dude we have the same kind of mods only difference is i have a stock Fuel pump and im running 176kw at the wheels!

2 stupid questions

Does a fuel pump make that much difference in the numbers?

And is a fuel pump easy to install?

Cheers and thanks for the post i had my exhaust done at CRD and i was happy with the work.

1. Quite possiblly

2. Yes

Judging by your pic I'm assuming you have a GTST and after exhaust 176kw is about on par with what you can expect, power wise.

The stock GTST fuel pump has a tendency to die at around this power, which is why people replace it for something like a Bosch 040. It may not give you magical kw but it will ensure that the car is getting sufficient fuel at high rpm.

And will i feel the difference? as in car runs smothered etc etc ?

A fuel pump makes no difference to your power.

Unless you were running out of fuel on the old pump

i noticed a little bit of difference since the new pump, idoling bit better, holdin revs abit nicer too.

theres bosch 040's going cheap in the For Sale>Business section check it out.

They tune and advise on our car....with world class results.

In one day they had a total of 17 GTR's there getting work done, I can't think of anywhere else in the world you might see that. (possibly in a huge complex in Japan)

Tilbrooks auto and dyno in South Australia had 15 GTR's and around 5 gts-t 2 180sx and one s13 at one stage but 17 gtr's in one place cool!
