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!)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
