I just checked mine now. Its sit on 9.5v at idle. We held the revs at 3000rpm when stationary and it sat on 13.5v. So it seems as though if it was under full load it would hit 14v.

The wires I have aren't all that big. Maybe its got more to do with amps more than volts.

Just read the thread on here about doing the direct feed mod. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=91993

It seems it's not really needed for R33's.

So if in fact it does start to run lean at high power outputs it's just running out of puff.

Such was the case with you Jono. It started to run out of puff around 300rwkw yes?

The pump shouldn't really be rated on power, but pressure.

As you can see in the flow chart, the more boost, the less flow it will be able to push against it.

Remember, the skyline rail is 42psi, and if you are running 18psi, then thats 60psi the pump has to push. As you can see, it runs out of flow beyond 60psi.

But power wise, I wouldn't go anything over 270rwkw, and 15psi, as anymore will stress the pump causing it to fail early.

But if in fact the GSS-342 is a high pressure pump as everyone seems to state, it should be capable of pushing 80psi of fuel with decent flow with ease.

I don't quite understand the relation of boost pressure to fuel pressure though. I can understand more fuel pressure results in less flow. Is it for example, 18psi on any turbo will result in 60psi of fuel pressure?

well, think about it.. there is 42psi in the fuel rail to maintian the normal pressure behind the injectors. What about boost pushing back up the injectors?

The fuel pump needs to supply 42psi to the fuel rail, and then another 18psi to "counter act" the boost.

That means a total of 60psi, to maintain 42psi in the fuel rail.

NOw have a look at the 255lph walbro in the chart I have supplied - as soon as the fuell pressure goes above 60psi, the fuel flow drops dramaticly.

And yes, any turbo running 18psi, a T88 or a GT2530. Obviously these turbos would need different flow requirments as the engine with the T88 is flowing more air and require more fuel injector duty cycle (injectors are open for long periods) and needs more fuel flow.

The Lower Specced walbro runs 255lph at 42psi.

I got a Nismo 275lph at 70~psi. BIG difference.

Higher flow at Higher pressure means the pump has more "torque" and can handle larger fuel loads.

Bringing this from the dead.. thought i'd save a new thread..

Can some one help me out abit.. just put in a walbro 341 in a r33 s2 gtst.. runs great.. feels much beta to me.. but maby thats the idea in my head i put one in?..

any ways.. it fixed abit of the issue with 10psi boost in lower revs.. i would normaly feel like im cuting in and out.. Will the stock fuel regulator be ok for 200rwkw?.. with stock injectors?.. or do i need to change the regulator or injectors if i have extra cash.. thanx

oh and.. can i buy a new fuel pump filter sock, the standard nissan one anywere?.. or do i need to order from nissan?.. thanx

Walbro do a Nissan kit which presumably comes with a new sock so maybe try your Walbro supplier for the sock. Stock fpr and injectors should be fine for 200kw. Rewire your Walbro as per the DIY threads - not just for more flow up top but for longer pump life.

hi ,thanx for the help.. i got a nissan walbro kit.. but the sock is sooo short it makes the nissan one look like god.. when your saying rewire, you mean to increase the voltae right?.. working on that next.. might be a silly question, but what open wire do i touch with the multi to see whats volts my pump is running at?.. thanx

actually its 2 metal crimp type connectors with a blue insualtion cover around it - u crimp both pieces to the ends of the 2 wires and then those connectors - male and female, click in together.. Cant find pics of this on the net - wonder if its safe?? like fire safe as it will be in-tank??

I knew I was missing something - no air! Becoming a bit of a bonehead now I guess - actually I think there r pockets of air in fuel, water etc, how do fish take in air through their gills? .. Who cares as long as my fuel tank doesnt catch fire lol..

Can the pump run without the sock - I'm just worried about my sock falling off, I used the stock sock with the stock pump isolator cap as I didnt get a sock with my walbro (lost the retaining pin) - it is tight now but has a bit of play and I'm worried bout that.. The bosh 040 install in the DIY didnt go about installing the sock..

The sock stops particles getting into the pump and causing damage. I have about 10 of them here, pity you're not local. Just fit it like it is for now and pick another one up later.

How did you go fitting it? I read somewhere on this forum a guy buying a standard Falcon V8 sock from autobarn.

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
