hey everyone

has anyone on here installed a bosch 040 internal fuel pump into an r33 gtst.

I tried doing mine the other day but have had a couple dramas.

Was wondering if someone could help.

Is there anyone around ferntree gully (eastern suburbs)

willing to come give us a hand. If ya wanna get paid for fitting

thats cool, just let me know how much ya willing to do it for.

Ive taken the old pump out, and mounted the new one to the cradle, but when i

went to put it back into the tank, i found that the long plastic cylinder which i assume

reads the fuel levels in the tank won't fit back in. It seems since the new pump is

physically larger it causes grief re-mounting the fuel sensor thingy lol.

Hope someone can help.

cheers.

I just did one yesterday......You shouldn't have to remove the plastic cylinder thing.

The pump will fit back in but it is pain, you just need to get it in the right angle.

Yeah i didn't think i would either, but while i was doing it my gf (whose an apprentice mechanic) thought it'd be a good idea to do it, so now im stuck, cant get it back in. Where u located. wanna come fit mine lol.

    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
    • Mate, I take this thread in random directions on occasion myself, so no foul I'm a old fan of MCM anyway, I like their banter, and enjoy most of the stuff they do
    • Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.  
    • I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
