just purchased a walbro intank good for 500hp, pretty sure its plug and play, just need to hold it in with a cable tie apparently. jeez

Cheap Walbro GS3442 does it for me- just do the direct 12V rewire.

why hard wire it?

why hard wire it?

These bigger pumps pull a lot more amps, not sure what the stock fuse size is but a pump like the walbro 400/416 can pull over 20 amps which is way more than the stock wiring will cope with.

I wired a 416 up the other day (used 6mm to/from relay and 2.5mm in tank) then to test I used a bit of 0.5mm wire about 50mm long to bridge the relay, it fried the wire and went open circuit after 30 seconds.... I have done that same test with bosch 044's and 040's with no issues...

no wires being fried on mine, and no issues so far.

If the circuit is protected by the standard size 15A fuse then its unlikely you will burn anything apart from the fuse itself...

Be interesting to see what voltage the pump is seeing on your setup with stock wiring, i'd say you would be very close to the limit. Might be an idea to carry some spare fuses!

yeah maybe its not stock then, i watched it being wired and put in by the tuner

interesting though, my battery light is on constantly and tuner said voltage is bit high, sitting on 15volts so must need a new reg or alternator, you'd think it would of blew a fuse by now.. have to look into that..

the 400L/hr pump is much quieter than the 255L/hr that it replaced, kind of miss the noise....

Wow that's a pump, over 5l/min at 80psi - that's awesome!! Anyone tried one or got a cost?

Sorry just read the thread - have you tested the return flow to see if it matches the specs?

pump arrived today, hopefully fit it on the weekend, someone told me to put a 1 way valve in? but i don't really see the need. anyone else thinks it will help? i might need to pocket a roll of cable tomorrow at work, so wire from the rely in the fuse box down to the pump, do you route the wires the same as factory?

yeah i was thinking gtr pump, but i wanted something brand new and affordable.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
