Just a bit of a hijack.

Ive got an rb30det in a 180sx. Its got a 500Hp walbro intank fuel pump in it. Its just at a workshop at the moment getting bigger injectors and a link g3 installed. ( i think they are evo injectors they have sorced). Before it gets put on the dyno, do i tell them i dont want it to run anymore then 14psi? The fuel line pressures that have been mentioned, are these the same through all turbo nissan motors? I wasnt aware how boost affected fuel line pressure.

...What they do is wire relays to bring the second pump online in times of high demand . The downside is what if the wiring/relay failed and the secondaryt didn't start ? Bang ?

More info/pics would be interesting!

Though... just as the factory ECU's on R32's trigger a soft earth for the f.pump; lower flow at idle, the dual "trigger extra pump when needed" Iv seen before. Tru, full load and the pump (for what ever reason) doesnt kick in... boom (ok ok, a cheap closed loop fail safe could be made)

The wider picture though, contains the fact that your using two fuel pumps to provide the vital injector head pressure. In reality if the second pump in a "both always on" situation EVER fails, you could lean out and det a motor, where a single pump should drop pressure more rappidly.

Correct, there are many items in even a stock car, could fail could kill a motor, partially stuck injector, manufacturing dag falls off an oil filter and goes through motor etc etc, but it still plays on my mind.

A single unit that does the job becomes tempting...

Really, even if your pump does drop pressure past 14psi, your tuner could most likely, beef up the cells that are hit in those more loaded conditions.

If you weren't aware that boost pressure effects fuel pressure, i would strongly recommend talking over with your tuner about pumps and what you know about Walbro's.

My opinions only.

Also sort off ..... related .

I think I did read somewhere that the GTR's multi voltage fuel pump powering device works at different voltages (lower in low ?) than a GTST . I fitted an R33 GTR pump to my S2 R33 GTST and it is a little louder though nothing to cry about .

I'd like to now how many voltage steps the GTR switched resistor thing does and how they differ to other Nissans , I just wonder if the GTR's gadget may help people with big pumps in street GTST's .

I was told about a mod to the Walbro that some used to do to get more out of them , its dangerous and illegal and I don't want blood on my hands .

I think the bottom line pump wise is use an adequately sized one for your power goal and not go over the top because it just creates avoidable problems .

All of the R32/33/34's I have tested have 2 voltages for the fuel pump, one around 9 volts and the other 13.8 volts. I haven't spent a lot of time on it but what I have observed is 9 volts at idle, although it seems to be anytime the ECU is running closed loop via the standard (slow and narrow) lambda sensor. Which is logical when you think about it.

Theres a person or two on SAU who's used a Jaycar kit off the AFM signal in his GTST. He's set up the unit to switch the larger pumps earth, through a resister when at low AFM signal output. I think he said it had strong effects on the fuel temperature.

Something like this i would assume, Jaycar kit KC5377

It's a matter of cutting the bottom plate off the stock bracket (normal wire cutters will do it), putting 2 clamps on to hold the walbro and using 2 crimp connectors to connect the wires. I'm not exaggerating how easy it was.

So the Walbro pump does require modifying. I was under the impression nothing needs to be cut, just electrical side of things. And i hve also recently found that the stock R32 pump is almost twice the size of the Walbro, so it wont drop straight in. Is there any tuts to show how it actually fits?

Gary, I tested my Powerfc a while ago and I am 90% sure they do away with the stepped voltage setup and run 14 volts full time.

Can you confirm this?

Mafia,

Whats your nismo part number for your intank ? 17042-RRS41 ? Nismo website lists this pump for R33 GTST, so does slide on this site.

Now i went looking for info as i prefer to check all claims myself as a due diligence thing, and going by the nismo website themselves, there pump chart lists the GTST pump as 4.1 Lpm @ 3Kg/Cm ( 246Lph @ 42.7Psi)

There GTR pumps are still only rated at 42.7psi , abeilt at your mentioned 276 Lph.

So my questions to you are, what part number did you use, where did you get the high pressure rating you mention ( 70Psi) at there 276 lph flow ? Have you seen a flow curve for these pumps you can point me to ?

Gary

    • 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?  😛
