So im getting a fuel pump and regulator installed on my car. Just need to decide which one im getting, I've had an extensive chat with Mark at godzilla motorsports and have been told that the bosch fuel pumps are quite noisy, the walbaros have a bit of screwing around install wise to get them to fit and that in his opinion the smart way to go would be with a Tomei. There a straight bolt on, little noise but are quite pricey.

Anyone got any other suggestions, or any knowledge from personal experiance that would help?

Cars a R34 GTT btw.

Cheers

Sammy

i fitted my walbro with a mate, who helped out coz he has done one before and we had to modify the bottom rubber to make it fit but that didnt take too long, it was pretty much a straight fit besides that. i have never fitted one before and it only took me about 1 hour, having never done it before. wasnt too hard at all.

personally i'd rather go a bosch, but depends on what you want out of the car.If you want just manily bolt on and say 260kw, then go a walbro, if you want more go a bosch, but once again just my opinon and from experience.Id rather have more leeway and more fuel then not enough.Also why other with a fuel reg unless you run big boost and bigger turbo, plus then alot of other high HP cars that i see are still running there original fuel reg.

Ah ok very cool. Well Im having an emanage ultimate installed at teh same time so I think I will just have the pump installed by godzilla at the same time. But from what I was told I just gathered there was alot more screwing around involved with the walbaro as appose to the tomei but apparently not...

as for the regulator. its for future modifications, Id rather have it installed when im doing the Fuel pump and computer than later on when im having the turbo and injectors installed.

Make sure you do something with the intank reg as well, it's a crappy piece of violet plastic inline with the hose, they're not so great. If you can get one from a GTR they're better. Even an R34 GTR fuel reg on the rail is a straight swap :blink:

+ 1 for either the Tomei or Nismo items, i went through the same thing you are going through and decided to bite the bullet and i am glad i did, no noise except when priming for a second, even then it is not bad at all. Your call though i cant comment on the bosch or walbro pumps but i can give a massive thumbs up for the Tomei and Nismo pumps, IMHO definatly worth the $$$.

+1 for the tomei/nismo

Quiet and has good pickup right down to near empty. Good flow rate to and easy to install

have heard nothing but bad things from a mate with a walbro in his 32 4 door and have limited experience with the bosch. Hear its noisey and has a bad pickup

I've got a Walbro in tank and a bosch 044 after the surge tank. The bosch is quite until you start driving hard then it starts to make a heap of noise like a buzz saw cutting wood. It goes back quite again once all has cooled down. First time I heard it I thought the pump was faulty but the second one does the same thing.

Make sure you have a good gaws on the in tank pump as well.

I reccomend the Nismo pump high flow rate and easy to install comes with everthing down to the mounting bracket. Contact Dan from Elite racing he will hook you up. :D

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
