While we are on the topic of fuel pumps, who is running a GTR pump. I have been told that if you wire a GTR pump to get consant 14.5 volts. it can support up to 400RWKW is this correct? I had a walbro in my car and now l have a GTR pump wired

up in the mentioned configeration supporting well over 300RWKW.

400rwkw out of a GTR fuel pump? Sounds like a load of shit to me.

I got 300rwkw out of my walboro 255lph, BUT it wouldn't go below 12.8:1 afrs... I didn't mind because I run WMI.

I opened the injectors full on the power fc and the afr's didn't change.

So it would be safe to say that the walboro 255lph could only hold 250rwkw safely. Anything else and you're asking for a blown engine.

Anymore more than 14psi of boost is asking for trouble with them too. A lot of people are too ignorant to understand that boost has a heavy impact on the fuel pump that you are running cause boost is pushing back on the injectors..

I could be wrong but i think you would need an external set up to safely push 350 rwkw, especially if you are going to hit the track with it.

So you would need a surge tank, bosch 044 and use the pump already in the tank as a feeder.

Just my opinion though

Im not guna be hitting the track but I was hoping I didnt need to go external, I have spoken to a few people and everyone has had different opinoins so far which makes it even harder

Well Ill answer your question,

NO A WALBRO WILL NOT HANDLE 350+ RWKW..

NO A WALBRO WILL NOT HANDLE OVER 14PSI (I.E will no longer work at max capacity)

NO A WALBRO WILL NO SUIT YOU, YOUR OTHER OPTIONS ARE NISMO, TOMEI (they are the best options) YOUR OTHER OPTION IS A BOSCHE 040.

Nismo and Tomei drop in, Bosche 040 requires modifications.

(I got all this infomation from reading this thread, perhaps you should also do this.)

Well I cant see how a bosch 040 will handle that sort of power when the pump only flows 102l/h @ 6.5bar, maybe at least a bosch 044!

can people just understand that the xxxl\ph means nothing unless you look at the pressure against it?

For example -

205l/h at 70psi will flow more than a pump that does 255l/h at 40psi WHEN the pressure required is say, 60psi.

Im just preaching what people are saying..

14psi + 38psi fuel presure = 52psi .. was it not said that that pump was tested at 3bar? 14.2psi x3 = 42.6psi .. so 14psi is already higher than rated presure..

So your no longer running 255lph.. its still working but your running less fuel because of more presure.

Thats my understanding of it all, btw I cant remember what one bar is in PSI so its round about that.. I no its 14.2 or 14.7 isnt it?

risk vs cost i guess is important here

if you can save $300 but you find the AFR's drop off the face of the plannet at 5000rpm on full load, lean out city + rebuild time

then is it really worth the cost saving? why go all out on a psycho build only to skimp on something as important as fuel delivery

no fuel is fine, less fuel than expected is not however, thats when it leans out off the planet and rebuild light comes on

Im just preaching what people are saying..

14psi + 38psi fuel presure = 52psi .. was it not said that that pump was tested at 3bar? 14.2psi x3 = 42.6psi .. so 14psi is already higher than rated presure..

So your no longer running 255lph.. its still working but your running less fuel because of more presure.

Who says you NEED 255lph at 14 psi? You have a nice graph that Mafia posted on the previous page showing you the flow characteristics for the pump. You can work out that at 52psi pressure it's supplying approximately 204lph. The next step in claiming that the walbro outright can't handle 14 psi would be to work out how much fuel the RB25 needs.

From http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/FY...-Fl-t47081.html (you'd want to confirm this), the RB25 injectors flow 440cc/min at 52psi. 440cc/min = 26.4lph, for 6 cylinders that's 158.4lph. Less than 204lph if my maths is correct.

So please stop preaching rubbish.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
