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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
