And not holding pressure. You can see the pressure dropping off until the secondary feed comes into play at a certain duty cycle. The noise it's making is strange. Not there all the time.

Anyone else had issues with 044's? I haven't heard of any???!!?

I blamed my 044 at the nats and said it was at fault, turns out it wasnt and the sound change was the super hot fuel from the shit injectors! My surge and pumps were red hot!

The same pump lives strong today, mine constantly switch on/off as its staged off boost but so far no problem at all! I think 044 failures are not a common thing!

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Thing is, the noise happens from dead cold after not using the car for weeks.

Oh :/ That is not something i have heard then... I had all sorts of fuel issues, but certainly not what you describe...

I changed the secondary pump to the primary, noise gone and rail pressure was higher. Still holds pressure on song.

Either way, two new 044's are gonna be put in. Fuel is not something I wanna f**k around with.

Sounds like a good plan! Maybe ditch the old one and sell the good one as a lot of guys run the single in tank to get the GTST's to 350ish kw etc....

On a build like yours, overkill is never enough! My fuel system is WAY bigger than ill ever need but being its so important i went nuts with it! Shuddup and Take My Money was the approach i took :P

Yep, best way too look at it ;) Should be a fairly painless job? Where are yours mounted?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
