I always though the 040 was a stupid design.. and yet now everybody seems to want to fit one.

910 is nearly same flow and can be mounted same as factory position without problems, and you can attach the standard sock via a bit of minor adjustment.

GTR pump is also not bad and should support up to 'around' 250rwkw.. which is what I have just put in my car. You have to mess a bit with the socks there too but it works. Its just a bit older so there is a slight question over reliability.

My thoughts.. if you want at or around 250rwkw.. don't stuff around with the 040, go straight for the 044.

Damn - just bought a 040 (for $198 delivered) and have received it already... wish I read this post beforehand, as the 910 was around $30 cheaper!

Plus Im only after 200awkw for my Stagea. But the workshop said it wasnt a problem to fit it up, maybe I'll ask them to install it as low as possible.

Query - whats the story with this last 1/4 tank? Something I should be aware about?

Brendan

something to do with how the 040 gets mounted in the tank

walbros/stockos use a sock

the 040s have to sit upright or something, so cant take advantage of the full tank

apparently it can be a problem with hard cornering also . . . .

i certianly wouldnt want the fuel pump to come up dry, mid booting it through a corner

When i installed my 040 i cut the bottom of the bracket and sat it lower than the standard pick up so i can get about 40km's on the fuel light now....

Its all about installation.... A tiny bit more noise but you cant hear it once the car starts.... Exhaust takes care of that....

Nothing wrong with an 040

You just need to have your head screwed on....

I swear i should open a shop.... Id make a motza....

But yeah cut the bottom of the bracket off and then sit the pump as low as possible it does touch the bottom of the tank on the edge.....

Here is a picture for ya....

ok i've redone it now.. it was about an inch higher than yours in the pic.. so i've made it slightly lower now as well.. only took me like 2 hours second time round :D same amount of cuts though :)

I'll see how i go

thanks heaps :D

Guys

I installed the Tomei fuel pump in my 300awkw R32 GTR - and it works fine. Installed an SX regulator at the same time tho

it's a direct replacement for the std pump, is NOT noisy like the 040s, I don't need to worry about how much fuel I have and I don't get any surging (all cool)

It's a little more expensive than the 040 and I got mine from Nengun :angry:

paulr33, what do you think a gtr pump would support up to max? I am looking at around 250rwkw.. it should support this no probs hey?

Using the standard wiring (ie; 11.5 volts at the pump) the R32GTR fuel pumps are OK for ~265 rwkw. If you use a relay and dedicated wiring (ie; 13.8 volts at the pump) they are OK for ~300 rwkw. The Z32 fuel pump is pretty similar to the R32GTR one. The R33GTR fuel pump actually flows slightly more. I have not tested an R34GTR fuel pump, or seen a proper test of one. Following is the best test of Nissan pumps I have seen;

The following is a good example of what happens to a fuel pump's flow when the voltage changes;

1903flowtest-supra.gif

Fuel pumps are rated at flow versus pressure, that's why I laugh when is see stuff like "500 bhp fuel pump". Bosch fule pumps are rated at 73.6 psi, Assuming 36 psi fuel pressure (above boost) the Bosch pumps will flow their rated capacity up to 2.5 bar boost.

flowtest-walbro.gif

As you can see from the above at 13.5 volts the Walbro GSS341 flows 260 l/h (its rating) at zero boost (ie; ~36 psi fuel pressure). But at 2 bar this drops to 220 l/h.

A comparsion in size;

Flow at pressure is all about consistent torque, and a fuel pump needs torque from its electric motor. As usual if you want more torque you need a bigger motor.

Hope that was of some help

:angry: cheers :P

Hey Guys

Im confused about fuel pumps. I know i could just get a 044 and be done with it, but i dont like the issues that might occur if its installed wrong (last quarter tank pickup) and also the noise that it might make. Also, since ill be mounting it in tank, it means that the factory bracket will be mangled and itll be harder to put back to stock if i ever need.

Im not really considering 2nd gtr items cause of the hassles that might come with it (not much warranty, old etc)

I want to get a fuel pump from nismo or tomei. Price wise theyre similar. $340 - $360 for rice brand vs $ 310-$330 for bosch. Take into account that you dont have to modify anything for the jap brands, the jap brands will probably be cheaper if you take it to a mechanic to get installed.

Nismo's specs are

246 liters per hour at 2.94bar

Tomei's specs are

248 litres per hour at 3 bar

Bosch 044 specs are

200 litres per hour at 5 bar

My power target is around 250-270rwkw (probably with a gt-rs or similar)

So for that i need 6 X 550cc injectors (just to be on the safe side)

So that comes to 3.3L/min or 198L/hour (max the injectors will flow)

Assuming fuel pressure is 2.5bar and a gt-rs is run at 19psi, the total psi i need is 55.75psi or 3.8 bar

Out of the 3 above, only the bosch meets my requirements as it has the flow capicity as well as the pressure capacity.

So i guess what im asking is:

Is it still ok to get the tomei or nismo fuel pumps?

I mean, itbmils has 300kw with the tomei one (the gtr one i assume which is 276L/h@3bar)

Initially i thought it was just the flow i needed to look at, but with the psi rating as well, im confused.

Are my calculations totally way off (if i run 19psi of boost, do i need an extra 19psi of fuel pressure?)

Anyone have any thoughts?

How do you install a Walbro 255L/Hr fuel pump in an R32 GTS-T? Do they come with instructions, or do you need to get a professional garage to install them?

I live in Mildura, so finding a pro garage might be a bit of a drama!

Thanks,

Adrian.

word of advise... i had a walbro 550hp in tank pump installed incorrectly, causing my brand new 310kw rb25 setup 2 lean out under huge 3rd gear tire smokin and i now need new rings. hooray for dodgy pump installs...

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
