Looks like Gregs shipment for the month has arrived

looks like she's in desperate need of a final inspection detail Pat

What pump are you running that the stock fuel pump wiring wasn't doing the job? Is the RB20 wiring different to the RB25?

Swedish penis pump by the looks of it

Walbro 460Ltr - need to wire in the direct 12v with relay thingo. The standard fuel pump control module couldn't provide enough current.

I spose the fact that this has only been documented on SAU 11ty billion times and not 11ty billion and 1 explains why you didn't just do it properly the first time

Never had to do this mod with the 040, though I've read about people doing it.

[Rekin]

Have an adjustable fpr which assumed would have kept pressure.

 

Unfortunately with these walbro pumps they draw a lot of current which the standard fpcm can't handle.

 

[Leroy Peterson]

I'm surprised it limits the current available... Usually things draw whatever current they want but melt or destroy whatever it is its going through (if not rated for the task)

[UNR33L]

Pretty sure my brother went through 2 or 3 040's and changed to Walbro with no such issue? dunno. e85 lyf.

Pat gotta feel good driving it again I'm guessing, must be an animal with an RB25 in it now.

The 465's will mangle the stock wiring, almost need to just direct wire it and bypass all the nissan stuff.

Used about 185L of fuel to get to Winton and do a track day and get back. The auto is not 'that bad' at cruising, maybe 400L for a tank but driving around town with my 5 minute commute to work just annihilates fuel. I drive like a grandpa so I am almost always in the converter (i.e under 3k rpm)

Couldn't run more than 10psi of boost due to wild breakdown of spark, and rotors ended up looking like the below, (yeah the vanes are supposed to go much further...) but had a great time for first time out at Winton

[UNR33L]

are they slots worn down completely?  

[Kinkstaah]

Well not so much worn down as worn completely through and past where they would normally stop.. other rotor looked much the same. Only noticed due to the sound of grinding on the drive home lol.

Would recommend, mainly because you know they won't fall apart under normal circumstances!

[Leroy Peterson]

2 piece rotors, eh? D2/ATTKD Big brake kit?

[UNR33L]

Speaking of brakes, checked out the 2018 STI over the weekend at the dealership, was froffin at the mouth when I saw the new for 2018 model's bright green 6 pot brembos, looked so good against the WR blue colour.

The fuel pump resistor was burning hot. We bypassed it but still can't provide enough current.

I'm running in new engine below 4000rpm so no massive draw on fuel pump atm

Effortless power in the Neo rb25. Can't wait to dial in 25psi

[Leroy Peterson]

RB20 4 lyf.

Where's moh? He must be the last one left.

He got rid of his rb20 long ago. I was the last to drop the rb20. RIP

[Leroy Peterson]

But with all the problems he's had with the 26's I'm sure he longs for a 20 again.
