On a side note it doesn't run very well anymore. It's stutters alot.

I'm doing the hard wire mod as I type this, hopefully it will sort it out.

Xrated - that's a bit harsh to say letting my wife do it was a mistake, she has smaller hands and she has learnt a helll of a lot over the years.

It's all good mate, just having a laugh.

The hard wire mod will feed a little more voltage to the pump for maximum flow potential. However you will loose the factory speed controll, thus you will be recirculating fuel constanlty... this heats the fuel up quicker.

Your stuttering wont be related to available fuel supply, unless your pump is seriously over or under pressurising the fuel system. Just put a fuel pressure gauge on and go for a burn.

It's more likely that the suction sock is blocked or not positioned correctly in the cradle, the electrical teminations on the pump are not correct or the nrv was replaced backwards etc... I would check all of these types of things before you go chopping apart your fuel pump loom.

By the sounds of things, I'd pay a pro to look at it... if it's leaning out and stuttering, your allready damaging your engine.

There can often be subtle things that will trip you up, this is where a professional will usually show they're worth- especially where important components are concerned.

Cheers

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
