Just left barbershop and car won't stay on it starts then dies. I look for a vacuum leak. I'm thinking its fuel issue but it start kinda

 

sounds like maybe the fuel pump is on its way out, get a fuel pressure gauge and see what its reading. beforehand, you can check spark

if you give it a bit of throttle does it keep running?

 

At full throttle doesn't make a difference

 

I change the fuel pump and it started. Thanks for the help

 

yeah thought so

 

What I did was uninstall the old fuel pump and plug in just the positive n negative on the new pump, turn the key and it turn on. It took 10 minutes to do. But man that put look original from factory. I'm buying a used one for $20 for now. Cuz I'm getting a upgrade fuel pump for my turbo setup I'm working on now.

 

You can just install a 255lph FP now so you don't have 2 worry bout used pump failing.

 

Is a vg fuel pump the same as a ve

 

Huh?

I don't believe OEM ones are the same. Aftermarket might be the same for all third gens though, not sure.

You know you can always look up answers to these types of questions up right? Go to one of the online Nissan parts places (nissanpartszone.com, Courtesy, etc) and look up whichever part for both VG and VE, if it's the same part number it's the same part..

 

I bought one recently and I was looking at part numbers because I was wondering about this too. They are different from the factory, but some aftermarket ones are listed for both cars. Not sure why Nissan took the time to do that and then used the same MAF sensor for both engines?... I don't see why either fuel pump would not be usable for both applications, but I could be wrong.

 

just use a VG fuel pump even if it is the same as a VE fuel pump, VG will be way more common than VE

 

how's that set up looking?

 

Right now I'm looking for either a good standalone or a piggy back to tune the motor. And researching for upgrade injectors. I've got everything else. I have a shop making a custom turbo manifold for me when I'm ready to install everything.

 

Nistune way to go for tuning. You have vg or ve? Ill be selling my manifolds this winter when I make another setup. Also I have some 370cc injectors for sale.

 

Nistune or JimWolfTechnology, Nistune is better if you can handle things yourself. JWT you have to get reflashed if you change anything

 

Ve motor I have. Those injector fit a ve?

 

Yes you can use them. Might have to use the vg rail and make diff mounting points not 100% on that. You will have to change the injector plug due to them being the old style.

 

Is there any any standalone that's a plug n play?

I was thinking of a apexi safv

 

Apexi safc is piggy back which not ideal. Nistune best option awesome to rune with

 

no...don't have JWT reflash your ECU...just don't do it. unless you want to be down for like 3 months. thanks clark and ben for sitting on my ECU and gave me a kraptastic tune afterwards.


really man? you want him to switch to old style injector plugs and rails?

ummm no...the Apexi SAFC is NOT a standalone it's barely considered a piggy back. NOTHING...and i mean NOTHING is a plug and play for the 3rd gens...haven't you learned that by now???

 

Nistune is plug and play

 

you mean if you have them solder your board for you?...sure i guess you can say it's PnP.

 

Ya. Otherwise not hard to solder in yourself if know what your doing

 

right...but that's not "plug and play"

 

So what do you recommended is the best one to use

 

Nistune

 

THIS...

 

I look it up and it looks like nistune type 3 is the only chip made for ve30de. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's sort of a plug n play , you really don't have to wiring up the motor at all.

 

It's type 2 or 3 can't remember. Contact matt at nistune he will set you up. Being ve you will connect to ecu using consult port

 

So I don't have to solder anything to ecu?

 

Send your ecu or a spare to them they can install into ecu.

 

Nice. I can do that now with n/a setup n get that out the way

 

yeah ive heard between having to ship the ECU back to California and waiting for a while even then it doesnt work

check Nistunes website to see which you need, last time i checked was a few years ago but i think VG30E are type 2

 

The website say type 3 controls ve.

Just saw a video on how to solder the chip. Easy to do. I will be doing it myself.

 

my bad thought you have a VG. type 1 is VG and type 3 is VE
