Just a bit of a hijack.

Ive got an rb30det in a 180sx. Its got a 500Hp walbro intank fuel pump in it. Its just at a workshop at the moment getting bigger injectors and a link g3 installed. ( i think they are evo injectors they have sorced). Before it gets put on the dyno, do i tell them i dont want it to run anymore then 14psi? The fuel line pressures that have been mentioned, are these the same through all turbo nissan motors? I wasnt aware how boost affected fuel line pressure.

...What they do is wire relays to bring the second pump online in times of high demand . The downside is what if the wiring/relay failed and the secondaryt didn't start ? Bang ?

More info/pics would be interesting!

Though... just as the factory ECU's on R32's trigger a soft earth for the f.pump; lower flow at idle, the dual "trigger extra pump when needed" Iv seen before. Tru, full load and the pump (for what ever reason) doesnt kick in... boom (ok ok, a cheap closed loop fail safe could be made)

The wider picture though, contains the fact that your using two fuel pumps to provide the vital injector head pressure. In reality if the second pump in a "both always on" situation EVER fails, you could lean out and det a motor, where a single pump should drop pressure more rappidly.

Correct, there are many items in even a stock car, could fail could kill a motor, partially stuck injector, manufacturing dag falls off an oil filter and goes through motor etc etc, but it still plays on my mind.

A single unit that does the job becomes tempting...

Really, even if your pump does drop pressure past 14psi, your tuner could most likely, beef up the cells that are hit in those more loaded conditions.

If you weren't aware that boost pressure effects fuel pressure, i would strongly recommend talking over with your tuner about pumps and what you know about Walbro's.

My opinions only.

Also sort off ..... related .

I think I did read somewhere that the GTR's multi voltage fuel pump powering device works at different voltages (lower in low ?) than a GTST . I fitted an R33 GTR pump to my S2 R33 GTST and it is a little louder though nothing to cry about .

I'd like to now how many voltage steps the GTR switched resistor thing does and how they differ to other Nissans , I just wonder if the GTR's gadget may help people with big pumps in street GTST's .

I was told about a mod to the Walbro that some used to do to get more out of them , its dangerous and illegal and I don't want blood on my hands .

I think the bottom line pump wise is use an adequately sized one for your power goal and not go over the top because it just creates avoidable problems .

All of the R32/33/34's I have tested have 2 voltages for the fuel pump, one around 9 volts and the other 13.8 volts. I haven't spent a lot of time on it but what I have observed is 9 volts at idle, although it seems to be anytime the ECU is running closed loop via the standard (slow and narrow) lambda sensor. Which is logical when you think about it.

Theres a person or two on SAU who's used a Jaycar kit off the AFM signal in his GTST. He's set up the unit to switch the larger pumps earth, through a resister when at low AFM signal output. I think he said it had strong effects on the fuel temperature.

Something like this i would assume, Jaycar kit KC5377

It's a matter of cutting the bottom plate off the stock bracket (normal wire cutters will do it), putting 2 clamps on to hold the walbro and using 2 crimp connectors to connect the wires. I'm not exaggerating how easy it was.

So the Walbro pump does require modifying. I was under the impression nothing needs to be cut, just electrical side of things. And i hve also recently found that the stock R32 pump is almost twice the size of the Walbro, so it wont drop straight in. Is there any tuts to show how it actually fits?

Gary, I tested my Powerfc a while ago and I am 90% sure they do away with the stepped voltage setup and run 14 volts full time.

Can you confirm this?

Mafia,

Whats your nismo part number for your intank ? 17042-RRS41 ? Nismo website lists this pump for R33 GTST, so does slide on this site.

Now i went looking for info as i prefer to check all claims myself as a due diligence thing, and going by the nismo website themselves, there pump chart lists the GTST pump as 4.1 Lpm @ 3Kg/Cm ( 246Lph @ 42.7Psi)

There GTR pumps are still only rated at 42.7psi , abeilt at your mentioned 276 Lph.

So my questions to you are, what part number did you use, where did you get the high pressure rating you mention ( 70Psi) at there 276 lph flow ? Have you seen a flow curve for these pumps you can point me to ?

Gary

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
