What pump are you running that the stock fuel pump wiring wasn't doing the job? Is the RB20 wiring different to the RB25?

Walbro 460Ltr - need to wire in the direct 12v with relay thingo. The standard fuel pump control module couldn't provide enough current.

I spose the fact that this has only been documented on SAU 11ty billion times and not 11ty billion and 1 explains why you didn't just do it properly the first time :P

 

Pretty sure my brother went through 2 or 3 040's and changed to Walbro with no such issue? dunno. e85 lyf.

Pat gotta feel good driving it again I'm guessing, must be an animal with an RB25 in it now. 

The 465's will mangle the stock wiring, almost need to just direct wire it and bypass all the nissan stuff.

Used about 185L of fuel to get to Winton and do a track day and get back. The auto is not 'that bad' at cruising, maybe 400L for a tank but driving around town with my 5 minute commute to work just annihilates fuel. I drive like a grandpa so I am almost always in the converter (i.e under 3k rpm)

Couldn't run more than 10psi of boost due to wild breakdown of spark, and rotors ended up looking like the below, (yeah the vanes are supposed to go much further...) but had a great time for first time out at Winton :P

Well not so much worn down as worn completely through and past where they would normally stop.. other rotor looked much the same. Only noticed due to the sound of grinding on the drive home lol.

Would recommend, mainly because you know they won't fall apart under normal circumstances!

Speaking of brakes, checked out the 2018 STI over the weekend at the dealership, was froffin at the mouth when I saw the new for 2018 model's bright green 6 pot brembos, looked so good against the WR blue colour. 

 

I'm surprised it limits the current available... Usually things draw whatever current they want but melt or destroy whatever it is its going through (if not rated for the task)

The fuel pump resistor was burning hot. We bypassed it but still can't provide enough current.

I'm running in new engine below 4000rpm so no massive draw on fuel pump atm

Effortless power in the Neo rb25. Can't wait to dial in 25psi

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
