my fuel pump is dying :devil:

i need some help as to which pumps physically fit and flow equal to or greater than my stock pump on my R32gtst

having done a search, i came up with pumps from the following cars that people have theorised fit and flow well...

- GTR fuel pump

- VL turbo pump

- VL pump

- R31 pump

- Z32 pump

BUT what i need is people who have fitted these pumps and can confirm that they flow at or greater than the stock pump, and whether or not the size makes fitting a problem? (post flow rates if you have them :rofl: )

what does everyone think? obviously i am after a cheap option, preferrably new, but really don't or won't ever need any mroe than about 150-200 L/hr...

can i buy these new or a direct replacement one from repco/bursons?

any help at all on this area (even if you think its irrelevant, post it!) will be really appreciated as this is one area that i have no idea about!

cheers,

Warren.

I've got a denso fuel pump for mine. Its actuallt smaller than a stock iteam, however it has a greater fuel pressure and flow rate than any JECs (standard) fuel pump i've seen. 200 cash. Keep an eye out for a fuel pump on the forums. BTW i believe VL and VL turbsre pumps have the same part no.

Try searching the wreckers for a late model Supra pump, supposed to be greater flow than GTR pumps, they are made by Denso, possibly the same as Big_boy is reffering too. I had a mate install one in his 32, it seems to work well, he is making around 200rwkw

If not, get a new Bosch 040 in tank pump, they can be had for around $250-300

Probably a few different ones like people are saying will do the trick.. I wouldn't bother with any of the VL/R31 pumps unless you really wanted the cheapest possible.

Bosch 910 for $200 or so is probably fine for anything less than 250rwkw. Depends what your future goals are are.

What's the consensus on installing a higher flowing fuel pump with regards to running rich. A few guys say that it makes no difference because it runs back to the tank BUT I remember a couple of guys on the forums saying that a higher flowing fuel pump seems to put increased pressure through the injectors & run richer.

Just wondering what the verdict is & peoples practial experiences, do you need to adjust the ECU?

Oh, & what the signs of a fuel pump on its way out. I sometimes here a wierd urmphh noise when I switch off the ignition (but only sometimes) from the back right of the car. I know its already running rich though (1 o2 sensor is rogered & CAS is retarded).

Cheers,

Penfold

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
