You wrote earlier: "and will the car be running rich after a bigger fuel pump is installed?"

Yes if your stock pump is f**ked and you replace it with an appropriate working pump then your mixtures will richen up, provided nothing else is causing it to lean out like the AFM/ECU etc.

The car will run as rich as the ECU desires, no more. which could be 10-11:1 or so at WOT

K?

  • 4 weeks later...

just got back from hyperdrive and had the same prob...

they reccomended the 040, said bout 550? i think.. for them to modify it and fit it.

not to bad i think......but if theres a direct replacment thatd be heaps better....

is the tomei one a direct replacement or does it need modifying?

They told me $550 too.

I don't want the bosch coz they don't have a pickup at the bottom of the pump. So if ur fuel tank is low or you go round corners hard it might struggle to suck up some petrol.

I think this Tomei one and the nismo one fit in a bit better too.

Or you can go for a GTR pump I'm told but meh.

If you decide to buy a pump and install yourself wanna do them at the same time? I wanna try do mine myself, just for fun. I think a few shops I asked said about 1.5 hrs labour to install.

yeh id be up for that...but if u get the tomei one get it from performance wise.....just goin thru then, there 360 delivered instead of 389 on nengun...

so thats what ill be gettin..may even splurge on a nismo one.

dont think it would be that hard to change.....*famous last words*

also they said the pickup on the bosch would have to be modified, they change the fittings for it. so the pickup would be ok on the bosch one.

This is very strange, but I was at hyperdrive last week and was told the same thing......gtr running dangerously lean....and recommended to change to a Bosh also. $550.

Are all our pumps stuffed..????..

I've been taking it easy till I get another pump and/or re-dyno.

Cheers,

I got a re-dyno at Top Racing after I went to Hyperdrive and got the same problem. So I think Hyperdrive's dyno is fine - we are just all owners of shitty aged fuel pumps lol.

that just happen to pack in within a month of each other, lol, wonder whos is next?

Well I was talking to Hyperdrive about a surgetank when I went down and they said don't bother, they run 044's intank in all their drift cars and have no problems with surge under hard cornering/low fuel levels. Don't quote me :P but they quoted me $220 to install the 044 (including fittings) because I already have the pump (got it for $214.50 delivered off ebay).

It came with a few fittings but they were meant for external use, Hyperdrive were going to supply the fittings required to go from the sock filter to the standard fuel line output. The pump is essentially bare with threads either end, you can source the fittings yourself but I figured it easier to let Hyperdrive get what they need :P

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
