wondering how much the R33 stock fuel pump can push, ive herd guys just upgrading em after 200 rwkw but then guys that are making 250 kw with stock pumps.

whats the story,all my previous cars have had aftermarket fuel pumps.

yeah its not an exact "this is max limit" but its not worth the risk if its going to lean out or risking it given the price to upgrade is cheap too. i also had starting problems with my stock pump but the new one has fixed that

Hmmm well i've got a 620hp GT35/40R going on soon, i will have to upgrade the injectors and the fuel pump as well. Seems the more money ya spend on ya car, the more money you have to spend to keep it working right......hehe

And if you want use the full power of that turbo you will have to replace alot more things that fuel pump and injectors :uh-huh:

No point 'upgrading' to a GTR fuel pump which is generally just as old. Might as well spend the same or a little extra and get a brand new bosch.

In my old GTS-t I had a brand new Bosch 040 supplied/fitted for $350 and that was 18mths ago.

INASNT: trust me, i've got a lot of parts just sitting here waiting to go on ;)

Benm: Yeah have been looking at the 040 and the 044. Seeing as the more i take this car past standard the more it might just be a track car. So no real point in doing an in tank pump.

040 are designed to be intank.

I thought the only differance btw 044 and 040 was 044=external and 040=internal.

Just some advise, something learnt by experience. Buy the 040, build a surge tank a little bigger, and mount the 040 inside the surge tank. This will help reduce the noise from the pump (and trust me a 044/040 is bloody noisy), you can then put as much sound damping material, as you prefer, all over the surge tank to reduce the noise even more. Fuel will also act as a coolant for the pump. With a 044 (external) you are unable to dampen the noise as you run a risk of overheating the pump (so i have been told).

I unfortunately just have to live with it, but i honesty am not bothered by the noise, my mates on the other hand can't get over it, and keep biatching.

Gee ur making me think hard now (new owner has had it for about 3mths).

R33 GTS-t, 198rwkw, 3" full nismo exhaust (pretty quiet compared to most GTS-t's), std turbo, std ecu, fmic, k&n, ex cam gear.

I will get the Fuel pump when I get the PFC tuned.

As far as injectors go, ive spoken to many a performance shop, and said the RB25s injectors seem to be at there max at about 250-260 rwkw.

yer, i was going to ask what do standard injectors max out at?

ive got a powerfc coming and im going to order a 040 fuel pump as well when driftking gets more in

wondering if stock injectors will be ok for stock turbo ?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
