Hey fella's...

Got a question for ya's where I need a bit of help or real advise on somethin please....

Got a Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump where it was running good for the first 200-300 k's and then recently while driving it's started making a louder noise as if it's still actually priming while driving. One thing I've noticed is that once it starts making this noise when i'm driving the car, it doesn't feel like it's getting enough fuel cause it feels like it's running on 5 cylinders, etc. The engine is getting enough fuel and that to keep running but if I try to accelerate more it just stutters along and then gives up at some stage and doesn't want to move.

It'll start fine when it's cold though and it'll run for a good 30-40k's and that and then once (my opinion here) it's hot (like after driving the car around for a period of time), it just doesn't want to work properly anymore.

Keen to know if anyone else has had this problem or know of this problem with these fuel pumps?

Last night I was ready to actually rip the pump out, throw it on the ground and take a sledge hammer to it. LOL

Look forward to hearin from anyone that can advise or help out with this guys :P

Can anyone else maybe recommend a replacement for this pump as well maybe?

A couple of hours ago, went and started it since leaving it in the garage from last night.

Started and primed perfectly fine and then once oil temp reached around the 60 mark, it started making the loud noise again.

Hadn't rev'd it or even driven it, had been sittin there for a good 10-15mins warming up.

check voltage at the pump. check for leaks and blockages in the lines and make sure the fuels not getting too hot

Hi

All braided lines and have been tested for blockage and nothing.

How much power ou making? What injectors?

only around about 260hp for now.

can't remember the injectors sorry, around 1000cc though.

Did you just pick a random sub forum to post this in or did you think the question was appropriate to be posted in the rb30 conversion section?

no, it's cause i've actually got a rb30 bottom end buddy :)

1000cc with 260hp? .. wha ..

I had something simalar to this and it was hard to find. Ended up being the pickup was collapsing on itself. When you took it out and looked at it, it looked fine, no blockage. But under load it collapsed and created a blockage.. Just a thought you could check.

As soon as I found it and replaced it, the pump was perfectly quiet.

Interesting... I highly suspect that there's nothing wrong with the pump to the extent to say "its broken, get a new one"... cause it primes ok and starts and feeds fuel to the engine still, etc so i'd say it could be something as small as this maybe.

lol. always something simple.. what sort of ampage does the a1000 pull? ive seen a bosch 044 burn out a 30 amp relay.. (more to do with the poor contact with some aftermarket relay holders melting

not to sure mate.

the pump ended up being f**ked after only running on one relay.

some people who think they have a idea on how to do this shit really have no idea.

now i'm up for a new pump!!!

From what I have seen with A1000 pumps is that they really are a race use only pump, aimed at drag racing where they are only switched on for a few seconds.

From memory they are a reconfigured carburettor pump so origionally designed to run at 7-10PSI, just happens that they are big enough to push 100psi when attached to a EFI reg.

Doesnt help solve the issue I know, but just a heads up for the future.

Same goes for most Yank Pumps (SX, Magna Fuel etc)

A1000 isn't much of a pump... they fail regularly in the US circles (im in the us for the last 5 years).

Look at weldon for a good solid reliable pump.

Any pump combo you get you will need some style controll. staged, pwm etc...

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
