I have a 97 gtst s2 it's pretty stock I have been over a period of time replacing parts i.e. gaskets, radiator, heater core, coupling etc... my question is I am wanting to replace my fuel pump now with something like a Bosch 040 fuel pump. Will I need to replace my injectors or will they support this pump? Also do people recommend this pump or is there something else I should look at before I do this.

well what sort of mods are you looking at?

you would at least need it to be dyno tuned to get it running properly

To tell you the truth I haven't really thought about it much all I'm doing at the moment is pretty much replacing parts. I spoke to a guy in Marrickville and mentioned about getting some work done, he said that the best bet is to put a new fuel pump in dyno it then think about doing other things.

A couple of people I have spoken to say to put in a FMIC but I don't really see the point of putting one in whilst having stock turbo so until I am ready to do a upgrade I'd prefer to wait.

As for mods like I said I don't really have any, I've just mainly been replacing parts:

parts that I have replaced so far:

suspension (front/rear)

viscous coupling

radiator

timing belt

engine belts

gaskets

heater core

thermostat

(kept all up-to-date servicing)

mods:

turbo timer

exhaust

aftermarket radiator

Eventually I will want to do a turbo upgrade (no idea what one/type) until then I am just wanting to get it performing nicely (I know I am and maybe already have replaced parts I did not need to, but call me paranoid but I just like knowing that such and such is a new part and is working correctly).

well seriously

the thing is....if your replacing a top of the line fuel pump for eg..and not getting the mods.....then its kinda pointless...

but i think you should replace a simillar kind of pump whilst getting a dyno tune.

but

there some workshops may want the work u know...

i think the second mob you mentioned, says its pointless getting a high end pump...

if you really need to replace it....then id say replace the pump with a tune up.

mods can always come later on

I'm not saying I'm not getting mods I just ment that until I go through and get the engine and the rest of my car up to a good running condition I'm not going to do anything extra.

So as a starting point I figure once I have got this done why not start by getting a fuel pump in a dyno the car, and if that the correct starting point will the fuel pump mentioned be supported by stock injectors or will they need replacing at the same time?

If replacing the fuel pump and putting the car on the dyno isn't the correct starting point, then what is? What I ment about not getting a FMIC is because the car has a stock turbo I may as well until I do a turbo upgrade keep the stock intercooler and then do the whole upgrade i.e. turbo, intercooler etc...

So am I right in thinking this is a good starting point or not?

Thanks,

yes, replace the Fuel pump

get it tuned at the workshop by dyno...first

the ecu may need tuning as well

So is anyone able to answer my actual initial question?

As long as the FPR can flow the extra fuel back to the tank it will be fine. Measure pressure at fuel rail before and after, should be around 43psi.

If it can keep pressure at 43 psi at idle you will be OK.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
