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.

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
