my car (r33 gtst) was tuned with all the usual mods a few months ago with the stock fuel pump in my r33 gtst. made 209 rwk on 12.5- 13psi ( slide hiflow.) my car was going good. had an occasional splutter through the rev range. changed it 3 days ago (tomei intank) and wow what a difference in power. And no more splutter.

how much power would i expected to gain and is this normal?

thanks :pwned:

Probably no power increase over all, but its probably running a lot safer now with more punch in the mid-rage? AFR's would probably be a lot better.

But with saying that, you maybe be able to up the boost a little more now, so you will probably seem some better power, but make sure you get it on a dyno sometimes just to check if the AFRs are safe.

The splutter could have been the car leaning out, due to not getting a sufficient amount of fuel from the stock pump. With the TOMEI pump, you get a increase in fuel flow/pressure and its able to maintain a more consistant fuel pressure and prevent it from leaning out.

Something like that!..

upgrade injectors to Nismo 555cc's and push 18psi through that turbo and you'll hit close to 250rwkw.

have fun

im gettin an injector upgrade in 2 weeks and a new z32afm. i dont want to run that much boost though. keep the boost conservative at 15 or so

meh. the turbo is built to handle 18psi all day every day. some users on the forum run 20-21 on the oversize variant no probs. your just missing out on power. your choice though :D

15 or 16psi max i want to run with stock internals. want the car to last a very long time :unsure:

back to topic i spoke to my tuner and he told me that there would be atleast a 5rwk gain now with the new pump on the same boost

yes. I noticed the power difference aswell, after I added my fuel pump also. without changing anything else. Although my difference in power wouldve been less noticable than yours however, because mine was pretty much stock back then, with just fmic and avcr.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
