Hello

I have a R32 GTS-T with these mods; twin front pipe, catback exhaust, fmic, pod and soon will put on a RB25 turbo. Looking at computers now. But until I buy a ecu and tune the car, with these mods when is the time to upgrade to a bigger fuel pump and injectors?

My guess is the second hand pump is exactly that 2nd hand.

For the price of a new pump these days $160-$200 direct replacement why going 2nd hand?

Also its the life source of the car without fuel you will lean out and do more damage then $200 for a pump

Why not, I got a s/h tomei and its brilliant

Thats different in a way. Its more than likely not that old.

But still i would definately prefer not to use 2nd hand fuel pumps.

I knew op was going to say a 2nd hand GTR pump.

With most things that run in fuel, once they are removed they dry up, seals swell etc etc.

since you guys are talking fuel pumps, whats the limit of power for walbro 255L/h and 555nismo's on pump98?:whistling:

Pretty sure thay nicked named them Walbro 500, as in 500HP.

Basically they are generally good to 300+ wkw in most applications. Ive seen so many cars putting that power figure out, and more with only a single in tank pump.

Cant comment on Nismos one.

I brought a genuine walbro for 130 they come around cheap sometimes keep an eye out. Dont buy second hand, its not worth it when your chasing power increases.

Heres a mean set-up my mates put in is R32.4, 1200HP SX pump to keep his 420wkw gtr fed :D

Nismo will do 400rwkw

Walbro - anyone's guess. They are very hit and miss. Mine nosed over @ 270rwkw, others have run into issues at less, some have made more. Gamble you take really. Walbro's from their own information - don't like higher pressures like a Bosch/Nismo etc perform ok.

In engineering is a term called B.S.F.C

(Brake Specific Fuel Consumption)

You could use this caculator to give you an idea about fuel requirements for injectors and pump.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
