Hey mate, i found a good lot of instructions to get in there, it was in the DIY section of the forum and was showing a fuel pump install.

Pretty easy instructions to get into fuel tank. Good luck

Hi guys, along similiar lines to this post I have an issue with a Fuel Guage in my R33 GTS-T that reads ZERO (or less than).

I have just changed my fuel pump and didn't touch the sender at all, but I must of damaged the pressure hose on re-installation and it eventually leaked like a sieve above the white fuel tank plug. This took quite a few kays to start leaking, so therefore a lot of fuel was around the electrical wiring when I got back to the top of the tank.

Anyway, I fixed the hose real easy (by cutting the damage of the end) but now the guage reads empty. The only thing that I can think of is that the residual fuel which accumulated in the depression where the wiring plugs connect may have caused a short.

As I am led to believe there isn't a fuse attached to the fuel sender and the guage is there anyway to rectify this? What have I blown considering the guage is stuck completely with either half or a full tank of fuel?

Any help would be very appreciative.

Regards

Stephen

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
