Who has used the SARD 280l fuel pump?

Whats it like to fit?

How much noise?

Lasted ok?

As good or nearly as good as the nismo item etc??

Can handle 300kws??

Is it a straight drop in? Do i need anything else with it?

Just i can get one a bit cheaper than the nismo item.

Cheers

Also while people are looking can you answer this. if i bought 700cc injectors they would be big enough for what im after. But i can get a cheap set of 800cc injectors, to big for what im after. would this cause any problems etc?

i spoke to dom at protek when i got my car tuned, and the sard 280 for the 33 is a drop in replacement, he also recomended the bosch 044 (direct fit, just have to use the existing fuel pickup line and filter). my aims are 280awk and he said it would be fine, hope this helps.

The bosch is not a drop in fit for R32 GTR, so i went with a 500hp sard (not sure how many liters that is). Nice easy fit - no extra noise. The bosch would have required me to throw away the pump cradle, so i would have lost pickup depth and sound insulation.

The first answer;

280 litres per hour = 4.667 litres per minute = 4,667 cc's per minute = 6 x 778 cc per minute injectors.

But the important question;

280 litres per hour AT WHAT PRESSURE?

his got a point with pressure thou. because it might flow enough fuel for 600hp.. but @ 70psi. most regs run 40-50 hence not enough fuel flow

Btw.. why would u change ur fuel pump a GTR anyway? they flow like 276lts of fuel @ stock pressures anyways!

i got 289awkw @ 15psi and i was runnin 17.5psi b4 the rebuild... thats over 300awkws and never had a fuel problem.

stock GTR pump is closer to 190l/h, not 276 as you mentioned.

really?? so whats the theoretical hp limit on a gtr pump?? as far as a dyno figure goes.. im on 287.8awkw @ 15.2psi.. but i run 17psi now instead... so i should be seeing either just under 300 or just over 300... and the afr was pretty good

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
