Aiming for 250-280rwkw in a R33 gtst. (currently got around 200rwkw)

Will the R32 GTR fuel pump be good enough for this goal?

Is $125 a good price for a 2nd hand one?

thnx.

Currently have 265 rwkw using GTR pump, so should be OK.

Ok price:cheers:

at what point on a gts-t will the fuel pump need to be upgraded, and from there the injectors and regulator ???

i was wondering the same thing actually...benm said they are good for 300bhp or approx 180rwkw when this thread was started way back in the day...

i originally thought it was closer to 200rwkw or thereabouts many go over 180rwkw with the stock gtst pump and still get enough fuel...Could people with experience in this matter please confirm for me as currently with the 180rwkw fuel pump limit it means i will be close to or on the limit next week when it gets tuned for some more power. Just wondering if i should start thinking new fuel pump??

There is no absolute answer, it's not like a light switch, OK at 180 rwkw and not OK at 181 rwkw. It depends on soooooo many factors, how clean is the fuel filter, what voltage is the fuel pump seeing (do you have a big stereo that sucks power and lowers the voltage), have you improved the efficiency (cams for example) that mean you get more power out of each molecule of fuel, how good is the ring to bore seal, are the injectors clean )hows there spray pattern), how efficient is the turbo, the intercooler, the exhaust etc etc

So some people get 200 rwkw and some don't, and that's as good an answer as I can give:cheers:

Hi gtsii

I recently purchased a 044 for $360 brand new COD from an advertiser in these forums.

We installed it intank which was a bugger of a job - if I did it again I'd seriously consider mounting it externally - so much easier but I'm unsure on the legalities.

Make sure you install the check valve also as we didn't and it takes two clicks of the key to prime the fuel system enough to start in the morning.

It's nice and quiet though - certainly worth doing the job once and properly. Petrol stinks.

Good luck!

Glen

same reason i like the gtr pumps, straight fit and are quieter than the bosch's.  

You can get them second hand or there's a place in Vic which sells them brand new for $440 each. I'm getting one and I think if we were to get them together we might be able to get them cheaper.

pm me if interested! :)

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
