Hey guys, I have mounted my 044 under the car with a surge tank (hate the smell and noise inside the car) and I have got a fuel pump control module from a GTR to drop the voltage to the pump at idle.

I plan on using the lower idle 7V supply when my AFM output is under 2.5V, will this be ok for the Bosch pump? I guessed since it was ok for the stock GTR pump to run at this voltage then the 044 should to?

The extra current won't heat it up if there is any?

Thanks Sydneykid for the J Car voltage switch idea :thumbsup: using this to switch to earth and supply battery voltage since the Powerfc does not have outputs to the control module i'm told.

Cheers :D

Yep RB30 in a Silvia.

Have a GTR lift pump in the tank. Overkill but I already had it in there..

The External pump was the one that stopped though

Hope the Bosch Pump can run at a lower voltage.. took a bit of work setting it up.

Are you switching the pump to a dirty earth, or its supply voltage (with a few resistors) ??

Can you quickly feed it max juice to see if its a voltage thing, or something else? Not a one way valve hooked up in the wrong orientation? lol.

I thought they'd heat up as well...

Silvia with RB30 single... your crazy btw hahaha.

It is a volt thing. I can change the settings on my voltage switch and ground it to supply battery voltage and it goes fine.

So the wiring is all working, just not enough voltage.

Its regulated via a stock GTR voltage control module. These control 7, 9 and battery voltage via ground.

As for increased current etc etc. It didn't seem hot even when it wasn't pumping but on.. I am no expert with the I=V/R and power output etc..

I guess because the pump is going slower it requires less amps.. so it won't get hot?

If it was a problem, why would this system come out factory in a GTR? :D

Read the voltage/fuel pump thread... the link is in the Forced Induction Guide :)

Should have just gotten decent fuel lines (stops the smell in cabin). I've seen them and they are tops, look cool too!

I have probably read every thread on this board mate :)

I like the tank under the car, would not have it any other way.. and I wanted a varying voltage signal to my external pump so it's not pumping 800hp worth of fuel between the rail and surge tank on idle.. and for the noise.

Im confident at the 9V setting on the module the pump will work, remembering as soon as the car fires up and vacuum is applied to the regulator pressure is released as well as the battery will supply more voltage once the alternator starts working. The 7v feed may yet even work with the car running.. I ran out of time testing it in the weekend :)

i was gonna say!! where the hell did u find room for it

i tried doing that kinda setup in my R32 GTR and i couldnt find any room wat so ever under the car to do some thing like that

RB30 in a silvia??? dam!! any more details on the caR???

wow thats some series respect!!!

did u upgrade the suspension for the heavy front end???

also wat turbo are u using?":?

i still got all the hicas junk under my GTR i just locked it up with a lock bar

Thanks mate.

It has some aftermarket dampers.. nothing amazing but no problems with weight.

Ballbearing Garret turbo. rated for 600HP or so. very responsive..

Remove all that Hicas junk then! bit of weight with all that. ;)

Cheers :P

I have the same pump and setup in my Stagea, and have the pump at the same place, i run with 12v, i am pretty sure, you have to run it with 12v, but at this place, it is very noisy.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
