Fuel Pump

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

2 reasons to change/upgrade fuel pump.

1. Its broken.

2. You're using more fuel than it can supply, in which case your tuner would tell you.

Fuel pump only supplies fuel to the injectors.

I have a bosch one ur rite there noisey thinking bout it now should have gone a nismo alot easier to install less time and effort and more flow

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

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

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:

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

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 could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
    • Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha
    • Shhh... Muricans don't understand the idea of metric so can't find half the stuff we have for modifying JDM cars 😛

    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
