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

so i guess the walbro would be ok for this target?

cheers guys

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)

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

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.

  • 8 months later...
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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
