to all of those people supporting the 255lph walboro pump - they are shit. You need to get the Walboro 255lhp HP version. The high pressure version handles pressure a lot better than the standard 255 one. The standard one is for a NA car.

And I Don't care what you all say - I have one, and I have seen what they do. As soon as you up the boost beyond 10psi, you are playing with fire. The pump can't handle pressures above 50psi very well at all.

Standard fuel rail pressure - 42psi + Boost (10psi) = 52psi.

As soon as this pump reaches 55psi - 60psi, the flow drops dramatically.

Have a look at the Blue line on this flow chart -

I picked up a brand new genuine Bosch 044 pump off ebay for $204.50 + delivery. Going to mount it externally in the boot and draw through the standard intank pump which my mechanic assures me is fine.

So are you saying my mechanic is a liar? personally I would take his word over some random on the internet - no offence :)

Does your mechanic deal with much performance stuff? When it comes to performance some mechanics dont know there arse from their elbow, all they know is servicing etc etc standard stuff.

Talk to a performance workshop or fuel systems shop. Theyll tell you the same thing.

He has a 10 sec RB30DETT powered VH that he built himself, does that qualify? I also went to school with him and he is a very close friend :)

I had the same thoughts as you when he first told me to mount it externally, he assures me it will be fine. Either way, he's putting it in so if it doesn't work he can redo it .

I dont understand why people insist on fitting fuel pumps in the boot, its illegal for a reason, people do die from cars catching on fire. Ever wonder why there isnt one car that is complied that has the fuel pump in the boot?

its because the mechanic is lazy...... simple as that.

My walbro one is already installed, so i cant check if there/where any numbers on the side. .

however on the box, it says..

10258

Walbro High Flow Intank P

<barcode> JE04

10258

So can anyone confirm which model i got?

cheers

Edit: found it:

Cool i got the HP version!! the GSS-342.

Hey champ,

16 is not really a good air/fuel ratio! in fact thats really really lean. I would suggest a fuel filter change, injector clean, and possibly a fuel pressure reg and DEFINATELY a fuel pump. There are a few around 040 bosch, walbro or nismo or gt0r pumps. it really depends what your power goal is. A re-map of your ecu or a piggyback fuel computer like a SAFC1/2 or a Neo will help harness those ponies.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
