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

+11ty

I have a Nismo 600HP one...awesome item. I had to shorten one tube that is all.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
