hi, I just ordered a walbro pump for my r33gts. IT seems to have leads instead of the standard pumps screw terminals.

How do I install it? If I solder the new wires on will standard heatshrink be ok in the tank(and will not melt in petrol, and short)?

Or can I screw the two o-terminals together, and somehow insulate them?

Anyone remember how they did it?

cut, solder, heatshrink it and it will be fine. cable tie the wires seperatly if worried about that.

what i usually do when joining wires is stagger them. so dont cut and join both nect to each other make one join shorter or further down then the other join. i do this for all kinds of wiring jobs and it makes it neater and a little bit more reliable.

crimped bullet connectors work awesome if you do a decent job of it, just make sure they're insulated sufficiently. today i pulled out my walbro which i used cheap shitty connectors with a few years ago, havent caused any problems but since i was putting the bosch in i decided to tidy up the wiring, and came up with this setup, now theres no more cutting required when i change pump.

also i've put an extra ground it (just for fun) that goes directly to chassis through the pump cradle, theres a spade terminal connector up top there on the factory cradle so what else could that possibly be for?

make sure you run the wires in such a way that they wont foul the float switch as it comes up.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
