hey guys

so last night i was driving around and out of nowhere this loud whining noise started happening and doesnt seem to want to stop. Wasnt thrashing the car or anything just came out of nowhere really. the noise doesnt seem to change when i do anything in the car (revving, accelerating, neutral etc) except for when i turn my lights on/off the pitch changes, noise is coming from the rear of the car underneath it as far as i can tell, have a link with a video of the sound, someone please tell me whats going on?

first time i searched whining noises everything came up diff so i was worried so i thought i'd double check here with a video, so its definitely the fuel pump then? im thinking of going walbro 255 would this be a good choice? in terms of power i dont plan on much, around the 200rwkw mark

Fair enough . for reference if the diff isn't turning it can't make a noise.

To confirm pump, does it make th noise when you turn the ignition on after the car has been off for 30 seconds or so(without starting the car)

If yes it's definitely the pump. If only with the car on it would be engine or clutch related.

Don't need to start then stop the car. Just turn ignition yo on after car has been off for a while. The fuel pump will turn on for a few seconds (doesn't do iy if car was just turned off, which is why I said wait 30 seconds)

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
