .

I dont understand why people insist on fitting fuel pumps in the boot, its illegal for a reason, people do die from cars catching on fire. Ever wonder why there isnt one car that is complied that has the fuel pump in the boot?

its because the mechanic is lazy...... simple as that.

Hey champ,

16 is not really a good air/fuel ratio! in fact thats really really lean. I would suggest a fuel filter change, injector clean, and possibly a fuel pressure reg and DEFINATELY a fuel pump. There are a few around 040 bosch, walbro or nismo or gt0r pumps. it really depends what your power goal is. A re-map of your ecu or a piggyback fuel computer like a SAFC1/2 or a Neo will help harness those ponies.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
