Hey

You can use an original WALBRO pump, they are about $160 delivered from SLIDE in the for sale trader section.

BOSCH 040 I believe is the one your chasing, that is also a good option.

Personally would go for an original WALBRO as they are very reliable pumps. Few people pushing 300rwkw with them, as well as being very easy to install!

Its been covered heaps on the forums. Check the DIY/tutorial section and you will find and installation guide more than likely, also search the forced induction section for like "what fuel pump" and you should get a lot of results.

Good luck.

You can use either, the 040 has a filter built in and has to be mounted low, the 044 uses the standard sock filter and hose. If your r33 is stock you don't need either, if it's making 220rwkW - 280rwkW use the 040, if it's making 280rwkW - 400rwkW use 044.

Dont skimp on you fuel pump choice,go Nismo or Tomei,they are direct fit,and will easily cater to your power goal.

atm i'm making 180atw

but aimming for around 220-240

yes it will be ok for that target but not much more

if your dead set you dont want no more than get the walbro/040 but MAKE SURE you dont want to go more because you will end up buying twice like alot of people

if i were to do it again, id spend the extra $250 and get a nismo/tomei from the start (ill have to do this when i change the turbo)

TOMEI or a NISMO?

Man if you got the cash to spend $500 on a fuel pump then go ahead.. but a WALBRO pump for $160 delivered will serve you the EXACT same purpose.

There is a guy with an R33 which is running 300rwkw on a WALBRO pump.

theres been alot of people that have had problems with walbros running lean as they get higher up

sure they should handle up to about 300kw but usually they dont

i have one and its fine but im only running 200kw..

anyhow its just what i have read from others exprience so dont take my word for it

there is a fuel pump control module (FPCM) which regulates between a low and high volume mode, other then that it just pumps either of the 2 modes, that being said in your engine bay is a fuel pressure regulator (FPR) which regulates the pressure of the flow into the fuel rail meaning that the pump just pumps at its one speed all the time and the FPR regulate it for you.

that why these guys are saying it doesn't matter which pump you go far, if the WALBRO is leaning out up top its because it pumping at maximum pressure / volume and simply cannot supply more fuel.

the FPR cannot up the pressure provided by the fuel pump merely reduce and regulate it

Would there be any problem with running a Tomei pump on a stock (with turbo back exhaust) R33 GTST. Would it run unnecessarily rich or does it only pump what is required?

You wont have any problem at all, it'll run fine (fuel reg will regulate pressure).

After much research and pondering what pump I should install (040, 044, Walbro 255, Tomei kit etc) I came to the conclusion that the Tomei kit (has everything you need including new seal, clamps, harness, wiring etc) is well worth the $360 advertised in the classifieds of this forum. It was a easy direct install with no modifications.

I've just bought a new Walbro fuel pump from Slide, should be here on Monday.

I opted for the Walbro because I'm only aiming for around 200rwkw.

hey just wondering that walbro fuel pump that you got is that from the trading post

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
