The fuel pump I've got is stuffed so I need to replace it, The engine is an RB30/25 thats being built fairly mild for primarily street use and the odd bit of auto cross. I've done some searches and found the 044 mentioned a bit here already.

opinions would be great before I hand over my hard earned cash.

FWIW I already have a 044 for my injected V8 just want the best option for this car.

Sorry I can't give more info about the power I'm chasing but since the build only just starting thats a hard one to sat atm. If I can get 400kw at the crank I'd be happy so a pump to supply that much hp will be fine.

haha, that other thread makes it even harder to make a clear decision. lol

The surge tank idea would be that way I'd go if the stock pump I had wasn't stuffed, I'm not against spending the money to get the right thing but I don't like the idea of spending a heap more than I need to either.

looking at what others have done and the modest power goals I have I think I'll probably go the bosch intank and be happy with that. Lets face it I'll have to have done a lot to the powerplant to make the 044 struggle to keep up.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
