Fuel Pump Upgrade For Gts-t

[eddieeeee-ro]

hey guys, just about to purchase a new fuel pump for my car, confused in which is the best option for me?

can i put a bosch 044 pump in the car? or does it need to be a 040...?

Hey

You can use an original WALBRO pump, they are about $160 delivered from SLIDE in the for sale trader section.

BOSCH 040 I believe is the one your chasing, that is also a good option.

Personally would go for an original WALBRO as they are very reliable pumps. Few people pushing 300rwkw with them, as well as being very easy to install!

Its been covered heaps on the forums. Check the DIY/tutorial section and you will find and installation guide more than likely, also search the forced induction section for like "what fuel pump" and you should get a lot of results.

Good luck.

You can use either, the 040 has a filter built in and has to be mounted low, the 044 uses the standard sock filter and hose. If your r33 is stock you don't need either, if it's making 220rwkW - 280rwkW use the 040, if it's making 280rwkW - 400rwkW use 044.

I've just bought a new Walbro fuel pump from Slide, should be here on Monday.

I opted for the Walbro because I'm only aiming for around 200rwkw.

Dont skimp on you fuel pump choice,go Nismo or Tomei,they are direct fit,and will easily cater to your power goal.

atm i'm making 180atw

but aimming for around 220-240

so i guess the walbro would be ok for this target?

cheers guys

[tek_01]

yes it will be ok for that target but not much more

if your dead set you dont want no more than get the walbro/040 but MAKE SURE you dont want to go more because you will end up buying twice like alot of people

if i were to do it again, id spend the extra $250 and get a nismo/tomei from the start (ill have to do this when i change the turbo)

TOMEI or a NISMO?

Man if you got the cash to spend $500 on a fuel pump then go ahead.. but a WALBRO pump for $160 delivered will serve you the EXACT same purpose.

There is a guy with an R33 which is running 300rwkw on a WALBRO pump.

theres been alot of people that have had problems with walbros running lean as they get higher up

sure they should handle up to about 300kw but usually they dont

i have one and its fine but im only running 200kw..

anyhow its just what i have read from others exprience so dont take my word for it

[adgey]

I'd go with NYTSKY and suggest the TOMEI. Excellent product and you get what you pay for... peace of mine

[R33GOD]

i have a tomei pump and man. there fantastic. and easy to install

you'll always want more power so dont limit yourself

good luck on your decesion

[Baconer]

Would there be any problem with running a Tomei pump on a stock (with turbo back exhaust) R33 GTST. Would it run unnecessarily rich or does it only pump what is required?

[Sambo33]

i went with the 040 for mine, but i dont plan on running any higher than 250rwkw

[fresh]

there is a fuel pump control module (FPCM) which regulates between a low and high volume mode, other then that it just pumps either of the 2 modes, that being said in your engine bay is a fuel pressure regulator (FPR) which regulates the pressure of the flow into the fuel rail meaning that the pump just pumps at its one speed all the time and the FPR regulate it for you.

that why these guys are saying it doesn't matter which pump you go far, if the WALBRO is leaning out up top its because it pumping at maximum pressure / volume and simply cannot supply more fuel.

the FPR cannot up the pressure provided by the fuel pump merely reduce and regulate it

You wont have any problem at all, it'll run fine (fuel reg will regulate pressure).

After much research and pondering what pump I should install (040, 044, Walbro 255, Tomei kit etc) I came to the conclusion that the Tomei kit (has everything you need including new seal, clamps, harness, wiring etc) is well worth the $360 advertised in the classifieds of this forum. It was a easy direct install with no modifications.

Nismo or HKS or tommi

[sam5709]

nismo pump FTW

reliable, direct bolt in, minimal noise
