On a stock fuel/ecu/turbo setup will an aftermarket fuel pump give a power increase? I was going to leave it stock but my mate said a Walbro or Bosch pump will give a little more power, plus my pump is getting old now.

Is this the case? Or is it pointless with a near-stock setup?

Thanks

More fuels is better that no fuel in that case i found that out. before i did a turbo upgrade I have a stock turbo and a bigger fuel pump and I got less horespw but I wasnt so lean i was richer then after my turbo I havent had a problem since I done few dyno runs and never has it beeen too lean

Omar not bosch its gay n noisy .. hks or walbro or nismo or tomei

n u might see an improvement but doubt it with ur mods. your going to see more improvement with a safc piggy back (just got mine installed and man its quick) Id chase one first and get dyno'd and see how lean you are. if you get bogging and that sort of crap when your upping the boost than yes a fuel pump is a NEEDED upgraded.

A general rule is upping boost, up the fuel. screw injectors for ur car atm

Yeh was gonna come down Nat and check out the tune. So you reckon don't bother with a new pump (Nismo/Walbro sound good to me) until a piggyback job is done?

Sweet, an SAFC is on the cards then, after i repair my exhaust manifold hehe.

Looking forward to seeing how the 34 goes dude :)

You will only "make" more power, if the current pump can not supply enough fuel... which is a fairly major issue in itself.

Fuel pumps are good insurance as stocker gts-t pumps really aren't that crash hot in anything than a factory application

I went and got a dyno purely to see what power my car was making and the operator told me it was running lean.. so I'm glad I went and found that out!

Graph below was with 3" catback/intercooler... I've since replaced the fuel pump with a Tomei one. Getting a safc in soon and a tune!

The AFR isnt super lean I guess, but I'm sure it would only get worse!

Point taken

Safc is poo i heard?

pfc ftw :rofl:

yeah fuel pump + reg works the magic in your fuelling system, id say is a must if you think for "increasing" any power

:ph34r:

Ok ok, safc would be the budget choice :wave:

reg f**ks fuel flow, stock factory flow that is.

Pointless unless maxing out injectors.

You'll eventually need a pump Omar its just a matter of time, hell if it fails Phil has one anyway lol

Yes, ur right i'll bite the pump...errr bullet...or whatever.

Phil has a stockie or aftermarket?

What pump did you get? And what about getting a regulator?

your afr's should of been sitting around 12 or under. afr's hitting around the 14:1 under full throttle is asking for a new motor.

In other words, your car was running dangerously lean.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
