I'm sure when I call Jim he'll have the answers, he hasn't failed me yet. Just single tank, we haven't talked power I've just left him alone what he gets is what he gets. Been itching to do -5s and custom cams from the start to satisfy my curiosity so we'll see how it goes.

Recently had an issue with a genuine walbro in a GTR failing at 300kw.

Direct wired the pump to a quality relay and suddenly had ample fuel (700cc injectors).

Give that a shot if your wirring is factory.

I still think replacing the nismo for the 044 is a waste of time and money. direct wire the nismo with a relay and then test the flow (as explained earlier in the thread). no point just upgrading on a hunch and it's very debatable whether the 044 actually is an upgrade over the nismo anyway. In my experience a single nismo pump supports more power than single 044s do.

+1 Beer Baron, from my little experience I have heard exactly the same. I know Trent from Status Tuning rates the Nismo intank fuel pump very highly. He said he has seen over 400rwkw numerous times on his dyno.

Jim says the torque is the thing that's sucking fuel and the current pump isn't up to it for an RB30 with my config. He can get it to 300awkw but that's it. He's got a test kit with a 044, hooked it up and reckons the difference is significant.

He's sending me a dyno graph with the current set up so I'll post it up when it arrives.

There is zero chance a working Nismo pump will be maxed with those turbos, let alone @ 300.

There have been 2.8lt strokers making 420-440rwkw with a single Nismo pump on 800cc injectors. So not just 2.6lt here. I realise a 30 is another 200cc more, but it's not a magical fuel eating beast. Extra - yes, but it's >10% capacity that isn't going to use 50% more fuel, thats just ridiculous.

And going off what you are saying RE: 1600/70% - if that's the case then Scoob's 600cc injectors will be maxed @ 300.

The only way to explain that is two ways

1. The pump was dying (rare & super ez to check)

Or

2. Wiring wasn't correct, and as part of 044 install, that was fixed.

There u go :)

When I built my rb30 and made 405awkw, ppl couldn't understand how I was hitting 70% injector duty cycle with bosch 1600cc injectors...its the torque that chews fuel!

Or a tune with a bucket of fuel in it.

I knew there was some results of flow testing... Finally found it. Bit long winded but I think it's some pretty good info. (Gotta love a 12hr night shift for research purposes)

http://www.stealth316.com/2-fuelpumpguide.htm

Factory GTR pump flow: 230L/hr @ 72psi (13.5V)

So lets assume a Nismo pump is the same as stock GTR pump (its 25% more apparently, I have reason to think its the same, thats for another discussion)

Bosch Flow Rate PDF (63kb).

Bosch 044: 200L/hr @ 72psi (12V)

So clearly the Bosch if wired up @ 13.5V will flow more, and that overall the Bosch would be the better pump - I'm sure we can all agree on that.

However we are not talking about max flow rate :merli:

What are we talking about? Flowing enough fuel to supply 600cc injectors.

Now this has nothing to do with torque, just maxing the injector on a flow based level. So power output is irrelevant, size of motor etc.

To achieve this you need 3.6L/min as Rob82 said before.

Flow required: 216L/hr @ approx 60psi. (40psi base + 20psi boost to be generous)

So clearly both Nismo & Bosch flow rates are more than adequate for 600cc injectors that are @ 100% duty.

Even if you bumped the base pressure to 50psi + 20psi you still have enough room.

If the Nismo pump is not flowing enough, it is as i said earlier one of two things

1. Nismo is dying.

2. Nismo is not wired correctly.

Both are possible, both are very easy to check. Hope it adds a bit to the discussion.

I'd be asking for that Nismo pump and flow testing it if I were you Scooby :thumbsup:

The thing I don't understand...is it is dead easy to check the fuel pump is supplying enough fuel (fuel pressure guage, can even be inline to the fuel line on the dyno). If fuel pressure suddenly starts to drop especially at max torque, you are having a fuel pump flow issue.

  • 2 weeks later...

agreed. for the sake of $200 I permanently have a fuel pressure gauge in car. it's referenced to boost too (so stays steady at base pressure unless something is wrong) so it's very easy to spot lack of supply to the rail. cheapie mechanical ones can be had for about $60. and any workshop would have one.

There u go :)

That's the dumbestest thing I've heard. Torque has nothing to do with fuel usage. The more power you make at the lower the rpm the more torque. You also have more allowable time to inject the fuel if your making high hp at low rpm (torque).

I've regularly make 360rwkw on an xr6t with 440cc injectors on pump fuel and they make more torque than most rb30's at this power level!

I don't take offence to your comment, however, I 'DO' listen to ppl in the know who have been building and tinkering with gtr's when u were probably riding a push bike...I am talking about the likes of CRD, RIPS racing and Red R Racing.

Why don't u pick up the phone and have a chat with these guys, rather than unleash as I am only the messenger :)

You've obviously misunderstood them because what you have stated makes no sense.

Generally the higher the bore/stroke ratio the higher the bsfc - hence the better the conversion of fuel to hp.

So if you are making more torque and roughly the same power what is happening? (i.e. assume RB26 vs RB30)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
