Deatschwerks Pumps In 32R

[ZED X]

Hi Guys,

Looking for some input.

I'm looking for a replacement pump for my 32R (standard 180k/km pump) and I'd prefer to avoid GTR tax on this one. Trying to find an alternative to the "Standard" replacement option being a Nismo/Tomei etc. I was considering a Walbro but ive had some pretty poor experiences with these in the past. Like to avoid this route if possible.

Originally i was going to opt for an 044 and just modify the existing cradle (i dont have a problem doing this) however after hearing how loud these are in person, im looking for an alternative.

I've seen Deatschwerks have a fairly substantial range, appears a ton of guys in the UK use these. However as ill only be pushing for ~300awkw at this stage i dont require 320LPH that the DX300 can support. However i would like some additional headroom for "future" fun.. fund permitting. The upper ceeling with my current setup is limiting me to ~300>320awkw anyway.

Was looking at a DX62A:

Does anyone have any experiences with these in a 32/33GTR? Seems from most of the experiences im reading is that these pumps are fairly highly regarded. Seem to operate fairly quietly and are significantly smaller then the standard pumps. Any information you guys can provide would be great. However ideally im seeking personal experiences here not the "my mates brothers dog has a gtr and runs one and its great"

Also wanting to confirm that these will pull from an empty tank. I've read mounting these slightly lower on the standard cradle seems to work quite well.

For reference my current setup is as follows:

1993 R32 GTR

unopened/standard head

GT2860-7

680CC Delphi Injectors

RS260 dumps to a 3.5" Exhaust

Standard FPR

This is a 100% Street driven GTR.

Cheers,

Carlo

A lot of people don't seem to trust the Walbros for some reason. They're pretty good if you aren't pushing huge amounts of boost. Anyway I'm sure the DW pump will be fine or you could look at an aeromotive stealth 340L/h pump which seem to do a bit better than the walbro 255's at higher boost.

good luck

I have no problems running my Walbro 255's at 70-80psi. As long as you buy original Walbro's they are fine, and last longer than DW pumps in Ethanol, that's for sure.

Best bet is the E85 460L Walbro for $200, or the petrol version for around $150.

044's are dinosaur pumps, loud and obnoxious. They also don't like ethanol.

Hm thanks guys food for thought

Thanks Scott, I guess after some poor experiences with Walbro pumps i'm sold on anything but.
