Needs hands on help! - Installing SAFC & Bosch Pump?


Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there was any guru's out there that could help install my new Bosch Pump and SAFC.

I have no idea about electronics and am a tad scared to fiddle with the fuel system?

Would be more than happy to travel anywhere in Brissie or Gold Coast for some help?

NO WAY He'd kick my arse all the way from here to kingdom come! Well maybe not kick....... damn I hope I can run fast because once he catches up to me I really am going to get a whuppin!

I would definately offer to help u out mate, but im just so full on between uni and getting the car ready, pm and ill send u come helpful advice on the S-afc so u can have a crack at it, as long as u can solder its not that hard at all.

I can give you a hand also with the fuel pump as I did mine. I don't have a garage which makes it slightly more difficult, however if anybody does, and also wants to do a fuel pump change we can have a 2-for-1 day :)

Man ive got so many eletrical issues that i need fixing .. but i dont knwo anyone that can help me up here.. so .. i have to wait till august to drive it back home for my mate to look at :)

So its like 5 months of driving with no break light, 1 headlight and a half working apexi :)

G'day Shane...

I'll deal with your post in just a few moments... Firstly I have some island jumping ladies to deal with... :)

Yes i agree! he has helped me so much. Thanks mate

I offer to pay him or give him beer but he just likes to be gay and not accept anything :)

Pfft all lies... You were the one who showed up with 24 Red Roses when you wanted your SAFC installed... And all I wanted was a measly 6 pack... :)

lol

ill be buying him something.. regardless of what he says

cos it would be costing me atleast $100 otherwise

Knore... I think I'll call you... son of rajab of the Gutters... :)

But like I've said before, PM me when your ready to go ahead with the install... Just bring me something wet to drink!

Likes it eh, hmmmm that is the last time I ride in his car, and I thought he was just rubbing my knee for good luck, :) jk AH h AHhahah HA hAhHA h ah HAha!
And you thought the cold sweat was from the sideways action didn't ya? When all along you were just getting all squishy in your pants... :devfu:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand back on topic....

Shane,

I'm more than happy to help out with your SAFC install... I've installed quite a few Apexi electronic devices in R33's now and I'm 100% confident I can install yours... I'll warn you now though that I'm not the quickest becuase I tend to take my time and make sure it's done properly...

Having said that, it's not that hard to do yourself with the help of these forums and the right tools and equipment but once again, I am more than happy to help... I *may* even be able to help with some mild tuning if you have a recent dyno graph with AFR's plotted and depending on the level of modification your car is at...

I've had my fuel tank open and I can confirm it is a bitch of a job to get in there... Once your in though it's all pretty simple albeit a little cramped... I haven't done a fuel pump upgrade in a R33 but I've had plenty to do with fuel pump upgrades in other cars including an RB25DET S13... Perhaps with a little help from Predator, my garage, and your car and money (:)), we'll be able to sort it out for you...

I'm pretty sure MJ (Island Girl) is thinking about getting a fuel pump soon and it's on my list of mods too but I'm not sure what the time frame will be for either of us...

There is quite a few people on here who have done the Bosch fuel pump upgrade so we should be OK in terms of finding useful info before we start...

What fuel pump are you planning on installing??

i am hoping to buy a fuel pump this week. I am thinking about installing it but im not sure on how hard it will be to do....

There is a thread somewhere on SAU detailing the procedure required for upgrading the intank pump for a R33... I'm not sure how much different the R32's are?

I saw your post re the Walbro pumps and all I've heard is that they are not capable when used at higher system pressures... IE: Forced induction with adjustable fuel pressure regulator or even the stock rising rate regulator...

Go the tried and proven Bosch setup IMO...

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
