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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
