Fuel Pumps Compatible With R32 Gtst

[jakez88]

hey guys would just like to know what i can upgrade my pump to without doing any major modifications. for example could i pretty much plug and play a 32 gtr or 33 gtst pump where the stock r32 gtst pump is? or is there abit of modifying? also would i have to run gtr injectors or after market ones if i ran one of these pumps?

my car is just absolutely stock and fuel pump could be one of the reasons of my power cut out issues so want to rule it out plus might aswell get something abit better.

i just want something a tad better then stock without having to modify anything. let us know what way would be best.

any one?

Mate I am fairly sure you can fit in a new Walbro fuel pump without modifying anything - check out sliding performance in the trader sales sections and speak to Slide

I pulled out a gtr pump from my tank and installed a bosch 044 in its place. Same holder as the gtst as I have the smaller tank not the gtr one. Gtr pump fitted in the cradle nicely.

awesome thanks for that mate...how about r33 gtst ones? how do they flow compared to r32 gtst?

Personally, I wouldn't bother. For what you are running maybe a bosch 040 would be the best recommendation.. That is if you really have a problem with your pump. Have you had it on a dyno and seen what the fuel pressure sits at on load? Have you beefed up the voltage at the fuel pump (relay switched direct feed wiring)? Do the real easy things first before you swap parts out, work smart, not hard. Always start with diagnostics.

I wouldn't know about any others, mine came with a gtr pump and now has a bosch 044 intank. Noisy beastie and could be too much overkill for what you need. Used a walbro in my brothers eb-xr8 that is still going well after three years but would hesitate before putting one on any car I own.

A bosch 040 isn't a straight swap either - you will have to do some bending and or cutting of the pump bracket. If you want a straight swap the nismo ones will fit straight in, or a GTR pump (i think). I ended up using a walbro one which fit onto the original fuel pump/cradle - not perfectly, but without permanently modifiying anything.

If you do end up deciding on an 040 though, I have a brand new, unopened, one for sale...
