The Bosch 040 I originally had put in my S15 annoyed the living crap out of me with its incessant buzzing - and it WAS mounted in-tank, on the factory mounting points. I was most pleased when it shat itself and I put the near silent Walbro in.

the stag has had an 040 for 4 yrs now, no issues.

the rb26 sedan has an intank gtr pump and fitting an external walbro 305lph unit - $160 good price

040's are around 190 but you can get copies for around 100

why would you bother? buy a shitty copy, its dies the first time you give your car a belting, you destroy a piston, and then youre paying for a replacement engine, all because you were too tight to spend an extra 90 squid.

shit balls. thats crazy.

are you feeling the blue or the beige? im leaning towards the blue at the moment.

Red you go faster in red :down:

would look even better with some 25mm spacers ;D

only concern I'd have with the wallbro pump is whether or not it flows more than the stock gtr pump - i know this isnt much of an issue till u go over 300kw but I'm leaning towards the nismo (125% flow rate) rather than a bosch

what splits are u getting steve? type R's ?

-D

the ones i won from the simulation event Earthquake's, car is un-ammped should still be ok its a clarion head unit

yeah 044 is external, the nismo ones i've seen for >600 so they're out. 33 GTR pump will drop straight in but i'm expecting Nissan to give some sort of shit pricing.

What trouble did you have with the 040 Abe? Hardest part of the install looks like positioning it close enough to the bottom of the tank.

Main problem was Me :down:...The fuel hose i had bought was the wrong type - designed to have fuel through it, not around it. So connected it all up, got it to fit...with no hose clamp holding it to the cradle. It lasted maybe 5 days, went to start it one day after work, was hard to start. I thought, right ill go fill up, go fill up, get round the corner...and the car dies, luckily i was just round the corner from work. Coasted back to work, rang my boss, he came and lent a hand, he then towed me 300m to the Maccas carpark, where it stayed for 2-4 Days. Bought some new fuel hose, mounted pump to cradle with a hose clamp...and been fine every since, other then the damn whining of it sometimes, sometimes you can hardly hear it.

Damm ppl from all over the world.

Was just bidding on a V-cam setup. Got abit too excited, so had to pull out. :D

Is that what you do :huh:

Just get a huge external setup with swirl pot.

it's what all the cool kids are doing. Loud as f**k, too.

I was in my mates KE70 the other month, and my mate in the back seat went to light up a smoke, my mate driving was like "Dude, hear that sound? That's my external fuel pump... I wouldn't be smoking in the back seat".

Love KE70's.

Fuel systems are over rated :down:

I'm only going fuel cell into 2 external low pressure bosch pumps into a pederson swirl pot then into 2 Bosch 044, then sard fpr and finally 1200cc injectors.

:huh:

i havnt had any issues with my bosch 040 for about 2-3 years now......its a bit noisy at the prime up time but after that its not as loud as people make it out to be.....and if the bosch 040 goes then i will definitely be going a nismo

Nice colossal traffic jam on the PRE this morning! Thank you to the genius who thought that would be a good idea in peak hour morning traffic :down:

.. thought 'what' would be a good idea in peak hour morning traffic?

(*wonders if I'm the only one wondering what a 'PRE' is too...*)

WOW, theifs are getting gutsy nowadays,

just had a stereo stolen from one of the work cars, whilst is was parked out the front. they removed the surround, disconnected the stereo wire by wire, and then replaced the surround including the bolts.

as if i wouldn't notice the stereo was missing...

oh well, jokes on them, the CD player doesn't work :down:

feck me. nearly fell over when i was told the price of a genuine nissan intercooler hose $432!

anyone know of anyone/ wreckers with 33GTR parts? was hoping to fix the R before the weekend

try ministry of bass man... they have tonnes of hoses

-D

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
