How Loud Is A Gtr Foel Pump Supposed To Be?

[Paradizzle]

they only run partially at idle to stop flowing at the full rate when its not needed.

how did it go fitting in the 33gts-t?

does the whole assembly slide in or did u just have the pump and fit it onto the gts-t standard bracket?

I just had the pump, i didnt install it. From what i gather the mechanic that installed it just used the standard bracket.

If you dont like loud pumps i reccomend giving a 34 gtr pump a miss, i may replace it with something else in the near future!

So do the GTR pumps fit neatly into the Gts-t brackets??? Or do you need a gtr bracket to fit these?

thanks for that.

i have the whole r34 gtr assembly, the pump comes with a thick rubber surround, im pretty sure that would keep it quiet. if he fitted it to the stock bracket chances are its metal on metal to make it fit in a near standard position.

i have a bosch pump which is touching the bottom of the tank, but i installed it with rubber everywhere ie no metal on metal, and its only just louder than stock, not noticeable unless u are really listening to it.

Ive just installed a GTR pump. Quite noisy but then again I only have about 10L of fuel in the tank. Can hear it wirring away. Might take it out one day and put some rubber around the pump in between the hose clamp.

I was worried the pump might be on the way out but it seems that a few people seem to find them noisy.

I tried to keep it from resting on the tank but it was pretty tight in the R33gtst. Its a sedan so I'm not sure if the tank is a different shape.

Anybody pulled them out to put rubber in there and found it reduces the noise?

Thanks

Low muddy hum, similar to my last sl*t of a gurlfriends vibe, when the double D's were down low

Sure something isn't touching something? Overly tight wires can "strum" and xfer the vibrations.

Genuine or Silicone? Nice

Its a real buzzing noise. It's not a rattling.

Very loud inside the car. Quite loud outside also.

What sort of rubber do you need to use to be fuel resistant?

[MANWHORE]

Buzzing - depending on how loud it is - 1 person's loud is another person's quite.

Either nitrile rubber or EFI hose.

You can buy big EFI hose and slit it. Cheapest nitrile rubber (never had a problem with it decomposing) is buying a pair of nitrile rubber gloves from supercheap auto. About $10. I just cut them up and use that.

I still say no rubber is required. I dont' have rubber, my pump sounds the same as any gtr pump in a gtr.

The only time i've ever used rubber is when i was doing something special. not just a normal hose clamped pump install.

Well this would give most people the shts if you don't have the radio on.

Just filled up , will wait till the weekend and check it out.

Thanks for the ideas.

Maybe cut up some radiator hose and use that?

Nah, I'm pretty sure the rubber is different. Radiator hose is water only.

Cheapest option (won't cost ya anything) is to grab some of that hose that came iwth the cradle, slit that, and put it in.

Have you put that extra clamp in yet?

Have you put in a new tank seal yet?

[benl1981]

Ive put a new tank seal in.

I haven't taken it out yet to put the extra clamp on. I am sure that won't help alone - but I think maybe if I rotate the pump a little and make sure it isn't touching it might be better..hopefully

My Brother and I put a nismo pump into his R32 and its much louder than the stocker and a little louder than my 040. That little pump revs/hums quite a bit.
