well currently i have a GTR fuel pump in my 32 and its time to upgrade (nothing is currently wrong with the GTR pump but will run out of puff with new mods) I was simply going to put the 044 intank and be done with it but after talking to a few people i learned that you can leave that pump intank as a lift pump and mount the 044 externally. I've had a good think about this and the more i think about it i think it would be a really good idea but i'm not too sure exaclty where to mount the 044 as i don't want/have a surge tank! Was also thinking this would be easier than mounting the 044 intank (quite a bit of modding needed)

If anyone has done this and has pics it would also be much appreciated!

cheers!

Mount it where ever it fits.

internally (inside boot) or externally (underside of the rear of the car)

Its upto you where you put it.

Most people going to the effort of installing a secondard inline fuel pump would have surge tanks IMO.

Going to all the effort there is no point not to.

So hence probably not a lot of people have two pumps for mild power applications

Here’s the problem, most guys find that installing a second pump is not as easy as it sounds. You have to;

1. find space for it

2. mount it in rubber as they vibrate a lot

3. run the fuel lines to it

4. run a separate relay, as 2 pumps draw too much current for the standard wiring

5. run a decent size power supply from the battery to the pump

Compared to, remove the standard pump and make a few small mods and install the 044. Later on, if you need the extra flow that 13.8 volts gives you, you can run the relay and dedicated power supply.

That’s the reason most people do the pump swap, it is actually easier/faster/simpler.

>_< cheers :(

  • 1 month later...

ok just pulled my old pump out and realised that GTR and GTS have different set ups

looks like its going to be a shit load easier to fit it in tank than i expected

what will happen if i dont install a check valve?

what will happen if i dont install a check valve?

The check valve stops fuel flowing back to the tank when the pump is off.

So when you turn your car off basically you'll lose fuel pressure, the longer it's

off the more pressure you lose.

In real terms this means when turning it back on after it being off overnight

you might need to wait a few seconds between switching the pump on and

engaging the starter motor.

I'd leave the check-valve on there :P

044 do not come with a check valve

either way im off to buy one now :wave:

mine came with a banjo style fitting with a check valve... i removed it and installed one from motorsport connections ..

lets you use a straight fitting Vs the banjo style side exit off the pump.. also lets you use a speedflow type screw on fitting for your main feed line from the pump...

plus it screws directly into the fitting on the end of the pump as well

think it was about $50

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
