Yeppers, some oem pumps are well capable of doing the job. Many z32's making 500+hp on stock pumps, however they are getting old, so a new OEM pump is always recommended :)

That's pretty impressive Dean. Are u running a relay on the factory wiring?

Have u tested the pump to see how much more it has got and what it could potentially support in terms of kw?

It was a full factory setup, factory wiring, like it had never been opened.

I've got twin nismos now so I can't compare....

Why did u upgrade your pump? Making more power or for safety factor?

I think I've hit a wall as I cannot source submersible fuel hose with an ID to accommodate the fuel pump inlet which is 15mm. I tried pirtek, gates, speed flow, earls and purple pig.

Gates stock submersible hose in 2 sizes and these only run up to 9.5mm.

Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to mate my fuel sock to the fuel pump? Fuel pump is a push hose fitting and the fuel sock has a female push fitting with an ID of 24mm. The generic fuel hose does infact work in terms of size for ID and OD, however, the outer skin will disintegrate as it sits in the fuel tank.

If I have no other option, I may run speedflow -10 push hose as EFI Performance suggested this and apparently does not break down in fuel (even though speedflow stated to me that it is not rated for fuel submersion.

When I bought my car the previous owner said it had a bosch 044

Had it tuned running 340rwkw no fuel supple issues what so-ever, even went drags 3 times etc

Upgraded last month to a walbro e85 pump only to find it had a stock pump in the tank lol

Its amazing what flow these OEM pumps can support. I might test mine in a bucket and see how many litres it flows over 1 minute...what is the best way to test this though, direct to the battery?

Marko, just cut off some hose off a fire truck. She'll be right mate ;)

how about some seasoned bong hose? Loool

I want to do back2back flow testing with the OEM pump and pierburg. I reconnected the OEM pump but the trigger switches it off after 5 sec.. can I connect the pump to the battery direct as I want to measure flow into a bucket over a period of 1 minute so that I can calculate LPH.

Update time.

I decided to flow test my OEM pump direct from the battery and was very surprised by the results.

Over a period of 30seconds, it flowed 2.7ltrs which equates to 324LPH.

The pump even ran low and started blowing bubbles as I couldn't fill up the 2 ltr bottle it was sitting in quick enough.

Am I getting a higher voltage / power supply from the battery, rather than the fuel pump harness located in the boot? How can the pump flow at such a rate?

Off the return, that way the fpr will hold it at the correct pressure/restriction. It should be a reasonable indication of the flow as long as there are no other restrictions. Eg. Blocked fuel filter crimped line ect.

just wondering

are stock 34GTT pumps enough to use as lift pumps for a surge tanks with two 044s. This is for 350kw+ on e85

or would using the Deatschwerks 300lph as a lift and two 044s be overkill/enough?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
