Hello I have researched fuel pumps and have come down to a couple I am looking at.

Does any one know of the quality of Detschworks fuel pumps?

I am looking at a Walbro 255l or a Tomei 255l or the Detschworks 255l and maybe the Bosch 044.

With the Walbro and Bosch 044, are they hard to mount to the r32 gtst-t fuel pump cradle?

Do I have to buy the socks seperately?

Which ones which be a good choice?

None? :P

You need to start by letting us know your future power goals, and whether you plan to run e85 one day. Personally I would be shoving a Walbro 416L e85 pump in there, or the Walbro 255 if you want to save a few bucks.

Socks come with the pump.

PM me if you would like some price quotes. ;)

I want to aim for 300hp first and after that go for as close to 400 hp as I can with good response.

I have a rb20 with stock turbo, full turbo back exhaust with sports cat. return to stock piping fmic, and will put on a boostcontroller soon and maybe a rb25 turbo. I live in Japan so no E85

Tomei pump. I've had mine for years. Easy to install, has the sock on the end, nice and quiet

But it does depend on HP you are chasing?

I would like Tomei but it is last place right now due to price.

As above, pretty much any new pump will be fine. I have an 040 in R32 running 25Neo at ~350 engine HP and it's fine. And it's old - I put in in many years ago.

As above also, the Walbro 255 would be a fine cheap choice. But being in Japan maybe one of the Jap tuner brands like the Tomei one would also work out acceptably priced.

      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
