Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Hey Paul, as discussed - I used to run 044 in tank, changed to Walbro 460 for e85. Nearly kept up with demand but was on the edge and needed surge tank for track. I considered a number of "big single" fuel pumps - but most American gear I looked at had "duty constraints". ie not to be run at full duty for more than X minutes..

also, mixed results on 'noise' depending on who you talk to. Have sat in a few cars with Aeromotive, Maganflow etc that all you could hear is fuel pump.

this is ok if its a track car only - but to me, even a track car with a quiet pump means you can hear 'other stuff' that you want to hear.. so if you can get performance AND have a quiet pump - then why wouldn't you. Considered speed controlling these and even bought a Fuelab to do just this but did not go ahead based on other factors.

I think there is something to be said for OEM manufacturers. Generally cheaper (replaceable easily), reliable, often quieter, less amps draw (sometimes).

Running e85, I wanted no 'corrosion' so surge tank had to be completely anodised throughout. There is anodising and there is anodising. You want Type 3 Hard anodising done if you get it done locally - this stands up best but it is not 'by default' what you get - you must ask for it.

All lines are Speedflow Series 200 Teflon lined. No corrosion and no smell.

I ended up running a radium surge tank which is well made, properly anodised throughout and holds 2x Walbro 460 e85 pumps. Could have fabbed our own but why reinvent the wheel when this was a good solution. I only switch the second pump on under high load, so it sees very little duty (so it should out last the main one). With e85, there is much less chance of engine damage if you lean it out... and remember a big single pump can still 'slow down' over its life, so the argument there is.... arguable. At least when #2 pump fails you know about it. A big single slowing could catch you out over time.

regarding lift pumps, people have mentioned you can use another Walbro 460 for that - BUT, check out their current draw. They draw big amps even with no load or pressure.. about 10A from memory. If you are at full noise with all three pumps going at 20A + 20A +10A you can be drawing 50A for fuel pumps! (admittedly only at certain times)... with all the other gear we're running and CDI/fans etc... you want to keep it down where you can

I use an e85 rate Pierburg Lift Pump which only draws about 2A and easily keeps the surge topped up.

End result is I have a fuel system that you cannot hear even if you put your ear to it. It is capable of well more than my cars puts down in HP.

Parts are easy to get locally for replacement. All pumps are submersed in fuel - which I also believe keeps them happier in terms of temp and environment. ......and the surge tank is pretty to look at. Bonus. :)

Sure - its one of the most bling things on my car actually. Normally its all about function and lightweight, but went a bit overboard with a CNC aluminium "shelf" to fit a lithium battery, the relays (hidden behind battery when installed), surge tank and holders for the canisters from the AST Suspension.

The surge tank can take up to 3x Walbro 460 e85.. I run just the two. Pierburg 2A Lift pump in tank.

Hater! :)

I have a Mangafuel Protuner 625 that doesn't need PWM and doesn't have runtime restrictions (I have done hundreds of KM's then done 1000m drag runs without issue) but it's a noisy f**ker. I'm constantly considering the same option as our male model friend here, twin Walbro 460 pumps. I had one in my last green car when they first came out, fantastic pumps and almost silent.

That setup is mint, Matty.

As I said on the phone today, i've bought one of those Holley dominator 1800 pumps. By all accounts it should satisfy everything that gets thrown at it.

Bit of an update.

I finally got the car home. Huge issues with injector baskets filling up with this super fine silt. Its small enough to get through the 23 micron filters I have post pumps. The baskets have been cleaned about 6 times, fuel filters twice. The intank pump was flogged so a Walbro 460 went in as a lift pump. Definitely a whole fuel system clean out is in order. I have a few large 6 micron fuel filters coming also.

The modified transfer case has settled the car down alot too. With the GT Pro in the rear set to medium, it was very taily. It feels much more planted, can get on the loud pedal earlier. Win win!

The tune has been relaxed also. Boost controller is turned off, 3 degrees of timing taken out and 6-7% more fuel across the entire map just to make it super safe with this fuel problem. It still went onto make 415rwkw. Did a comp test and its 190 psi across all 6 pots.

The box is great. Definately "woke" it up. The clutch is better than expected also.

What the intank sock looked like.

Dang. You make me think dumping this old wore-out box on the curb and getting a fresher, younger, but more expensive box that may let me thrash it more before complaining.

Wait...we aren't talking about wives?

For shits and giggles I took a video of the warm idle just before the compression test. On E85 you would hardly know it has cams in it.

A bit of box action. 415 KW, 19 PSI, super relaxed tune.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
