Hey guys

What fuel pump(s) do you guys run?
More in the way of performance and upgraded setups..


Ill be looking at doing my fuel pump setup in the near future, and thought I'd get some feedback on what everyone has used,good/bad etc

Ill be running new lines from tank to the engine, and a surge tank.
As for pumps, originally was thinking of leaving the walbro as a intank feed pump, up to x2 044 bosch externals pumps.

But also think i will look into possibly running one big high flow external pump instead of the 044's

Thoughts, feedback, opinions.

If need fuel pump to be done, and in sydney I'm the man for the job I could help you if needed cheers.

stop spamming dude.

back to OP, really depends On your power goal what setup you run. I would have thought stock internal pump would be fine when used with external pump and surge tank

edit. just read you already have a walbro, so disregard

I use a pro-fab under car surge tank with a insomnia feed pump and 2 044's. 1 feeds into the standard feed line, the other into the retun line and I ran a new return from the FPR to the surge. Pretty budget system as I used MPFI hose and not braided or pushlok.

Ran 1 x 044 and maxed it at around 357rwkw on E85, it was in tank, quiet and reliable...

Now I run a pier burg lift pump, surge tank, twin 044 feeds, twin -6 lines to rail, twin returns via fuel cooler... Epic setup!!

Got pics of the fuel cooler?

Some shitty pics in here mate -

You could have had a squizz yesterday but i was a lazy kent and didnt introduce myself :P

I bought my car with an In-tank Warlbro 255 and an External Bosch 044 in the boot with a surge tank as well. You can hear the pump in the car, but its not annoying, sounds cool imo haha. Car makes 330rwkw, not sure what the limit of the system is as I bought it like this.

If you were going for over 350kw, I'd get a surge tank, lines and lift pump/in-line pumps for the peace of mind.

Otherwise I'd just run a nismo in-tank. Plenty of people making 300kw+ with just that and decent injectors, myself included. Check out ss8gohan's r34 GTR build ;)

okay cool,some really good feedback thanks guys.
seems everyone mostly runs the twin 044's.

no one here ran an aeromotive inline yet?

yeah when its ready it will able to run some decent power, depends how hard i want to push it, but it will defintely be over 350kw without stretching limits.Ive allready got my lines setup at the rail, got them feeding both ends and returning from the middle.

I like the looks of that fuel cooler! good thinking, might look into one of those.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
