hey guys
just wanted to say first of all, im a long time reader but first time poster, SAU has helped me with a few other issues in the past so thanks for that!
any ways i am having some fuel dramas with my rb20det converted s13 silvia and would love to hear any opinions.
dramas started the other day, i started to rip a donut (closed road of course) got only around once and the car completely died on me, like it was singing at pretty much redline then just lost all power and nearly stalled, once the car was stopped for a sec it revved back up like normal and kept driving fine.
i though okay must be just cause its low on fuel so i topped it up to about 2/3 full and tried again, same result.
i pulled the pump out to inspect, i was told it was a 044, it looks like one cept it has nothing stamped on it at all? ebay fake???
couldn't see anything visible wrong with it so i just put it back in and now its making a weird sound, it was already really loud but now every 20 - 30 secs it makes a really strange sound that i havent noticed before almost like a clicking or gargeling which only lasts for a split second, the fuel press drops for a moment (from ~40 to around 38) then straight back up.
im pretty sure that its broken, but i thought id see if you guys have any more suggestions before i go buy a new one as im pretty broke at the moment
i just thought that when pumps broke that was it, just died
