Nismo Fuel Pump Question

[MR R34]

Hey,

Im looking at replacing my standard fuel pump in my R34 GTT and was wondering as to how good the nismo pump was? When installing, is it a direct fit without absolutely any modifications needed, for example is there any need to modify the cradle?

Also which is considered better by people the nismo or the tomei?

Cheers...

Nismo FTW. No mods required

+1 for nismo, i mean on my 33 all i had to do was pull the whole stock pump out and replace it with the nismo one, no mucking around

while looking at nismo and tomei, they are both direct fit/replace but i like nismo more

[jeffworld2]

i could install one in my sleep. tomei are exactly the same.

Just bought a Tomei

and going to fit on weekend

looks pretty straightforward

I installed a Nismo in mine, took about 30 seconds.

Comes on a Nissan Factory OEM rail and plugs hoses etc.

[MR R34]

Is it a worthwhile install if im looking to reach the 230rwkw mark?

[DECIM8]

Yes to above, and i believe HKS is also a direct fit with 33 and 34 models.. my mate has one in his 33.. puts out 191 on stock boost (rwkw) so flows pretty well

[Haines]

well just did it then

yeah take no time at all (30mins - 1hr)

the extra 100 bucks is way worth it rather then stuff around trying to modify things

[MR R34]

but is it worth my while or pretty much necessary to change to fuel pump from the stock one if im looking for the 230-240rwkw?

You already got a yes to that question

So YES, get it

Reason 1) your oldie might just make it but that's not good enough for a performance vehicale, should be able to do what you want with ease which the Tomei/Nismo will

Reason 2) The oldie might be nearly dead, Get a tune, all good then 2 weeks later, lean out and bang!

The Tomie and Nismo should be the exact same part nunmbers from whatI've heard and the Tomei is prolly $50 cheaper so just go for that.....

But of course, the choice is yours

Oh, and in case you're going to ask.....You will NOT need an aftermarket Fuel Pressure Regulater..Period

I spoke to both CRD and C&V today and they both said get the pump but make sure u get the regulator also cause u got stock injectors???

[DECIM8]

a fuel reg is only to max out your injectors .. its useless on a stock turbo .. if your using a aftermarket turbo or high flow with stock injectors (not advised) then you'll need a fuel reg

[jeffworld2]

tomei pumps come with nismo branded fittings in their little nismo bags.. they are no different whatsoever

[Birnie]

Well they come with the Nissan bags etc...you were close though

Oh, ok i think i get you now

You want the 240rwkws without upgrading the injectors?

In that case, get the FPR

[Marco-R34GTT]

so your saying if you do uprage injectors, then you don't have to worry about FPR? FPR maxes out injector capacity yeah?

[Birnie]

That's right, if you upgrade the injectors, don't worry about the FPR

[MR R34]

Yeh think ill get the nismo pump haven't heard nothing bad at all about them on the forums, ill get the nismo fuel reg also, but what do you guys think about Z32 AFM???

[Birnie]

You'll be border line at 230rwkws so just get one.

But the tuner can still tune it with what's he's got even if maxed out, just means your not at full potental.

[MR R34]

So i would be able to push more kws with the AFM???
