wondering how much the R33 stock fuel pump can push, ive herd guys just upgrading em after 200 rwkw but then guys that are making 250 kw with stock pumps.

whats the story,all my previous cars have had aftermarket fuel pumps.

yeah its not an exact "this is max limit" but its not worth the risk if its going to lean out or risking it given the price to upgrade is cheap too. i also had starting problems with my stock pump but the new one has fixed that

Hmmm well i've got a 620hp GT35/40R going on soon, i will have to upgrade the injectors and the fuel pump as well. Seems the more money ya spend on ya car, the more money you have to spend to keep it working right......hehe

And if you want use the full power of that turbo you will have to replace alot more things that fuel pump and injectors :uh-huh:

No point 'upgrading' to a GTR fuel pump which is generally just as old. Might as well spend the same or a little extra and get a brand new bosch.

In my old GTS-t I had a brand new Bosch 040 supplied/fitted for $350 and that was 18mths ago.

INASNT: trust me, i've got a lot of parts just sitting here waiting to go on ;)

Benm: Yeah have been looking at the 040 and the 044. Seeing as the more i take this car past standard the more it might just be a track car. So no real point in doing an in tank pump.

040 are designed to be intank.

I thought the only differance btw 044 and 040 was 044=external and 040=internal.

Just some advise, something learnt by experience. Buy the 040, build a surge tank a little bigger, and mount the 040 inside the surge tank. This will help reduce the noise from the pump (and trust me a 044/040 is bloody noisy), you can then put as much sound damping material, as you prefer, all over the surge tank to reduce the noise even more. Fuel will also act as a coolant for the pump. With a 044 (external) you are unable to dampen the noise as you run a risk of overheating the pump (so i have been told).

I unfortunately just have to live with it, but i honesty am not bothered by the noise, my mates on the other hand can't get over it, and keep biatching.

Gee ur making me think hard now (new owner has had it for about 3mths).

R33 GTS-t, 198rwkw, 3" full nismo exhaust (pretty quiet compared to most GTS-t's), std turbo, std ecu, fmic, k&n, ex cam gear.

I will get the Fuel pump when I get the PFC tuned.

As far as injectors go, ive spoken to many a performance shop, and said the RB25s injectors seem to be at there max at about 250-260 rwkw.

yer, i was going to ask what do standard injectors max out at?

ive got a powerfc coming and im going to order a 040 fuel pump as well when driftking gets more in

wondering if stock injectors will be ok for stock turbo ?

    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
