i had a fellow sau member put on a bosch (032 or 040 or somethig) internal fuell pump and the installlation went well....drove it for 30 mins around and it was running well....as i was going home and then i had a a quick lose of power and the engine would slowly die.Tried starting the car and it wont start at all...

i could hear the fuel pump switching on but it wont start..It would just be cranking on the ignition...

Called him up and he told me to check my fmic piping and afm (there could be a leakage not getting enuff air) and check the fuel pump wirings ( a wire would of came off). I checked em all but it still wont start...

can someone help me out as please....it seems it wanna start but something is stopping it....

cheers

Take the fuel hose off the end of the reg...

See if fuel is coming out.

Sounds like a botched install of the fuel pump - is it a genuine BOSCH? Plenty of fakes on the market - usually easy to pick as they are just too cheap.

yeah he does, and yeah if no fuel then maybe the stock wire just isnt big enough to power the 040, im guessing the 040 is similar to 044, when i got mine done u run another wire that follows the stock on thats a thicker core, otherwise it'l melt like it did on my mates vl after he got a respectable well known dyno'r in sa to put it on...

car feels like ders no fuel going thru the engine....fuel reg might be faulty..what do i do now??

Have you pulled the fuel line off that goes to the reg and turned the key to on? Does the fuel pump out?

If not the pump pickup may have fallen off.

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!

      They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
