Hello,

I'm soon to get a tune and i need to decide whether to replace my current fuel pump.

Currently it is a Tomei one (276l/m i think) paired with 1000c injectors and stock fuel pressure. I have already done the direct voltage modification.

My hopefull power goal will be 310-330rwkw on e85. At the moment the current tomei pump makes an extremelly loud buzzing noise when hot or low fuel and after reading some things im sure it means the pump is on the way out (always ran on low fuel). Noise isnt grinding but like electrical buzz coming from fuel pump area like a transformer box sound. I havent noticed any fuel cuts or performance issues.

Question is would this pump be suitable for the power i want to make on e85, secondly is it recommended to replace the fuel pump when it makes a loud buzzing noise (intermittent) and thirdly what are my pump options (intank only).

I have read about the bosch 044 which flows less than the tomei so that is out of the question. Then there are some Walbros but i read the latest *e85* 460l/m one has some issues with priming when the fuel is below the pump level (read on this forum).

Please kindly assist and if someone can recommend a pump (budget of <300$) then please advise me where to get it from via here or PM.

Thanks

    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
