Hey just wondering what fuel pump I should purchase for my R30, my current one is whinging and whirring it's head off and will die pretty damn soon.

Mine has just died again. A long story but now I need another pump. Would an R31/VL RB30 pump fit?????

They sure do fit! They are pretty much identical.

I have even fitted a bosch 044 in the factory position!

Will an R31/VL keep up with my RB20, it has around 165rwkw? or do I bite the bullet and go a 044?

Naturally I want to get out of this as cheap as possible.

If my memory serves me correctly the vl turbo pump is an 070.

Will do the job for an rb20. I just went the 044 so know im not gonna be running short of fuel.

Hi,

the 070, 044 numbers, does the numbers represent litres per minute ?

Nigel

its the last three numbers in the model/part number for that pump.

if its not the last three its the first three but im pretty sure its the last three numbers.

has nothing to do with rate of flow.

my mate has a stock vl pump on his RB30et setup.... pushing 190kW at the rears.... through VLt turbo injectors (270cc i think)

is pretty much maxed out

the R31 pump is an internal one, and the VL one is external.

Vl pumps are cheap at the wreckers, just check the km on the dash before pulling one out of a 380,000km wreck...

also give it a really good flush and clean before useing it... hookup wires and run a few litres of fuel through it into a bucket etc...

it may be worth getting a Repco? Ryco? clear plastic high flowing fuel filter too.... then change it in a month or something to see if its full of residue etc

OR you can get new bosch or walbro units for $150 from bursons etc

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
