Hi all,

I did a little intro thread a while ago now, and thought a build thread would be in order.

anyway, here we go.

the name is Joe, and i own a 94 R33 GTS T, bought my skyline approximentely 6 months ago now, during a period when i wasn't able to drive, the car came with the following, FMIC, 3" turbo back exhaust, and 17" rims.

since then i have done a few things, they are as follows:

full stereo

mongoose alarm system

K&N Apollo CAI

GFB boost tee

boost gauge

car is running 9 PSI at present.

now as the title states, this build thread will take a very long time, as the "boss" doesn't share my passion for cars and upgrades, but i am hoping to change that soonish, as i don't like having my car stock

please keep an eye on thread, and please be patient

ok well i haven't updated anything, because well lets face it, i haven't a. had the time and b. haven't had the funds to do anything, that aside, i have been looking at replacing the fuel pump, now i have done a little research and found a topic that outlines how to do the job, but it is for the bosch 040 fuel pump, now with that in mind i went and investigated the cost for one of these and nearly fell off my chair, but i know that the fuel pump is something that needs to be upgraded before more serious power can be made, so a lot of searching for pumps have lead me to 2 different brands and i am wanting to find out some peoples thoughts, differences, which one would be better that sort of thing, the two brands i have got in mind is well a. the bosch 040 (or i might go straight to the 044) and b. the walbro brand, in the ways of cost i am leaning to the walbro as i can get the 600+ HP one for around $200, but as i know so little about fuel pumps, i was wondering if i could get some help.

you dont need help you need time to read up on the fuel pumps on here...

heaps of threads discussing this and those threads will have more info than your thread hear will gather...

bosch 040 is what I run, cause from what I read on here the genuine ones are reliable and I didnt have to rewire like for the walbro as it likes constant 12v or something...

and I can run the 040 in tank as opposed to the 044 is for mounting outside the tank, read the DIY for 040 install easy as...

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
