I bought a Walbro GSS-342 to replace my stock fuel pump in my S1 R33.

Anyway long story short, I took the fuel pump out and the stock one is almost a twice the size than the walbro gss-342.

Whats the go? is my "stock pump" not stock?

The pump I pulled out is stamped with JECS as the brand and model #A42-T22 12V

Keymaker. That is definately the R33GTST standard pump.

Not sure on the walbro one but assuming it is the high-flowing pump (and genuine) it should be fine. A lot of decent tuners recommend them

I modified my stock filter that dangles off the stock pump to fit up nice on the new walbro one so it would suck past 1/4 tank. I suggest you do the same because I think you wont be able to tank full advantage of your fuel tank without doing it... Give it a good clean aswell before putting it back on.

Nah dude, it don't work like that! The pump sucks from the end of the pump/pipe that connects to the sock...not from the end of the sock, So you don't need the long sock on there to achieve same results!!! :D Better off with the new clean sock aswell...

I had one of these. Very quiet little pump. Beware though - This is NOT the high pressure version so don't try and run anymore more boost than 15psi and more than 250rwkw. The flow drops off dramatically after 60psi pump pressure. So 42psi skyline fuel rail, plus 12psi bost is fine, and under that limit.

I ran 300rwkw and 20psi of boost and realised the pump was not big enough for this. Did it for over 18 months though and had no problems or failures.

But these pumps are perfect for a stock turbo'd Skyline. Even one running 13psi and 210rwkw.

My thoughts exactly. It'd do me just fine. I wasn't planning on going for a bigger turbo than a highflow and I'm still on the stock turbo and probably pushing the regular 200rwkw or close too.

In saying that, would it be bad to boost a high flow turbs to 18psi with this pump?

Anyway I fitted up the pump this afternoon. It wasn't too hard to fit.

We just needed:

2 x female insulted terminals

2 x 25mm-50mm hose clamps

100mm of fuel hose to extend the hose to the pump and for rubber mounts under the clamps.

We plugged in a wideband after and found the afr's running a tad richer than the previous tune on the stock pump. So I might have to get the tune touched up a bit.

I also did not do the direct feed mod when installing this pump and just used the stock wiring. It has run fine under full acceleration .

The Mafia, you say this is not the High Pressure version. I've been reading around & everyone that sells the GSS342, and some that have flow tested them say they are a high pressure pump.

Is there another GSS342 "high pressure" pump available?

Cheers.

Here it is. Take note of the Blue line. The Standard Rail is 42psi, plus whatever boost. So if your running 18psi, you're risking it a bit.

I was running 20psi, and made 300rwkw lol. But the AFR's were at 12.7:1. That didn't matter though, as I run a water methanol injectoin.

My advice, don't run anymore than say 15psi - 16psi.

Youll be safe under that, good cheap reliable pump too.

Ah ok very interesting. Thanks for the flow/pressure chart.

I purchased this pump off slide here. He's advertised it as high pressure.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=183090

Can you tell if it is the high pressure version?

Maybe I should just ask slide.

I really don't know dude. There is a table somewhere that I have seen, and I'm pretty sure that it neesd to have "HP" in its model number.

I've seen a lot of these pumps being flogged off as high pressure ones.

You could say:

Standard max is about 250rwkw and 18psi of boost

High pressure one is about 350+rwkw and 24+psi of boost.

Just off the top of my head, don't quote me on that.

I'm not trying to run down Slide or anything either. These are just my observations from using these pumps. The Standard Walbro I got cost me $190. So for $160, it could be a standard one.

Na that's cool. It shouldn't really affect me though as I probably won't even get to 250rwkw. I'm trying to keep response to a maximum, and they don't get any more responsive than the stock turbo.

It's just good to know what I've got will handle at about 250rwkw, just in case. I'd just like to know which pump it is just for knowledge sake.

Cheers for the extra info man. It really helps to let me know whats possible and not possible :D

I'll shoot slide the question of which one it is :P

Well I've done a fair bit of reading. Its seems that the GSS342 is a High Pressure fuel pump. I can't find any information to state otherwise.

As advertised it is capable of 450-500hp. I'd assume that to be engine hp, not rwhp. So it calculates down to 373kw at the engine, so lets say its good for 340rwkw guestimate.

Other factors seem to come into it as well.

So in theory if I was too try and achieve my mythical 340rwkw, I would not be able to do it with just the gss342(and other supporting mods).

I'd have to up the voltage to the pump in order for it to flow more and have more pressure. Apparently the stock wiring to the fuel pump isn't capable of feeding the pump enough voltage, so the direct voltage feed mod to the wiring is necessary.

But that would mean the pump is running at full capacity all the time, and a fuel swirl pot would probably be needed to keep the fuel temps down.

Could this be the reason why some say walbro's are rubbish pumps and say they fail? Because they haven't upped the voltage feed to it to flow more? Or is it just the fact they didn't purchase the High Pressure pump?

The Mafia, did you do the direct feed mod or just keep the stock wiring when you had your pump fitted?

Someone please shoot me down if my reasoning is incorrect.

I have a R33 GTS-T series 2. I whacked a multimeter onto the pump and got 14 volts, so it was getting plenty. I've noticed the older Skylines have smaller wiring or its below standard.

Have you put a meter on yours?

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
