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?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
