I'm glad they have changed (fixed) that. 

It would be maybe 5 or 6 years ago when I bought a DW400 "skyline specific" kit, sure the sticker on the box said it was a skyline specific kit.... but it was just the basic fuel pump wiring kit. 

Even the pictures on Just Japanese show the generic wiring on this skyline specific pump. So maybe its a very recent change?

@Kinkstaah FTW! 
Thank you... hahaha mine is in stock-ish boost and the use case is not to chase power. I mainly want to make sure the 20 year old pump is changed

Thats the thing - They do supply the wiring...... but you can just unplug your stock OEM pump and plug it directly into the DW340.

I had a stock backup pump here and thought to myself "That looks a lot like the OEM plug for a stock GTT pump" and lo and behold, it is.

Ah, nice.

What's the go with the check valve situation? I'd assume it would have one considering its a low flow pump so should have a heap of room to work with.... but you never know with DW lol. 

I'm not entirely sure WRT internal check valve. I am lucky enough to run my fuel pressure at 43psi :p. I assume it's higher than 43psi as I needed no retuning after changing pumps from a Walbro 460 which was the variant that had the 120psi check valve which I think they turned into 525? (I am unsure)

The check valve is just a little one way valve to keep the fuel line full for the next time you start the car. 

With my old DW400 pump, you'd key on and have zero fuel pressure. Crank the car and still have zero fuel pressure. 

Would take about 3 or 4 goes at starting the car for the pump to build fuel pressure and finally start. 

Sounds like it's a safe bet that it has one considering you didn't mention any issues with cold starts. 

 

Well, on that note no - I don't actually have much in the way of pressure, but priming the car results in.. having pressure. I confess that I probably have to do two prime cycles for the pressure to actually *stay* at 43psi but it will obviously bleed off pretty slowly in my one, isolated setup.

In my experience it'll start after a crank or three tops. But we're talking about a modified LS in my case. So experiences with RB may vary, though I never touched much/any of the startup cranking stuff for the OEM ECU.

Good news!!! Changed the O ring today and I’ve got the “pssshhhh” back when I open the fuel cap 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼

It was 100% the O ring because that bloody thing was inside the fuel tank 😂😂😂😂😂

Fitting new fuel pump was a pain as always since the DW is a bit longer than stock. But she’s running!!! ❤️

Ha! well, there's your problem! 

Guess the last person in there didn't have great attention to detail....

Hahaa yup. The last person used the same screwdriver and hammer method to undo the lock. But I don’t think they got the memo on being gentle 😂

 

there is one mystery left, this suspicious stain on the left is….suspicious 

I don’t understand how it could have happened

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
