Got my power fc tuned last night by Guiltoy,

Seems to run out of fuel at high rpm, he thinks its the fuel pump.

So question is, what fuel pump should i get for a mildly tuned 32 Gtr?

He recomended a Bosch 040, and i've seen Walbro 500hp in-tank pumps for $195 on sau.

Any experience or insight would be appreciated

Bosch pumps are far superior to walbro.

Guilt-tripper told you Bosch, you trust him with your tune...so trust his advice on fuel pumps too.

The Bosch item is about $40 more...people who skimp on products are always the ones who scream the loudest when it goes 'pop'.

Its your fuel system...its keeping your engine alive...stick your hand in your pocket and put in a decent pump.

BTW...my 1000hp GTR uses an 040 as a lift pump.

Get a Bosch 044 and get it installed properly. Then it will be an intake pump :P And will run more HP than 040

if its a 300kw car an 040 would be better as all the 044 will do is cycle more fuel through the rail, unnecessarily heating the fuel and robbing the engine of horsepower.

You doing it youself or getting some one else to install it? If yourself, get a Nismo/Tomei one, piece of piss to install and no 1/4 tank bullshit surging. Trust me, when you have to install the 040 you will be kicking yourself for not spending the extra coin on the nismo/tomei one. They are annoying to install, helped to do one in my mates 15, never again.

slice of urine in a R32 GTR...15mins tops. If put in right (in the bucket with the proper mount and clip) it wont surge as the bucket is filled by the reg. return line.

Yeah but is that because you have done 14,000 of them? I'm sure if i did one again now, it would take me half the time. However if this is his first attempt (like mine was), im pretty sure there will be some swearing involved.

However maybe you are right and R32 GTR's are easy, never done one of them personally.

Had same probs with gtr making 340kw running a little close to the edge fuel, Installed a Bosch 023 intank (using the DIY thread on SAU) and added an adjustable regulator bumping the pressure up a bit from 30 to 45 PSI and it has solved the problems.

Pump-$170 new

Reg-$165 new

Clamp-$5 new

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
