odds r the hose clamp screw was rotated around in the "wrong" spot - if there is one

thats where mine are and it went straight in

I had mine installed for ages and got surging at half a tank. Thanks for the pic worked straight away and pump sat right Cheers

Just finished installing my 040. Damm that stupid air tight top cover. Bitch to take off and refit. Never want to do it again. Luckly I check for a click noise when i slid the cradle on. With my HKS exhaust. I can't even hear the pump wine. I like the wining noise it makes like external pumps. Going for a test drive now.

I used this tutorial to fit my walbro, pretty much the same procedure. The walbros are a fair bit smaller (width wise). I didn't cut the bottom c shaped bit off, instead used it to hold the bottom of the pump and wedged a steel nut between the bracket and pump then used the hose clamps to secure it.

Make sure you double check the o ring is sitting in place correctly before tightening the big plastic ring, silicon spray on the thread helps big time!

Cheers for the right up OP

the wiring didnt look too bad when i changed mine out and I just used the crimps that came with the kit, but jaycar sell "chemical resistant" heat shrink.

Hmm I seem to have into run into the issue of the pump not wanting to go into the fuel tank also. I have taken 2 photos for reference.

First up I am guessing everyone has this white thing (fuel level sensor?) or do they have something different?

And 2ndly is everyones space this tight? There seems absolutely no way to get the pump past the point in this picture. I have it mounted the same as in the tutorial possibly marginally lower but would be nearly negligible.

I am installing this in a series 2 r34 so unsure if there are differences or not gonna go back out there and keep trying maybe try lifting pump higher.

Alright got it in and it works so I guess the only advice I have to give is don't give up cause its not hard getting the bracket into the holder it's a lot harder to get the actual pump down where you need it. I am not sure how I got it but with a bunch of wiggling and my arm all the way down feeling to guide the pump it went in.

Definitetly a pain now I just hope nothing goes wrong that I have to check it again

Pulled my cradle with walbro out of my s1 and swapped with stock pump with cash my way with guy at work with s2.

Mounted 040 as per photos on here. Spent 2 hours adjusting twisting etc and I can garuantee it won't go in with hose clamps attached. Wedges into tank and sits 50-60mm from bottom. Not sure if s1/s2 brackets are different but don't think so.

Ended up extending hose 10mm from standard and put it in without clamps. Its wedges in hard between tank and bracket and is firmly held. Can barely squeeze a finger under it and is lower than walbro with sock.

Hey guys, just for reference, the post above IS correct in terms of the 044... My car ran 360.7kw and the pump was pretty much on its limit... It is in the tank and is dead quiet (a big surprise to me) and i couldnt be happier! For those running an R34 the fuel pressure gets a bit sketchy at that HP but there is a modification that can sort it out, the boys at JEM sorted mine out and safely ran it back to 357rwkw which is the final tune :yes:

I was a bit worried about fitting an 044 to my car for daily use, but now that its in and ive driven it i strongly recommend them :)

I seem to have an issue with fuel pressure loss when car sits for a while.

Do people usually install a 1 way valve to help hold pressure? Apparently the stock pumps have a 1 way valve built in? I will have to double check my fuel filter as I changed that but can almost guarantee there is no leak there

What I did to get around this problem was cut the brack and fit the pump right up top. I then annealed some copper pipe so that it was nice and soft ( about 400mm of it) flared 1 end of it with a tube flaring tool. using a Jic fitting on the bottom of the pump I then bent the tube by hand so that the fuel pickup is bassicly on the very bottom of the tank and about 150mm towards the front of the car.

The gain is that you can run the car almost dry before it will get fuel surge, the problem is that I don't run a fuel filter before the pump.

That sounds like a good idea. I am able to drive my car on the light for a while with the pump installed how it is but it scares me so won't let it ever get as low as I use to (when i was lazy about getting fuel or tight on money)

Try dropping it in without clamps like I did. It's locks up right at the bottom and mine was solid as a rock and 10mm from thd bottom

I tried for a good couple hours before removing clamps. Not sure if it was because I put a s2 bracket in my s1 but I doubt it. When I could get it in clamped about 50mm from bottom was as low as I could get it

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
