So i have a pretty much factory r34 gtt only engine mods are front mount and AVC-R boost controller and i am running 12psi without a tune.

I have recently been told by another rb25/AVC-r user that because my injector duty is only 20% and goes down to 19% at higher RPM that upgrading my fuel pump will help.

Is this true? also what intank pump would you recommend?

Cheers.

What he said.... run RUN RUUUUNNNN!!!!

If your planning to push more power then upgrading the fuel pump is a good start. Personally I like the Deachwerks drop in pumps. I have one in my neo stagea and it dropped straight in. Heaps of flow, very quiet and has proven to be very reliable. Plus DW do alot of they're own R&D.

My neo responded very well to basic exhaust mods and a retune (nistune). Much much more midrange, better fuel economy and a bit more power up top. But my first mod was the fuel pump... other than FBO or oil supply, insufficient fuel supply is the next biggest engine killer.

Cheers

Don't get a new pump unless you actually need one. ......

I had a mechanic recommending one for when your car is modded (I'm guessing because you are making an already worn fuel pump work harder, preventive maintainence), I was curious if your position has changed on this matter?

Playing devil's advocate, upping the fuel pump severely while using stock gear can actually raise the fuel pressure because it overpowers the reg.

The thing is, to really confirm this, you install a FPR gauge, and usually that also comes with a regulator.... so nobody knows whether this actually is overpowering the stock regulator or not.

Suppose that scenario is not a stock car tho.

I dunno. My fuel pressure gauge is a handheld WIKA 6bar 4" dial with a couple of lengths of fuel hose and a T piece. I just install it when I need to know. On any car where I need to know.

Like myself, you know you work in industry when your car is littered with Swagelok and Wika lol.

Get a nismo. Best decision I ever made. View my build thread for more info

I have a long discontinued Tomei R34 GTT fuel pump you could buy 😁 I believe they are the same as the Nismo pumps.

Same as this one - https://www.streettuned.com.au/shop/uncategorised/tomei-fuel-pump-skyline-r34-silvia-s15-248l-h/?srsltid=AfmBOooWMMCUDfZUAXTtACDl8cs7Q9GjFaKa4JDucGINYu5sqSH0tya0

It's never been used to pump fuel, although it was installed in the tank briefly before I changed direction and went nuts with my build. Which is still not finished...

I see it in the garage from time to time and think I should really try and sell it 🤣

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
