Yea, if you put the two pumps side by side, its difficult to tell them apart.

The GSS342HP is the 255lph high pressure version. They sell the GSS342 255lph pump as well which isnt high pressure.

The most difficult part about the install was slipping the hose on the pump and then onto the filter because the hose was cold and didnt want to stretch much.

 

silicon spray helps too for those tight hookups

 

i had the same problem the first time. the second time it was a breeze

 

your car is sicK!!!!!!!!! You remind me of jptl, a big DIY'er with some tasty mods.

 

Thanks man

These came in over a week ago, and I was waiting to post pics until I got my new wheels and installed these, but since E30 posted his I might as well bring mine to show and tell too



These were in the BM for quite a while. I didnt want them originally because of the blue, but they were the only set I could find. And its powdercoat, not paint

The blue in his pictures made it look lighter, but the blue is actually quite dark in person, so Im leaving them as-is. I cant wait to mount them along with my Russell SS lines and EBC Red Stuff pads.

 

Heres what I see from my seating position:



I will be getting rid of that boost gauge and getting a matching AEM digital boost gauge, so the pod will be modded and they will both sit at the same height.

 

teh calipers are 4 piston right?

 

Yessir, off an RL.

 

Well the issue is definately the FPR. I swapped it out with another one I had and it held pressure, until one of the gaskets on it blew

Its pouring out and cold, so I wasnt messing with it any more. I plan on working on it tomorrow morning.

 

New wheels????

 

Should read "get my new wheels"

But yes, I will be getting new wheels

 

Do you have to get larger rotors for those calipers with that custom bracket you made?

 

check out e30 rl caliper thread. all info is their.

 

Yes, Im running 350Z Nismo rotors, its the one with Brembo brakes stock.

 

are they a direct bolt-on?

 

yup, but u need those calipers and caliper brackets

 

oh i see

 

Here is the thread I posted on the Calipers:

...hey, thats me!!!!! Hahahaha.. thanks again for the swap! Sick build.. looks like Tom (Rajca) got some competition for being a true hp junky..

 

na, no competition here. hes doing his thing to have a nice dd, im doing my thing to have a hella fast street car that i drive on teh weekends and at the track.

 

Yup! Thanks for the swap! I love them.

Well, lets not jump to conclusions. I want to explore the limits of the chassis. If it can handle more power, it will get more power

 

^im with u on that one ( no homo)

 

^What gasket blew????

 

There was a seal on the FPR, the unused port. The car ran perfectly for about a minute then fuel started spraying from the seal. Its one of those O-rings.

I havent been able to work on the car since last Friday since Im on vacation, and I wont be back until next week.

Would you reccomend using some sort of sealant on it? I was thinking about using thread tape but I dont know if it will work with fuel.

 

it its a o ring type fitting use an o ring. if its pipe then use some of that paste or teflon tape. not sure how teflon tape works with fuel.

 

I'm interested in knowing what kind of wheels you are getting. I am feeling you build, seems like you are covering all the bases! can you pm me where you got that gauge pod?

 

I think I posted the info on the first page, but Ill send you a PM.

 

ummm..... is it missing it's crush washer (think oil pan drain plug)
or is it a tapered plug and just needs to be tightened up some to stop the leak
also if it is an o-ring, make sure it has not been cut, twisted/rolled or anything, which can cause leaks

and i have never seen a manufacture use teflon on a fuel line fitting, so i don't know how well it would last

 

It had an O-ring on it, it was just a block off bolt for one of the ports. There were no crush washers, just the O-ring.

Ill try to find some O-rings that fit.

 

then replace the o-ring already and make sure it is compatiable with fuel also or you will be replacing it again

also look into the port to make sure there are no shap edges or burrs that could potentially cut the o-ring, and that the sealing surface is smooth too

 

Try to use a aluminum crush washer from a oil drain bolt.....

Or if you want to stop by here on your way back I have another FPR here, just send me the failed one so I can rebuild it.

 

I think the bolt is bigger then the crush washers that I have, but Ill take a look when I get back home.

I flew out of Richmond, so stopping by your place is a bit out of the way

 

Just a quick question, why the baby break-in?

My engine shop told me to drive it like I normally do. They actually reccomended NOT babying it, as getting it up to temp quickly and putting some load on the engine would help seat the rings better.

BTW nice build.

 

Im just doing as I was told by the man that built it. Hes done alot of builds, so Im going to listen to him.

I hate being on vacation, I havent touched my car in over a week

 

and u have to break in the new clutch.

 

^ Yup, and another member had a problem with this clutch, so Im making sure I break it in properly.

 

Can't wait to see what numbers you put down... Would be nice seeig you supercharge that thing

 

As Rajca would say, "My car doesnt whine"

 

it blows!

 

Lol whatS wrong with a little whine?
