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?

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 :)

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... :)

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...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
