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 ?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
