Hello All,

I'm building an RB26/30 with 1000cc injectors. Till what whp will I be ok with a single in tank 340LPH Aeromotive Fuel Pump?

My tuner recommends I get two Bosch 044's instead however, these don't come with an in tank option, which would mean I'd have to look into a surge tank, which I don't currently want to do.

Can I run an Aeromotive in tank 340 LPH in series with an external bosch 044 and get best of both worlds?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you got a chart showing how much your pump's flow drops off with increase in pressure? Quite a few people have experience with the limits of a single intank Nismo but it will be different for your pump. Have you got it directly wired with a heavier cable from the battery via relay? What is your power target? You can put 044s intank if you want. You could put a surge tank under the car if you don't want one in the boot but if you're not going to track it don't bother.

You can put 2 x 044's in the tank if you want too but space is normally the issue, we are weighing up this option with mine at the moment and leaning towards twin Aeromotives because they are smaller and quiet, newer etc.....

My single 044 ran out of flow at around 360rwkw (480rwhp) on E85 and didnt leave much buffer room incase a filter gets semi blocked etc (which i have recently experienced).

I am not much of a guru with this sort of thing, just going through it at the moment with my car and learning as i go :)

Or run the newer model walbro 415 lph e85 compatible intake fuel pump

Good for easy 400+kw at wheels

This.

You will run out of injector before you run out of pump if you go this route.

I'm not sure yet because this will replace the factory fuel pump on my G37. Will have to check how it's wired but I do remember seeing a relay box under my hood with fuel pump written on it.

Also, is this on 98 or E85?

98 RON

Oh wow, and that's a very high flowing pump. Looks like I'm going to rock two of them then. Do you keep me posted with your learning please. The thing is, it's never been done on a G37 before, so I'm not sure how everything will play out. Let's see.

My tuner recommended me against Walbro, is the 415lph any good?

This.

You will run out of injector before you run out of pump if you go this route.

Guess I'll have to look into it then. Thanks for all your help fellas

I haven't seen the G37 fuel pump assembly, but if it's the same as the 350z/V35 ones only the Walbro 342 style pumps will fit in the factory housing. I would go for the Deatschwerks 300L in that case.

There are a few twin pump housings around for them, but perhaps you could modify the stock housing to fit the new Walbro 400L E85 pump? If your tuner doesn't like them, he is a year behind the times...

Nismo/ tomei will flow around 400rwkw on pump depending on who's tuning the car

The walbro's 400s seem to be the sh!t now, I've been running 2 of them in a surge tank with e85 for about 3000km and no issues so far. They are quiet as hell too

As for putting one in the tank, I don't think they are an easy fit like the 044s.. If my memory is correct Piggaz tried putting one in but opted for a 044 as it was less hassle

I went with 2 bosch 044's in an almost identical setup to Paul aka Piggaz set up. the fuel system should have landed me somewhere in the 1500 mark once completed, for rail, pumps, tank, lines, injectors and new reg. Not too expensive for peace of mind mate.

i like to shop around Joey ;) I have only the fuel rail and reg to purchase. 600 for bosch 2000cc, 300 for pumps, 330 for the tank and fittings. I may just pip the 1500 mark, but not by much mang

You're definitely getting some great deals man.

May I ask where you guys normally install your surge tanks? Another reason I stayed away from it was that many told me you get a lot of fuel smell in cabin?

    • Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.
    • Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).
    • Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.
    • I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating. 
    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
