Hey all

Due to age i think i shall replace mine

who is running what, what was needed to fit it etc

Series one RS four owner here...

Should i get a Walbro, or a Bosche 044 or 040?

-Ryan

I'm running a Walbro GSS-342, it's a 255LPH/500hp pump and Boostworx fitted it no worries in my series 2. Had it fitted and tuned the same day. The pump cost me $195 delivered from Slide on these forums see here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Wa...albro+fuel+pump. Can't remember cost of fitting but should be around $100 maybe less.

I would recommend getting a workshop to fit it, however the walbro comes with good instructions and all the bits you need (new wiring harness, clamps, fuel line, sock/filter etc. etc.)

I chucked a walbro in mine too. cheap, easy and enough flow for 300kw.

Josh, no noise from the pump it sounds exactly the same as standard.

Only thing to be careful of it you do it yourself - the fuel sender is very sensitive/prone to breaking. Be very careful when you remove and install it, and make sure the float is properly seated against the sender.

how long have you been running the walbro one DaveB? and is it a noisey pump, can you here it running in the cabin?

Been running mine since Christmas 2008. Pump is at least as quiet as stock, can't hear it in the cabin. As the others have said. btw whoever said they can get one for $240 with 'fitting kit'... last time I checked the SAU group buys the GSS-342 from Slide on SAU comes with everything you need to fit it to a stagea for $195 delivered. This is where I got mine.

Btw I'm currently making about ~185rwkw (auto, so over 200rwkw in a manual) on about 14PSI with gcg hi-flow neo turbo and tomei FPR.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
