While we are on the topic of fuel pumps, who is running a GTR pump. I have been told that if you wire a GTR pump to get consant 14.5 volts. it can support up to 400RWKW is this correct? I had a walbro in my car and now l have a GTR pump wired

up in the mentioned configeration supporting well over 300RWKW.

400rwkw out of a GTR fuel pump? Sounds like a load of shit to me.

I got 300rwkw out of my walboro 255lph, BUT it wouldn't go below 12.8:1 afrs... I didn't mind because I run WMI.

I opened the injectors full on the power fc and the afr's didn't change.

So it would be safe to say that the walboro 255lph could only hold 250rwkw safely. Anything else and you're asking for a blown engine.

Anymore more than 14psi of boost is asking for trouble with them too. A lot of people are too ignorant to understand that boost has a heavy impact on the fuel pump that you are running cause boost is pushing back on the injectors..

I could be wrong but i think you would need an external set up to safely push 350 rwkw, especially if you are going to hit the track with it.

So you would need a surge tank, bosch 044 and use the pump already in the tank as a feeder.

Just my opinion though

Im not guna be hitting the track but I was hoping I didnt need to go external, I have spoken to a few people and everyone has had different opinoins so far which makes it even harder

Well Ill answer your question,

NO A WALBRO WILL NOT HANDLE 350+ RWKW..

NO A WALBRO WILL NOT HANDLE OVER 14PSI (I.E will no longer work at max capacity)

NO A WALBRO WILL NO SUIT YOU, YOUR OTHER OPTIONS ARE NISMO, TOMEI (they are the best options) YOUR OTHER OPTION IS A BOSCHE 040.

Nismo and Tomei drop in, Bosche 040 requires modifications.

(I got all this infomation from reading this thread, perhaps you should also do this.)

Well I cant see how a bosch 040 will handle that sort of power when the pump only flows 102l/h @ 6.5bar, maybe at least a bosch 044!

can people just understand that the xxxl\ph means nothing unless you look at the pressure against it?

For example -

205l/h at 70psi will flow more than a pump that does 255l/h at 40psi WHEN the pressure required is say, 60psi.

Im just preaching what people are saying..

14psi + 38psi fuel presure = 52psi .. was it not said that that pump was tested at 3bar? 14.2psi x3 = 42.6psi .. so 14psi is already higher than rated presure..

So your no longer running 255lph.. its still working but your running less fuel because of more presure.

Thats my understanding of it all, btw I cant remember what one bar is in PSI so its round about that.. I no its 14.2 or 14.7 isnt it?

risk vs cost i guess is important here

if you can save $300 but you find the AFR's drop off the face of the plannet at 5000rpm on full load, lean out city + rebuild time

then is it really worth the cost saving? why go all out on a psycho build only to skimp on something as important as fuel delivery

no fuel is fine, less fuel than expected is not however, thats when it leans out off the planet and rebuild light comes on

Who says you NEED 255lph at 14 psi? You have a nice graph that Mafia posted on the previous page showing you the flow characteristics for the pump. You can work out that at 52psi pressure it's supplying approximately 204lph. The next step in claiming that the walbro outright can't handle 14 psi would be to work out how much fuel the RB25 needs.

From http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/FY...-Fl-t47081.html (you'd want to confirm this), the RB25 injectors flow 440cc/min at 52psi. 440cc/min = 26.4lph, for 6 cylinders that's 158.4lph. Less than 204lph if my maths is correct.

So please stop preaching rubbish.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
