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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
