Hey,

After having problems with my car running lean, i finally got around to getting the fuel pump checked and just as i through its dead (or dieing). So looks like time to upgrade.

I was adivce by the people i take it to, it get a jap fuel pump which is a direct fit to an r33 as the bosch fuel pump required some fitting time and will end up costing me just as much or more.

Now i got no idea about pumps, so if someone could help me it would be very helpful, my car is a stocker and im not going for huge hp in the future (if i did get around to it, i think the max i would aim for is 350/400rwhp but i dont see that happening anytime soon)

Ok so far i have this pumps in mind;

HKS Fuel Pump Ugrade 1407-RN022

(Fuel Pumps) ¥27,720

250 L/hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NISMO Fuel Pump 17042-RRS41

(Fuel Pumps) ¥27,720

4.1 L/min 180% more than standard. Includes harness and strainer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Enterprise Fuel Pump 255L/H

(Fuel Pumps) ¥29,938

255L/hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOMEI Fuel Pump 183002

(Fuel Pumps) ¥28,760

248L/hour.

now im guessing that the L/Hour, will reflect the hp the pump can handle, so can anyone tell me wat they can handle (i would most likly be looking at getting the Tomie one)

any other info on the pumps (like do i need Fuel Regulator if i upgrade?) would be very helpful

Cheers Michael :P

Well if you want problem free and your planning big hugeness twin turbo mods (I take it you wanna do this from your other threads) then you can always get a GTR pump as a lift pump, bling surge tank, bling 044 external pump, and then bling braided lines.

Now that'd be BLING! :rant::P

I'm being a dickhead.

In all seriousness though, any one of the pumps mentioned above would be good enough :)

My only problem (not really a problem) is that im looking for a Pump which is A DIRECT SWAP, with the stock pump. I was told Bosch wasnt (so 044 etc are out of the question) im not sure about walbro, but im guessing they are the same.

As i memtion above to make the pump sit, and work 100% it means labour time and i was told that it is just easy to buy a jap pump

the gtr pumps are fine (unless you plan on more then 250rwkw), and are a direct swap for your old gtst fuel pump. Unless you want to go a nismo item (which is roughly $600 from memory) you'd be hard pressed to find one that is direct fit around here. They are cheap, but by no means a 'crap fuel pump'. Walbros are another good pump which is well priced, and in a few group buys i've seen of them, the guy threw in an installation kit consisting of all the other bits and pieces that you need to get it installed (with instructions in some cases). Didn't seem like much modification was required.

don't worry about this "direct swap business".. if you have half a brain, you can ring any of them when you get the bracket out and start thinking. I wouldn't be paying top dollar for a tomei, nismo or something pump like that which is probably just a rebadged something else at a 1/2 the price.

I've rigged up a bosch and a walbro into a couple of different skylines.. both wouldn't have been described "straight" fit as they didn't fit the bracket exactly, etc.. but nothing you can't fix with a bit of ingenuity.

Went I get my ass motivated, I'm going to put up a guide on how to install a pump into an R32 on a website I am doing on my buildup.. with photos, etc. Its a 30min job.

I got walbro 255l/h pump for $180 delivered as part of a group buy here

Just because its cheap doesnt mean it isnt good :rofl:  

Will support 250rwkw pretty easily

They wont handle more than 270rwkw though.

I was advised to buy one... and needless to say im peeved at the piece of junk as its maxed out @ 270rwkw.

Im going the Bosch now. Should have done it the first time and saved myself the hassle

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
