Hi Guys

I'm looking at the Deatschwerks DW300 pump for my 275rwkw RB25 anyone got any experience, comments or other options to consider?

I currently have a Walbro that is only a couple of years old (low kms) and failing me badly (reaching it's limits @450HP?) :down:

NISMO pumps flow 276lph @ 43psi and I haven't seen a pump yet that doesn't drop off at higher pressures so I'm not convinced they will be any better then the DW300 (they are also 3 times the price!)

The Bosch 040 is weak as piss... the other option is to put a 044 in-tank but the Deatschwerks looks like an easier fit and will meet my power requirements without going OTT

Would love to hear your learned comments and feedback :thanks:

I put the Deatschwerks in mine. It is much quieter than the Bosch 044 & with the fuel relay upgrade in the DIY forum, that solved all my fueling issues. Also put in a Nismo adjustable fuel reg as advise from my tuner. Car is making 328rwkw on 20psi.

How does the Deatschwerks compare in size with the 044? My Bosch works fine but the surge tank is in the back of my Stagea and even with a well insulated steel box over it its still quite noisy. Wonder if the Deatschwerks would fit in the same space (o/a length is the most important).

DW301 is the exact same dimensions as the Walbro but it is an in-tank pump unlike the 044

Yes people are doing that... you should also install a one-way valve apparently and a it's bit of mucking around to fit the pump & sock

The 044 pump is designed to lie flat (that's why you need the one-way valve for an in-tank install) and I have heard of people (on forums) having reliability issues with the pump when it is installed in an upright position.

Call me old fashioned but when it comes to the fuel system I'd rather not take chances using devices for purposes they weren't designed for... again...

OK I f^cked up with the Walbro :D

The 044 would work well in-line with the Walbro feeding it but I am off the Walbro big time after this experience and relying on 2 pumps when you can get away with one seems stupid unless your utilising a surge tank

The 044 can be run in tank if you put the sock over the end.

I would be looking elsewhere if your running out of fuel at 275rwkw. Walbros can flow a lot more than is needed for that kind of power :whistling:

For example at 13.5V and 70psi they flow around 220L/hr which is enough to feed your 550cc injectors plus a little bit more :)

Agreed it should be OK according to those figures and there seems to be plenty of people running higher power levels than me with these pumps

However I'm not the only one that has had problems with the walbro at these power levels

Have a look at my other thread here to see the symptoms I'm having and other peoples comments

It certainly looks like it could be the pump at this stage... I was very careful but maybe I got a dodgy one? (if it is fake it is a bloody good fake!)

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
