does anyone have instructions on installing the 044 into the stock fuel tank

just interested as ill be doing one soon. do you still use the fuel pickup as id imagine they dont have one due to being designed as an external

here is a link to a DIY bosch 984 which flows more than an 040 and less than an 044. Bosch 984 DIY

the 044 needs a few minor additional parts from those listed but more or less the same.

BTW it is an external pump but they mount in tank no worries same as a 984 (or any other bosch pump afaik).

could be some heat issues though there isn't really much you can do about it really, mine is run off a surge tank so the area is pretty large.

O44 must have a one way valve installed on its outlet, they come with a banjo style one from bosch but no one uses it... this stops the fuel making its way back though the pump..

that guide is an absolute treat so top work for that

is the quality of the fuel supply affected by the lack of a sock filter at all? and what is this one way valve i will need to get (does anyone have a link)

cheers

i got my one way valve from Motorsport connections in Seven Hills NSW ..

sock is to keep crap out of the pump which can foul the pump itself causing it to burn itself out.

one way valve is to keep the lines and rail pressurized, only required if you want to run the pipe straight out of the pump and not use the banjo fitting supplied.

my one way valve came with a -8 fitting to use the push lock hose i ran off the pump and surge tank setup...

here is a pic of how it is setup til i weld up a new box for the system to cut out the fumes and noise..

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
