Fuel Pump Upgrade

hey guys :)

i own a 93 R32 gts-t.

i've been reading up on people's opinions on fuel pump upgrades for most skylines, and bosch and walbro seem to be the main pumps being used.

only thing i'm worried about is if i end up going under 1/3 of a tank, and the car leans out.

it seems my fuel pump is starting to die on me and it's time to upgrade, but i'm not really sure on what to buy.

i've been told to get a gtr pump, but i don't like the whole concept of putting a 14 year old pump into my car.

i don't want to spend a big amount of money for a simple upgrade, since i'm not running any high dependancy mods at the moment.

so what's your opinions?

what does it cost for fuel pump rebuilds?

what's your experiences with the above mentioned pumps?

:(

It just so happens I am in the same boat. I have a 92 R32 GTR. Pump is on the fritz. When under load (on the throttle) the car starts to stagger a little (definately gasping for fuel). I have decided on a Walboro outfit. I wanted to keep it in tank and not set up an external, that is why I went for Walboro. Bosch do have the in tank jobbies but I would basically be replacing the stock one for one of about the same size. The Walboro pump I am getting is good for 700hp and flows 300Ltrs/min and is setting me back around $260. As I will be upgrading the engine quite considerably I figured I may as well get the pump now. Once I have fitted it the Power FC goes in and then tuned and so on and so forth.

I would forget the walbro, and the bosch. get a nismo pump. they fit directly into the tank mounts and are mounted exactly as the stock one was so there are no problems with fuel surge. they have plug already fitted to wire straight in, and they flow heaps. also they are super reliable which I cannot say the same for the bosch and walbro pumps. yes they cost more, but a fuel pump is pretty much the most critical part of a high pressure EFI system.

If you install the walbro and bosch pumps correctly then you will not have the 1/3 tank problem. I have had the experience of both walbro and bosch pump in my 93 gtst and have driven my car 50km after the fuel light has come on and did not run out of fuel.

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
