I finally got around to fitting my Deatschwerks DW301 fuel pump today. Very happy with how it went.

I followed Dunc's plagerised how to guide: http://www.m35stagea.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=259

Not fitting a Walbro, I wasn't sure what differences there would be. Physically, the DW301 looks the same size as the standard pump, just slightly longer in the body. You can follow the guide as Dunc describes, but a couple of notes:

  • Even though the DW301 looks the same size as the stock, you still have to shave the tabs on the bottom of the pump. You don't need to shave it completely, I think you can get away with cutting them half way.
  • You also still have to notch the base.
  • Highly recommend you replace the filter while you've got it all apart. I think mine was ~$30 trade from Main North Nissan.
  • I probably don't need to mention this, but obviously our fuel system has a return, so slightly different to that in the Walbro tutorial.

Very easy job in the end, and took less than an hour.

It is also not necessary to rewire the fuel pump to get the car to run, however I've run all the wires now so that's my next job (now that I know the pump works!).

I don't suppose anyone (Scotty?) knows which wires are which coming out of the fuel pump plug? I'm guessing fuel pump pos/neg and fuel level sender pos/neg, but which colour is which? Saves me fishing the multimeter out...

I'm just going to splice the new wires into the top , and run the standard little wires for 10cm out the top of the fuel pump assembly.

Hope that helps someone in the future!

I will look for the colors later mate.

The base for the pump will clip in fine if the tabs are trimmed right off. I just put the assembly in the vice and tighten it slowly. I have never had to modify the base. The DW300 is exactly the same as a Walbro on the outside.

That return line is a pain in the arse too. Did you replace the tank o ring?

Nope, didn't change any o rings. Seems to be fine?

Why did you put the assembly in the vice?

Never seen a Walbro - looks slightly different but I've never had both in my hands.

If you can get those colours that'd help heaps with the rewire.

With the extra flow of this pump, does it bump up line pressure at all?

What are you paying for one of these, and where's the best source?

Fuel pressure is the reg's department as Slippy said.

I can get these through my wholesaler if you want me to get a price. I think they were around $160 (the Walbro's sell for under $100). Just like the Walbro it will require new wires to be run to the battery through a relay and fuse.

The main o ring stretches with fuel contact which makes it hard to get back into the slot properly. I usually get a new one as I am replacing the oem filter anyway.

I put the pump housing in the vice to gently squeeze it back together. Don't modify the housing at all, there is no need, just ditch the rubber underneath.

The Walbro is just a different color, non anodised.

Wiring:

Black with a yellow line is Positive (black with a red line inside the tank)

Green with a red line is Negative (black inside the tank)

Yep pressure should be the same, but I've got a Turbosmart adjustable FPR on its way now.

I think I paid ~$160-180 for the DW on ebay delivered. Wasn't too bad. I was tossing up the Aeromotive too, I think it's the same size but flows an extra 40lph: http://aeromotiveinc...p-offset-inlet/

Checking the DW site they now rate the DW301 for 320lph, don't know if they've updated it.

Didn't realise the Walbros were so cheap now?

I ended up softing out and getting the DW hardwire kit too (http://www.deatschwe...mp-hardwire-kit) very nice and neat, and just easier.

Scotty, didn't have any problems getting the main o ring back in/on. All seems fine for now? I'll have another look later. Any value in replacing the in tank power connector with the Deatschwerks one? Seems to have heavier gauge wire, but you still have that crappy thin wire out the top of the tank.

I wouldn't worry about the FPR, it just makes it an illegal setup for no benefit unless you want to lower the pressures for high boost applications. (30psi or more)

If the cap clipped back in then you are fine, it just makes life easier for the extra $5 at Nissan and you usually have to go there for the filter anyway. I don't bother replacing the power connector, I think the DW one was thinner gauge...

Why would you lower base fuel pressure? I haven't heard of anyone ever lowering it, only upping it to stretch the injectors a tad.

On my SR I've unfortunately had to go a/market fpr as gone top feed instead of the side feeds. I think I got a bargain, turbosmart fpr800 with free gauge for $199 delivered.

Raising pressure lowers the pump's output flow, why would you want to do that? Seems to me you would be going backwards. Just get larger injectors, Aaron is getting ID2000's for his orangemobile btw.

I picked up the same one Paul, but managed to get it slightly cheaper.

Not sure they're illegal in SA, but having the gauge will be helpful. Then it just needs intake pipe and she's all ready to get the Fcon tuned!

but depending on the pump it can still out put more than enough at a higher pressure. Wont you run into injector flow problems if you lower it? The Bosch 1000cc is rated 1015cc at 43.5psi and a bit more at higher pressures, with a higher pressure of 7ba allowable, so you can run a stock base of 43.5 and still bang in up to 70psi of boost assuming your turbo can do that. if you lower your base pressure id imagine your also dropping the flow rate of the injector, why do that. I'm going to use the walbro 400+lph E85 approved pump and that will still flow 355lph at 70psi, more than enough supply.

I did consider 2000cc but if I decide to go back to 98 pump fuel it will need more work to get the afrs spot on as the injector will run at a really low duty cycle. I think my 1000s will get me to 300-320rwkw and seeing as the injector can run with more base pressure to a total of 7bar, I still have a little up my sleeve if needed. The SR block doesn't like too much more than low 300rwkw without starting to distort.

Dang, where and how much?

I just need to sort out the fittings needed to hook it up.

ISC Performance looked like they were doing an eBay clearance this week. One as an auction, the rest as "Buy it now" for $199. Ended up getting FPR and gauge for $166. Figured it was dodgy at that price until I saw who the seller was.

Seems like Craig and I think it was Alex? Worked out that the ECU didn't like large injectors running at low duty? Figure adjustable FPR lets me see what pressures I'm getting, and tune them if I need to, until I get to a point where I need the ID1000s. Seems to be working for Leon.

Yeah that's an awesome score at that price. I always think about bidding but most of the time they end going for the same. Nice work!

It does look like a clearance sale on some of the fear he is having. I wonder if now that most people have jumped ship to BC coilovers if he sells many of his ISC coils as I've seen them going out cheap also.

I am still very much of that opinion on injectors! Get what you really need IMO..... I'd love to drop back to about a 440 with mine....I recon it would drive heaps better in relation to the gearbox.

If you can't use the FCon to change the line pressure that the ECU tells the Trans to run (there is a table for it)- Get some injectors that you'll run somewhere between 75-90% duty cycle where you reach your goal.

To test what It would be like if you stuff it up, use really light throttle and change up a gear in manual, and see how long it takes to change.

    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
