Hey,

Just wondering how far a standard r33 rb25 (ser2) fuel pump will go?

Currently running the following setup: 3" exhaust, FMIC, std turbo, std injectors, remapped ecu and 12 psi.

Will it handle this ok?

cheers

Probably yes, but due to the age of the car and the pump i would be looking to invest in an upgrade at some stage just for safety anyway.... They are cheap and easy to do so no reason not too :)

hmmmm good point.

Whats the better setup in a r33?

Bosch 040 and remove the sock, mount pump as low as possible

or

Bosch 044 and adapt the standard sock to fit?

i did a 040 years ago and remember not being certain that I had it mounted as low as it could possibly be and from memory i recall seeing a 044 mounted in tank with factory sock....

How much power are you aiming for mate? Drop in Walbro will be much easier for lower power levels....

My 044 is mounted with rubber on the bracket and has a sock, better than the 040 option but depends on how much you actually need?

ive had 2 walbro's now, the 255Lph handled 260kw so that would be fine.. quite cheap too. I didnt want to take chances with the fitment, tuner fit mine in well under an hour so worth it to get done right first time.

Walbro have a good rep, with the Bosch pumps Ic heard good and bad things. Seems they can go either way depending on batch etc. I recently bought a Nismo and couldn't be happier. I'm letting a GTR pump go. PM if interested, I want it gone!

Not saying they're all terrible, but as I said I've heard a few can be dodgey and have ha to be replaced. Read it in a couple of threads here on SAU, but as I've said I'm not commenting on personal experience just what I've read on here.

I've had a Walbro in my tank for about 4 years. I have a 044 as well - haven't heard anything bad about them except they're noisy as!!

Mine is quieter than the 34GTR pump I had.... All about how you mount it etc

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
