It made mine run richer.. A Lot richer. hence slightly more fuel consumption and lots of pops and bangs from the exhaust.

One quick question.... Anyone..

I heard Matt's 268rwkw RB25 R32 idling and I noticed that the fuel pump was a little noisy (what mine sounds like on a hot day) BUT.. My fuel pump only operates when you touch the accelerator not when idling.

Mine is setup so that it runs Inline as it is an external pump.

Is that a normal type setup? When you touch the accelerator it activates the bigger pump?

yeah, i would also like to know how loud the 044 pumps are, are they really that annoying? like say compared to the annoyingness some ppl find of loud exhausts on the freeway.... i.e. not the same loudness, but would it be that annoying daily driving?

edit: also if possible, could you give a description of what it sounds like? maybe even a wav or mp3 file would be nice :D

Hmm shit...

alright...because ive been getting round 230k per tank since having it put in...though i also had the timing put down at the same time due to pinging (thought the old pump was on the way out), so i thought that was the main cause of power loss...

So, can we adjust the pressure without a regulator?

I was looking to get 1 of those r32 chips in the 'for sale' section, which is ment to have new fuel maps...will this also help?

    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
