Apexi BNR33 GTR fuel pump, where to get one?

[Rex-7]

Can someone help me out here please, been looking for one everywhere on the net but cant seem to find a vendor selling these in UK .......... The only place I found one was rx7store in the state, but having heard so many different people had trouble with them I'd rather leave them out.

Cheers

Yep Abbey probably best best , why the Apexi one if you dont mind me asking???

[Rex-7]

Im having my FD mapped soon, been asking around and thats the one rated by most. Will give those 2 a try.

Thanks

Envy dont do apexi pump Any link to DSA?

thanks again

[Rex-7]

Cheers, I'll give them a try on Monday.

The Nismo one which as far as i understand is highly rated is available from here its 280 l/ph same as the Apexi and HKS

The Apexi one is listed on the Whifbitz site as is the HKS

Thanks for that liner33
Will give them a try on Monday.
Another option I have is to run a 044 with a swir pot, but then this set up would cost around £400
Is there any difference between a R33 and R34 pump?

Cheers

a 34 pump wont fit a 33

Performance wise i think they are the same , probably slight wiring differences, i understand most come pre wired for the Nissan loom so they plug straight in.

Obviously not the 044 or Walbro as they are universal fitment

Do you have an idea of the l'ph you need or is it a case of going off reccomendation???

I need to upgrade mine from the stock GTR pump to a 280l/ph one when funds allow but they are sooo expensive

Nengun or Greenline might be cheaper if you arent in a rush or try Ebay worldwide

www.rhdjapan.com much better than nengun.

If you're looking for a UK supplier, try giving apex performance a bell www.apexperformance.co.uk.
Failing that RB motorsports, Abbey Motorsports, Rising sun performance, or any of the other skyline tuners will have no problem getting them normally.
I believe Thor-racing are an official apexi dealer too.

Personally I'd just go for a walbro, and fail to see the point in the jap tuner ones that command such inflated premiums, considering the only difference being that some of the jap ones are 280lph and the walbro's are 255 lph afaik. Or you could do what I'm doing with mine and look at some of the american offerings, with the dollar : pound exchange being so good lately it's hard to resist, and there's loads of good pumps over there provided you know what you're buying spec wise

Walbro pumps struggle to give 255 l/ph they need a voltage boost to even get close

[Stu R]

yep, at 3bar fuel pressure, they'll flow 210lph, at 60si they'll flow 255. Or you can bump the voltage to 13.5 apparantly, never tried nor wanted / needed to.
at 45psi / 3 bar they'll flow enough to maintain good fuelling on 550's at 1.2 bar of boost.
If that's not enough you're obviously going for big power, in which case a lift pump and swirl pot would probably be a better idea anyway. But considering you can buy them for 70 quid delivered from the states you can't really go wrong, even if you do have to buy two.

Stock GTR pump will support 550's at 1.2 bar , i'm running 740's at 1.2-1.4 bar plus nitrous but i dont think the guy wants advice on Skylines
