Ok i have a r32 with a rb20det a bosch 0 580 fuel pump (i think is a 700hp pump) with a turbosmart fpr (fpr-800)

the car broke down while i was driving tried to start it but wouldnt start as the fuel pump was not working. checked fuse and relay in the boot and was algood so thought it was the pump as i have been running my gas pretty low lately and sometimes my fuel pump would make a different noise which only came on when my gas was really low so thought i had stuffed up the pump. Had a spare walbro 500hp fuel pump which is wayyyy smaller then the bosch fuel pump and installed it. Tried to start after installation and still no fuel pump noise so i checked the other relay where the cap is and found that it was not grounded properly so the fuel pump wasnt stuffed after all..(i know should hav checked it in the first place) pmo. anyway after grounding the relay again fuel pump was working again and car started. I let it idle (to warm up) and after about a minute it just turned off by itself and wont start anymore.

just wondering if anyone who has more knowledge out there could help me out. before i chuck back the bosch fuel pump back in and see if that works?

Check for power and earth at the fuel pump when priming the key or cranking.

Check for fuel flow at the engine by carefully removing the fuel line and placing it into a bottle to check for flow and prime

fuel pump still primes when key is turned on so guess the power and earth is allgood? i tried removing the fuel line but it just doesnt wanna come off so i squeezed it abit when priming and the line expanded which means theres flow

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
