Fuel Pump

[Sammy34]

So im getting a fuel pump and regulator installed on my car. Just need to decide which one im getting, I've had an extensive chat with Mark at godzilla motorsports and have been told that the bosch fuel pumps are quite noisy, the walbaros have a bit of screwing around install wise to get them to fit and that in his opinion the smart way to go would be with a Tomei. There a straight bolt on, little noise but are quite pricey.

Anyone got any other suggestions, or any knowledge from personal experiance that would help?

Cars a R34 GTT btw.

Cheers

Sammy

there isn't that much mucking around to fit a walbro considering the price difference. I have fitted several of these pm me if u want it fitted. also be careful wat reg u get as there are several that are unreliable

i fitted my walbro with a mate, who helped out coz he has done one before and we had to modify the bottom rubber to make it fit but that didnt take too long, it was pretty much a straight fit besides that. i have never fitted one before and it only took me about 1 hour, having never done it before. wasnt too hard at all.

personally i'd rather go a bosch, but depends on what you want out of the car.If you want just manily bolt on and say 260kw, then go a walbro, if you want more go a bosch, but once again just my opinon and from experience.Id rather have more leeway and more fuel then not enough.Also why other with a fuel reg unless you run big boost and bigger turbo, plus then alot of other high HP cars that i see are still running there original fuel reg.

Ah ok very cool. Well Im having an emanage ultimate installed at teh same time so I think I will just have the pump installed by godzilla at the same time. But from what I was told I just gathered there was alot more screwing around involved with the walbaro as appose to the tomei but apparently not...

as for the regulator. its for future modifications, Id rather have it installed when im doing the Fuel pump and computer than later on when im having the turbo and injectors installed.

[Sammy34]

Oh yeh, as for the Fuel Regulator I believe its Turbosmart TREG. Godzilla just got new stock in and recommended it as quite a good fuel regulator.

well have a look in the d.i.y section and there is a fuel pump tutorial in there i followed this when installing just as a measure.

Make sure you do something with the intank reg as well, it's a crappy piece of violet plastic inline with the hose, they're not so great. If you can get one from a GTR they're better. Even an R34 GTR fuel reg on the rail is a straight swap

I reccomend the Nismo pump high flow rate and easy to install comes with everthing down to the mounting bracket. Contact Dan from Elite racing he will hook you up.

+ 1 for either the Tomei or Nismo items, i went through the same thing you are going through and decided to bite the bullet and i am glad i did, no noise except when priming for a second, even then it is not bad at all. Your call though i cant comment on the bosch or walbro pumps but i can give a massive thumbs up for the Tomei and Nismo pumps, IMHO definatly worth the $$$.

[r33cruiser]

INCORRECT.

recently installed a walbro into a mates r34 gtt. kit came with a new harness, plug, and pickup filter.

now bosch, i had to mess around with that to install it.

bosch FTW

+1 for the tomei/nismo

Quiet and has good pickup right down to near empty. Good flow rate to and easy to install

have heard nothing but bad things from a mate with a walbro in his 32 4 door and have limited experience with the bosch. Hear its noisey and has a bad pickup

I've got a Walbro in tank and a bosch 044 after the surge tank. The bosch is quite until you start driving hard then it starts to make a heap of noise like a buzz saw cutting wood. It goes back quite again once all has cooled down. First time I heard it I thought the pump was faulty but the second one does the same thing.

Make sure you have a good gaws on the in tank pump as well.

have a walbro. has performed faultlessly so far, but i only have 220rwkw

[foney]

went sard on my GTR, bolted stright up and no messing around. And a good price as well :-)

I had that pump on my old R32 worked well for me at a shade over 300rwkw

[Col-GTSX]

I had an 040 mounted in take by modifying the standard bracket...

She ran 332rwkw all day every day, and I could only just hear i when the key was turned on...

Once the egine was started you couldnt hear shit...

All good advice here- I am runnin a walbro 255 rated at the mo and have no issues with it at all.

little bit of a buzz-not a prob there but-will flatten battery if ignition is on really quickly

I have also got a nismo one in the cupboard just in case, when this one craps itself that is goin in muahahahaha
