OK so any of you that know me know i have had issues with my car on boost, these were all boiled down to fuel delivery issues.

my car was cutting out round corners and running lean on the dyno over 5000rpm, anyway the culprite was my BOSCH 040 intank fuel pump, it was extreamly clogged, the mesh cover was caked and the filter was clogged, so i replaced it with a new one.

this one has been in my tank for about 2 months and it has fallen to the same fate, unfortunatly the Bosch pumps do not have a servicable filter and i assume the internals have been damaged anyway as the pump has become noisy again.

so im going to replace it AGAIN with something different, just for funzies. anyway obviosuly my tank still has shit in it.

i could get the tan kcleaned and try again but i am sick of going through pumps. i do not know if its just debris in the tank or if its rust from the old tank. SO

i have sourced a GTR plastic tank W straps, i still need a sender,

1st question......

with the larger GTR tank and new sender unit, what is involved in getting this to work with my stock guage?

i have also sourced some new gtr injectors (i already have these installed but they might be farked) new ones have been flow tested and cleaned....

what else appart from the fuel filter should i replacein the fuel system? any lines, any bottle neck which may have been affected by the crap going though my system?

Are u sure crap has gone through the system or just in the pumps filter and possibly fuel filter?

Mates 34 did the same thing. He ran the fuel in the tank through a fuel filter and into some jerry cans a few times to remove the debris from the tank. Hasnt played up since

well i have destroyed 2 fuel pumps, while i have half the system out i might aswell replace anything else i can, dont want to lean out pushing 1bar boost at 6000rpm again, bad sensation when it chokes

No offense but that

Seams like the worst answer. I'm happy to get a new pump and tank, do it properly, I'm even getting cleaned and flow tested injectors incase their not %100, why would I just keep going through pumps at $200 a pop and get rid of filters? I don't want old tank crap getting past the filters I want their to be no crap.

I have a R34 with the same issue as the OP - Except I've gone through pumps in as little as uh, one day.

I was able to take the pump out, clean the mesh with it (Bosch 040) and put it back in and suprise suprise, it actually worked...

...until today, where it is again groaning and carrying on.

The above solution from Jez sounds like it's something to try, at $200 a pop, I can't afford a new pump every couple of days, but I CAN afford to buy like five fuel filters and some jerry cans and pump the tank through them and rinse/repeat instead of obliterating the mesh in the pump and killing pumps over and over.

Just cut the mesh out the bottom of the 040

Pump

And Just replace filter a lot more often.

While this sounds like the ultimate backyard fix, um.. would this actually work? Any thoughts? Its much, much, much easier to replace a filter in the R34 than the pump. (and especially the tank)

How often is often? 5k kms? Or is this option just madness?

Happy to do either or both, really, really tired of replacing fuel pumps.. twice a week.

Seriously. It is an utter bastard on the R34. So much so I'd almost rather spend $1200 on fuel pumps lol. I'll try the filter and jerry can thing and post here just incase some poor soul has this problem and searches the forums and finds this (like I did)

I removed the mesh on 040 worked well for me

No issues I did a filter on every service

5000kms

Just comes down to what your prepared to do

I cut mine off as I got sick of pulling pump to clean it.

Dare I ask what the best way of removing this is? I tend to replace the fuel filter when I replace the oil filter anyway (i.e every 5k kms), because it's .. right there, and costs like $10.

I've only cleaned the pump out, but never really attempted to cut the mesh.

Cant' you flush the tank while it's in the car ? Pull the lines out the bottom and bung up. fill the tank with a suitable solvent (I'm going to say ethanol) - but REMOVE the fuel pump first !!!!

    • 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.
    • 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
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
