I run a bosche 023 largest in tank puppy available and nice a easy to install, i have also heard alot of bad things about walbro pumps

I had one of these after my GTR pump ran out of flow! Pretty good and i didnt find it that noisy?? How was yours for noise?

Just outta curiosity, does anyone know the flow rate of a stock gtst and gtr pump??

lookin at doin the fuel pump soon to, found a 040 for $106 is that bout right price??

is it just as simple as pull one out slide one in?? or does some attatching hardware need "adjusting"

revival, lol. i run a walbro gss 341 on my xr6 turbo ute. 500hp at the wheels. been runnin for 2 years and no probs at all. ill get an 023 for my 32 tho. i think some of the walbro pumps fail because of the filter pillow not being correctly installed. i plastic welded mine all round so no crap can get in.

When looking at buying a fuel pump for your vehicle, look at the flow rate not the horse power "rating".

The horse power rating on a fuel pump is what Ive tested is a load of s.........

Bosch 040 in-tank is a open base in-tank pump flowing 102 Liters of fuel per hour = 1.7Liter per minute. (genuine, its in there test book)

Now this is at 6.5 bar of fuel pressure, keep in mind your pressure at idle should be around 2 bar.

You need 600cc of fuel to support 100 hp at the crank per minute. Now do the maths from there, this is science and you cannot re-write it.

The walbo pump is 255 Liters per hour flowing 4.25 Liters per minute @ 3 bar.

The walbro is a much better/bigger pump for your modern day skyline, they are even better when used to fill a surge tank with an external pump on the other end.

What most of you forget that some pumps are great for a 10-15 second power run on a dyno machine. (the old story goes..... my mates skyline made 360hp on a stock 040 pump, blah blah blah)

It properly did old mate, (AFR were properly @ 13.1.1 to) but then old mate took it out on the st, he went 1st gear, 2nd, 3rd, but in 4th gear it was missing and not running right.

This is what "we call" G-force over flow rate, engine leans out and dies.

It is very important you seek the right advice when setting up your fuel system, speck to the performance people, shops and suppliers, the right suppliers will Gide you with the best setup for your application.

Keep in mind, the higher the pressure, the lower the flow.

A nice bit of solid reading there :down: , With readings etc no bs nice work . Any one gone into more depth studying with these certain pumps with GOOD Fuel pressure regs etc . Im thinking 040, i was listing to a 044 the other day and it noisy. I also know it has to do with the correct mounting in the cradle which does help harmonic noise from fuel pump' it was mentioned before about the fuel resistant hose to help insulate. Some of you boys have nice pumps already. Try insulating them and reposition them and let us no how you pump sound is. I only have a GTST pump " i only hear it prime.

I run a Carter Gold Lifter pump, 2.5Lt Surge, 2xBosch 044's. This system hasn't failed me going on 2 years...about as old as this thread.

Ideally you want a low pressure lifter pump like the Carter Gold to fill your surge rather than having a high pressure pump like an 040/023 run constantly.

or keep the stock pump as a lift pump

at low pressure the stock pump is gonna flow a heap more

but swirl pots are totally different to just running a bigger in tank pump

You could do that but some of these cars (R32) are over 20 years old, i'd rather fork out the $180~ or so for a brand new lifter pump when running a surge tank setup.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
