Hi guys,

Couple of interesting alternatives are available atm to the usual Walbro GSS-341/Bosch 040 options:

AEROMOTIVE 340LPH 340 LPH 90PSI HIGH FLOW FUEL PUMP

These are pretty new I think, looks physically almost identical to the Walbro, claimed 340LPH flow, available on (ebay) here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/...n#ht_4609wt_933

some Supra-related info:

http://www.supraforu...w-charts-review

...and...

Deatschwerks DW300+

These look promising and cheap at $169 US thereabouts (considering the exchange rate)... claimed 300+ LPH.

http://www.deatschwe...-tank-fuel-pump

Look like the Walbro pump again, no Skyline-specific model fitments listed but here are the physical dimensions:

Anyone used either of these? Anybody have any recommendations? I don't know where fuel pumps are really at these days... everybody still use the Walbros, or...?

cheers

One thing about both of these models is that they claim significantly higher flow rates than the walbro (300-340 as to 255) which I believe has poorer flow rate performance unless it's hard-wired anyway (though to be fair probably all pumps do?). Just something to consider...

the main thing to remember is that the c34's don't have a cradle like the skylines but instead have a box that clips to the bottom of the fuel tank

so going any bigger than stock will be a big pain to fit nicely without hacking up the box

I was looking to run one of these but they were twice the price and they also draw twice the current. I came to the conclusion they are great if you cant fit twin Walbro's in, as the twins will flow more at a similar current. Of course not too many people will need a 1000hp ethanol system anyway.

Tom, that plastic box looks very similar to what the m35 has. It may not allow enough fuel to enter the container if you run the larger aeromotive pump as I have found with the twins. Its only a problem at under 1/4 tank.

So lets throw an ace in the pack hear

2x walbros = what..? 510lph?

To burn even 1 full capacity of a walbro you wd need serioisly big inj, running huge duty cycles.... With a tune and car to suit....

Why in gods cock would u need anything more than the quiet, easy to install, cheap, more than enough flowing walbro...:)

because they only flow 255lph at some shitty low fuel pressure

ah just found the chart, they also only flow 255lph with no fuel lines attached, Ill assume the Stag lines are 5/16" same as the Skylines...so try and blow 255lph through a long maccas straw.

please show me how it would be benefitial to have 2x walbros...

stock 25 inj run at 370cc... so all 6 at 100% duty (never come close to that safe) is 2220cc/per min...

1x walbro flows with no lines at 4250cc per min...

even half the flow rate for lines witch would never ever happen... and you could still run your injectors at ~99.6% duty... if someone was stupid enough to run this higher %. they deserve to be kicked in the head lol....

scott upgraded the fuel lines to braided SS , pressure reg, and 1000cc injectors.

hence: beneficial to have teo walbro pumps.. the way its set up is, one pump runs one fuel rail(theres two as v6) so makes if efficient!

1000cc is just the spec of inj....

what sort of duty is he running... all these mods mean nothing more than the amount of fuel the car ACTUALY chews per min...

im not saying what hes done is wrong or right... just wondering why he has done what he has more than anything.

and wouldnt the braided lines flow much better than stock...?

having 6000cc worth of inj

and 8500 worth of fuel suply,

at 100% duty. he has 30% or so too much fuel b4 the lines... leaving him well ahead.

what sort of % would he run?

he maxed out the fuel lines on the last run. with the gtx going in he wanted to be safe so he knows that atleast his fuel system will be able to cope.

i think i recall him saying that he had already made the twin pump setup before he found the problem to be the lines, so he used i9n anyway.

but can definitely see your point.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
