Guys,

It may seem to be a silly question, as i havnt been bothered to check (lazy), but is the fuel pump in the R33 gts-t an internal tank pump of is it mounted outside the tank?

I am looking at putting a larger fuel pump in but am unsure whether it is an internal or external one. Please help!!!

Also what pump it the optimum one?

Cheers,

Kris:)

It's an internal pump. You can mount bigger pumps either internal or external depending on which one it is.

Bosch 044's pump alot of fuel, but unless you have 500hp not necessary.

Something like the Bosch 910, about $200 is more than enough for most. Can be mounted either internal or external.

You can also buy a surge tank which will keep the original internal pump but use an external pump on the surge tank. Keep in mind that this will be quite loud from the cabin, which is the main reason I didn't take this option.

The beauty of Bosch pumps is that most can be mounted internal or external, so once you take one course of action you can change it around later (to/from surge tank to internal tank for example).

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
