they'll both hold up fine. as long as it can keep the pressure up, which either a walbro or a gtr pump will be able to do, in the case of N/A.

So get whatever is cheaper for you.

GTR comes with 300hp factory. and can pump for about 400 or more. so you'll be fine with either.

Thats right, there is no point.

If anything it will just run slightly more rich, which is pointless..

why will it run more rich?

fuel pressure is controlled by the FPR so at the end of the day you can stick a bigger fuel pump and the extra flow provided if its not needed with just be sent back to the tank.

As mentioned, the pump will only make a difference if the old one isnt up to the task, if the old one is capable to send the amount of fuel needed to hold the correct pressure to the fuel rail right through the rev range the wont be a difference.

if the new pump is capible of flowing more fuel at the same pressure yes you will run rich, you would need an adjustable fuel press reg to tune it to optimum presure then you might be able to squese a little bit out of the upgrade but its really not worth it at all untill you neer to or over the flow rate of the current fuel pump, if youve upgraded a lots of things already, ie exhause intake cams, ecu, or turbo conersion ect then yes you will need one but on a stock car its pointlesss

the r33 that we installed a 023 into didnt change in the slightest with the new pump, and thats a pump that is rated to 700hp. Didnt run more rich, and nothing else was changed ie it still had the stock fpr.

i know what your saying but in stockish appilications i dont see how it would make a noticeable difference to the afr

i push a bosch 023 on my car, pushed the fuel pressure from 32psi to 40psi, but thats probably just because of the higher pressure from the pump on the adjustable fpr.

i noticed more response, also - when you revved the car with the old pump the fuel pressure dropped right back and slowly build up (leaning the car obviously when you first stomp it) now it never dips, so its better in that respect.

but then my car needed it, as it now makes over 150kw, and it had a stock r31 pump made to feed about 80...

the only time a new pump will make any difference is if the old one isn't doing the job. i installed a 040 into a mates 33 and it dropped about 15hp cause the old pump was dying and causing it to lean out a bit. the new pump dropped the AFRs to where they should be, and stopped it pinging its arse off.

exactly, there wont be a gain in having a bigger pump, but makes things a bit more reliable if your starting to ask for a fair bit more power than stock

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
