R33 Gtr Fuel Pump Upgrade

[abu]

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

I spoke to a few people and everyone told me that the only real drop in ones are the jap ones, NISMO inperticular.

I know thats not reali what your after but i can tell you it was a perfect drop in.

Anyone put a BOSCH 044 into an R33 GTR tank?

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?

ii bought a HKS one and had no dramas although only pushing 400rwhp at the moment, soon to be wound up a bit but was told the HKS (I think 280litre one) is well enough

Stock GTR pump should be good for up to 400awhp.

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.

well then i guess it kinda comes down to which one out of the japanese brands you can get at the best price really!!

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

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.
