Does anyone know what power level a gtr fuel pump (unsure which model gtr pump it is) in a r33 gtst will support up to? Would 250rwkw be fine?

I think i got ripped off hard by a tuner when i first got my car, he took my new bosch 040 (I think) pump and said he put in a gtr pump instead, he said the bosch one was too big for 180rwkw. Plus he charged me $300

Sure did.............don't go back to that shop. If you do you will eventually end up with a tow away [as he steadily strips parts off your car over time].

I would also question if he did actually put in a gtr pump, have you seen it? Can you be sure?

Dodgy as!!!

Tell us where you are located [generally] and ask for tuners in your area that others use.

Yeah i will never go there again. I usually do everything myself and always have a go, but in this case i was impatient and just wanted the car to run right again.

I only took his word for it, the car hasnt had any issues since and i notice the fuel pump is more audible.

I live in melbourne western suburbs. I was planning on getting the car tuned at chequered tuning when i get everything together.

told me to use my petrol up so it would be easier for him to drop the fuel tank. Even though you dont need to to change the fuel pump!

Better if your fuel is low, helps to find the clip and release the slide bracket etc. Plus you can put your hands down in the tank and check how the sock and pump are sitting afterwards.

I had a Nismo pump that got louder and louder over time. Swapped it for a Walbro - one of the new type turbine ones- and can't hardly hear it.

It doesn't annoy me. It is quite loud in the car though. I have tinnitus from years of driving with the fuel pump, exhaust (which is not too loud but does add to the volume) the noisy arse tyres I usually use and the stereo wound up to 95% output to try to hear it over the mechanical din.

Im about to swap a hypergear r34 highflow into my 33 gtst. Ive looked in the hypergear thread for info but there is so much information and i cant really find anything on installation.

I just want to know what to look out for, what parts i will need and should i be replacing the turbo and manifold gaskets? And if anyone can link me to info or a tutorial that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It will pretty much bolt straight up with the braided oil line hg supplies you with. one of the water lines has to be slightly manipulated into place. Other than that it is 100% bolt on. It would be wise to replace all the gaskets and even exhaust manifold studs while you're there. I decided not too replace the studs on mine, a few months later a couple of them snapped and I had to do the whole job again. It's well worth taking the extra time and spending that little bit more and getting it done right so you don't have dramas later on.

Doing the water lines back up can be ugly too if you can't get the bolt in on 90 degree angle

easier if you just get a braided line to replace the one closer to the engine, so you just have to manipulate the angle of the turbo to do up the outer one closer to the strut tower

and yes change all the bolts and gaskets, rest is straight forward

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
