That can only mean you have not got enough fuel flow.  Either due to a pinched pickup, or inadequate supply line from the tank.

With regards to wiring, I always recommend overkill with the size of the wiring, especially inside the tank.  I'm using 34amp Teflon coated wiring to my twin in-tank walbro 460's. No issues at all.

Note: That is assuming your not trying to run more base pressure than say 43psi and no more than 30psi, so not more than 75-80psi at the pump.

I'm using the standard fuel line from boot to rail. I did the same in my previous gtr with rb30 so that will be fine.

I did notice today when I changed the fuel filter under bonnet that the rubber line connecting to the underside of the filter was oversized for the standard hard line under the car...it actually felt loose-ish. That could be the culprit :)

How did you run the 34amp thru the top hat? Not sure if I use the existing Anderson plug as I don't want to modify the top hat.

i have a Holly dominator 1800 which is e85 compatible unlike some of the dominator pumps and it has 2  walbro pumps in side so how high of a failure are people having with walbro in general as it looks like a much used pump for e85.

Stay away from the Holley dominator - They have had a high failure rate.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you run 8 gauge to the top hat only (on top of the fuel tank) or did u go direct to the fuel pump? 

If I'm not getting the voltage I need, the fuel pressure will not be up for the task and this is what I am experiencing. My tuner is certain that this is the issue. My fuel reg was fine with my previous setup (i.e. OEM lift pump with external 044 which ran power direct from batt) so I don't think it's the fuel reg.

 

I used 8 gauge up to the top hat. I did tidy up the wiring from the pump to the top hat. I didnt upgrade the wiring there. I figure walbro thought their wiring is up to the task...

I have a PHR aftermarket top hat with a huge connector on it that allows running of two pairs of 34 amp wiring to the pumps.  But if you want to keep a standard hat you can just drill and bolt some stainless steel M6 bolts through the OEM hat. Then run your electrical connections to that.  EFI Hardware sell these with plastic insulators and rubber seals if you have to mount on a metal hat (like an R32).

I had similar thoughts...the supplied walbro harness should be up for the task

Have a 32 gtr and just replaced a walbro 255lph pump with a walbro 460. I also rewired the pump with 8 gauge wiring.

Previous pump on stock wiring was getting 8.8v on idle. New pump and rewire and now getting 13.3v at idle.

 

Walbro site has a table on voltages and lph rates. Interesting to look at. 

 

The pump shouldnt be dropping pressure. You either have a leak or a faulty fuel reg

 

Where did you measure the voltage, from the top hat or are the fuel pump with the pump out of the tank? What u did obviously worked :)

How much power is your donk making?

Both times i measured it was at plug which connects to the top hat.

Pump was in the tank, all connected up and car was idling away.

Not sure but still standard ecu and injectors...

Seems the Walbro 460 E85 pump is the go , has anyone used one in an R33/34 GTR with the hose down to the strainer . I ask because my 33 has a GTR pump and bracket in the tank . Probably should have kept the original GTS25T bracket which puts the pump at the bottom of the tank .

Scotty have PM'd you for a kit to fit one of these pumps , I asked your preferred method of getting larger wiring into the tank . Those bulkhead pins shown above look interesting and I think EFI something or other do something similar . Also can you supply a reliable high current relay .

Thanks in advance cheers A .

BTW have search my ass off recently about pumps and wiring .

 

submerge it... or if you're not chasing massive numbers not ramming loads of boost into the motor (thus increasing fuel pressure) I suggest getting a DW300 version 2. They drain less current, fits on the OEM GTSt cradle without needing metal hose clamps and produce much less heat.

I'm using two 460's in an R34 GTR.  I've mounted one at the bottom where the strainer is and the other inside a PVC container where the OEM pump normally is. 

The container has a hose going through the bottom down to a second OEM pickup mounted next to the primary pump.

I run a T piece on the return with a venturi on one side to retain the venturi pump, and the other side of the T goes to a hose that returns to the upper mounted pump container.  This ensures the upper pump is always submerged such that it can prime and pull fuel from the bottom of the tank.

Works flawlessly.

Both pumps run all the time ensuring they are primed and also not stalled,  I use PWM speed control on the pumps, referencing injector pulse width so its adaptive for 98 or E85.

Ok this is my fuel system. Walbro 460 e85 pump -6 lines 1000cc injectors on a rb30 25 neo. Gtx3582r with .82 rear. 

Hoping to make 550rwhp. Or 420rwkw on either pump98 or e85. Starting to lean towards e85.

Can anyone see a problem with this setup.

On E85 yes. The pump won't flow enough or be near it's limit, and the injectors will be almost maxed.

Pump will or won't be. Just trying to understand what you wrote. I know that the injectors will be near maxed.

You should never tune beyond 80% injector duty cycle. Same goes for the fuel pump - it should have about 20% headroom too.

You won't have any of this headroom trying to make that much power with those parts.

Just purchased a 6466 for my built rb26. Looking at around 7-750rwhp on e85.

Currently I have a Walbro 460 and a Turbosmart fpr1200.

Does using my current 460 as a lift pump into a SPR400 with twin 460's inside the tank seem overkill?

Can anyone recommend me anything else?

Cheers!

It seems so long as you run the correct line size, it will work without issue.

Intune (I am in the process) has just installed the 1200 version using two 460's (with the option of 3 if needed).

It's quiet and did the job without fuss. -10 lines were run everywhere. AI suggest a minimum of -8 overflow to not pressurise the surge tank. That will require modification to the fuel hat.

Awesome. Was just about to ask about line sizes :D

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
