The Pierburg is very long and thin, like two Walbro's end to end.

The A1000 is around 3.5 inches round and 6 inches long as I remember. It can be mounted intank apparently but it is single speed, there are similar pumps around with variable speed to stop the fuel heating so much. These require -8 fittings and hoses at least for their rated output apparently.

Best and cheapest option is twin Walbro's cost and price wise, may not be the most reliable though but thats what I went for.

i want to retain my factory fuel lines & factory fuel rail so the A1000 may not be suitable (ive been there & done that with my other gtr). also the idea of single speed from the A1000 may not be ideal for the street & it probably is a noisy pump as well 1 would assume...

i spoke to rick @ efi performance in qld as he is a pierburg retailer and he swears by them. he said i could remove my surge tank & replace my lift pump with the pierburg pump on its own (either run it in-tank for a factory appearance OR under the car with a simple bracket) & this will support 500awkw no problem. also is alcohol & ethanol friendly :)

he explained that the 044 is rated for 200lph @ 5bar & the pireburg is rated for 360lph @ 3bar, most pumps loss efficiency with higher pressure however the pierburg remains flat & says easily maintains over 300lph @ bar.

they use these in mercedes sports cars & the bugatti veyron actually runs 4 of these pumps (1 for each bank) in the tank as they are submersible.

i think this is perfect for my application!

another update - spoke to efi performance once again & he personally runs fuelab in his drag car & also quotes "they are the ducks guts in pumps!"

however, pumps run different applications & the fuelab is a 'push' (i.e. blow) pump hence it needs a surge tank so it wont suit me.

the pierburg is a 'draw & push' (i.e. suck & blow) pump which means it operates very well without a surge tank & can even run externally with just a pick up line with filter!

the fuelab also can run variable voltage but it needs to be controlled by the ecu, i have a vipec so i'm pretty it can support varying voltage (i.e. ruin 9volts @ idle). if its runs full voltage, the pump is incredibly noisy which is crap for the street.

fuelab also needs speedflow fittings ($$$) whereas the pierburg runs barb fittings where u can fit the fuel hose with hose clamps.

how can i resist a 'suck & blow' pump HA!

My rb26 track setup has an intank R32 GTR fuel pump running to a 2-litre surge tank, with an external Walbro DA-27 fuel pump.

When I bought the da-27 around a year ago it was advertised as 305Lph and aimed at the bosch 044 market.

Not after the same powermark, will be limited to around 300rwkw/400rwhp with 550cc siemens & steel-wheeled rebuilt turbos.

What are you going to do with the 3000000 044's you have?

i sold my old boot setup with 044's (u might remember this from my black gtr?) - i still another 2 x 044's though which i'll sell lol

Yeah I remember haha.

how much do you want for one?

The pumps are not for my car. I already have two. Its for a little thing I have made up so I dont have to hold up Jerry cans full of E85. Using a stock GTR pump at the moment but I want something with a bit more flow. pinch.gif

Nah it's not for in the car, I'll take a pic when it's finished, it's a pump in a bracket on some wood with wires to the battery and long rubber hoses out of each end to remove the need for a fuel jiggler-instead you put the Jerry on the floor next to the car, hook the wires onto the battery (alligator clips), put one hose in the Jerry can, the other in the fuel tank then switch the pump on and wait till the Jerry is empty. Means no spills and no need to hold the Jerry can up.

It's using a 34 vspec2 stock pump now but a faster pump would be nice. Thing is this pump was donated, and the whole setup has cost less than $40 combined ($20me $20paul)

Deano 1 - that is the plan, I've had big fuel setups in the past and now want a factory clean look...I'm treating my new gtr with the respect it deserves.

Was it u that met my brother not long ago?

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
