Hi

Wanting to upgrade fuel pump in my R33 GTR, I want something that sits in the factory position and clips in like the stock fuel pump does

Besides the Japanese pumps, TOMEI, NISMO, SARD etc which are like $400 + is there any other pump that can use the standard mounting bracket, in maybe a BOSCH model?

Don't mind if it has to be modified 'slightly' as long as it sits as the factory fuel pump does and flows like a NISMO/TOMEI etc

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

the japanese pumps, nismo, tomei etc are well worth the money. in both of my heavily modified GTRs I used japanese pumps and couldn't be happier. they fit straight in in about 10mins. sure you can hack up your cradle to fit a bosch pump, but the number of times I've seen people fit an aftermarket pump to the stock cradle and then get fuel surge due to improper mounting is insane. considering how important good fuel supply is I would spend the extra few bucks and get a nismo one.

out of the japanese fuel pumps, which do you beleive is the best choice?

they are all much of a muchness. i've used nismo and tomei and hks. if I had to buy one now, I think i like nismo the best. dunno why, I just have an image of them being slightly nicer quality. but in reality there is bugger all between them.

Probably the best thing about Nismo is that 99.9% of the time is going to fit perfectly.

well i just fitted a gen. walbro fuel pump..rated at 550hp..

its like half the size of my stock fuel...

it was the BEST fit...and i didnt think it would..but wen i saw the pump..i was lik wow!...lol

which is way smaller than an bosch 040!!!!!

but i drive a gtst...

But i was gona buy a tomei one..its lik an extra 100ish bucks...

but its really up too u..

it fix a lot of flat spots after installed too.. :P

Thanks for that Adam

Anyone put a BOSCH 044 into an R33 GTR tank?

I put one in a 32 GTR tank; I don't know how different they are internally to the 33 tank.

I wrote a tutorial on it and someone was kind enough to take photos, you'll find it in the DIY section

It may be of some help, I don't know.

In a 32:

* It is not a drop-in replacement (cutting/fabrication/adapters needed, but the work is pretty simple).

* It is as quiet as the standard pump was.

* It flows more than enough fuel at ~65psi (something that walbros seem to struggle with).

If you can verify that your aftermarket pump of choice:

* flows enough fuel at the target pressure

* is a drop-in replacement

I'd go down that path. Drop-in replacements are always that much easier to deal with and you can always go back to standard anytime you want to.

Saliya

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
