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.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
