These parts were original to be/were fitted to my MR2, however, I've aborted the build so am moving some gear on. Most of these parts will suit multiple platforms.

Parts are located in Ipswich, QLD. Happy to freight stuff where required.

A) Weldon 2025A Fuel Pump

This fuel pump is the big daddy. It is in 'as new' condition and was barely used. It did two drag meets on a rotary powered altered drag car before being replace with a mechanical fuel pump. I have used pumps such as the Aeromotive A1000 and SX Performance Fuel pumps and always had reliability issues or fuel heating issues (compounded by the flow through design of the aforementioned pumps) so I bought this mac daddy of a pump and was going to run a deadheaded fuel rail to cure such problems. This is a serious bit of kit and will cost in excess of $750 + freight from the USA. Pump is -12AN inlet, -10AN outlet. Below is Weldon's blurg on this pump.

Maximum HP: (-12 inlet and -10 outlet) 1400 hp Inj @ 14V EFI (700 hp on Methanol) & 1600 hp @ 14V Carb (800 hp on Methanol)

GPH/PSI Range: 140-180 GPH / 0-80 PSI

Considerations: If your actual horsepower is close to the Max HP limit and/or you are considering a power adder, See Part # D2035-A or 2345-A

    B) Aeromotive Billet Fuel Pump Speed Controller
    Used for 2000km on my car, was new before this. Been sitting around forever since. Basically replicates the standard dual speed system like used on the MR2 (and likely a few other cars) but using solid state electronics and is designed for a much higher current rating. The switching point for hi/low speed operation is also adjustable. Heaps keep a bit of heat out of the fuel system by only running the pump flatout when required.

    $250
    C) Takata MPH-341 Harness
    Never been used, still in box. The FIA approval expires this year, however, I doubt anyone on here will be requiring that. Been sitting in the cupboard for 5 years now. Time for it to go.
    $250
    D) Weldon A2040-281-A-120 Fuel Pressure Regulator
    This is the recommended regulator for use with the weldon fuel pump already listed. The weldon fuel pump requires a -8 return line. This regulator has 2x-10 inlet ports and a -8 return port, as well as the usual gauge ports.
    Brand new in box.
    $200
    E) Bride Vios III Sport Seat
    Brand new, never left the plastic. Bought this a few years ago with intent to fit to MR2, never happened. Have a set of rails to suit, as listed below in MR2 specific.
    $550 ($700 inc. rails)
    F) Aermotive -10 Fuel Filter (100 micron S/S filter fitted)
    Couple of cosmetic blemishes on the outside as this filter has been used. 100 micron is used for pre-pump filtration.
    $50
    G) Aeromotive -10 Fuel Filter, replacement element, 10 micron
    Could be used in the above housing, 10 micron for pre injector filtration. Brand new in box.
    $15
    H) Aeromotive 12302 #12AN Pro-Series 100 Micron Fuel Filter
    Electroless nickel finish -12 fuel filter. Brand new in Box. 100 micron element for pre-pump use. Was going to be used with the mac daddy weldon pump listed above.
    $120
    I) NGK V-Power Racing Spark Plugs
    R5671A-8 (Heat range 8) 2 boxes
    R5671A-9 (Heat Range 9) 2 boxes
    These are non-resistor plugs. I couldn't connect to my Autronic ECU when using these with CDI ignition setup. Not sure how they'd go on a standard car?
    $10 per box of 4
    J) Wilwood Forged Billet Superlite Calipers
    Pair, brand new, never got used. 4 piston, suit 1.25" thick rotor I am pretty sure.
    $300
    K) MSD 8920 Tach Adapter
    Required if you get rid of the standard ignitor (ie, fit a CDI, etc) in order for the tacho to operate. Cant remember specifics, there is the 8920 and 8910 I think, useable in different situations. I know I was running a CDI and required the 8920 unit. Have wired a plug onto it, just your standard weatherpack connector you can get at most auto stores.
    $40
    L) Volk Racing RE30 Forged Wheels - 17x8 +38, 18x9.5 +42 w/ Falken RT615's
    Mint RE30's, travelled 2000km with these so tyres still have masses of tread left (I bought the wheels and tyres new). Bronze in colour, 17"->18" front rear stagger (looks good on things like NSX/MR2 that have a nice low front end shape). No gutter rash, grazes or scratches. Come with hubcentric rings to suit MR2 and also Volk carbon type centre caps.
    Suit new wheel buyer who is looking to save a bit of cash. These are basically one of the lightest wheels available on the market. Tyres are 225 wide up front and 275 wide on the rear. Some pictures attached below. I can get pictures of all the individual wheels if requested.
    $3500

Hi

I am interested in the Weldon Furl Pump but concerned about the date of 29/11/99 on th pump. Can you indicate how long you have had the pump and is this date correct? As staed I am very interested and live in Ipswich and have $400 cash now if I am happy with the pump build date.

Denis 0403829350

Hi Denis,

Completely understand your concern regarding the pump. That build date is indeed correct. I have had the pump for approximately 5 years now, in which time I haven't used it, minus when I first purchased it and flow tested it through a regulator at 45psi on the bench. The pump was original used from new in a 13b powered rotary drag car (in tandem with a second 2025 pump) briefly before changing over to a mechanical fuel pump. I can likely get dates between which it was used and approximate hrs, I purchased it from tuner of said car (a good friend of mine) and I know it'd been stashed in his cupboard of goodies for at least a few years prior to me possessing it.

If there was no date of manufacture you could almost mistake this for a new pump. The condition is 95% pristine and the pump has been kept sealed up during storage to ensure no foreign materials can enter it. Happy for you to come have a look at the pump. Also happy to refund you if you take it home, use it and it isn't up to scratch (however, I am 99.999% sure it is as I tested its flow against the factory flow graph at 45psi and it was spot on). $400 might not cut the mustard but I'd definitely bite at $450. Come have a look, if you want we can rig it up and perform some flow testing to hopefully alleviate some of your concerns.

As an electrician by trade I can tell you that by a quick inspection of the brushes that the pump has had very little use, only a handful of hours at the most. Find attached picture of one of the brushes.

PS: I know I am not very well known amongst these forums, I will just quickly add that I have been a moderator on the MR2 Australia (www.mr2australia.com) forums for a number of years, have done tens of thousands of dollars of trade on there and am no fly by nighter.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
