I have a RB25DET with PFC, GT30R, 040 fuel pump, 740cc injectors, stock fuel regulator.

my fuel pump is very noisy. it was brand new. its actually the 3RD brand new 040 i have had fitted to the vehicle and all have been very noisy.

it has been confirmed that the pump has been installed correctly.

when squeezing the fuel lines connecting to the stock fuel reg, the whingy pump goes quite, but after u release the lines, it goes noisy again.

the car coughs and splutters with anything more than half throttle, or pretty with any positive boost pressure.

i have looked and cant find any kinks in any fuel lines or anything like that, could there be an issue with the stock fuel regulator?

I have come to the conclusion that 040 fuel pumps cant possibly be so bad that 3 brand new ones can fail, so i am refusing to believe there is a fuel pump problem.

any thoughts?

cheers.

yes its been tuned. i have checked the pump filter and its pretty clear.

the car drives perfectly fine off boost, but as soon as you try and sting it, its coughs n splutters.

coilpack and ignition has been checked and is fine.

pump is still very noisy.

    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
    • I thought about ditching it but I was worried my bonnet would sound like a 90's Swift GTi sub-filled boot. 
    • Does anyone find that they have to tighten their alternator belt once in a while? Mine started squealing again.
    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
