What i need to know is what i need to stick the fuel pumps fuel output to the the fuel lines. I went down to repco and the guys there showed my some hose clamps. Now is that going 2 b good enough.

After many of searches on the forum I found a picture

Trying to figure out what he has done and where he got the stuff & what I need to do the work.

Both myself and a lot of others have used the standard foel hose with a high pressure fuel hose clamp over the thread. It works fine. It is not Ideal but will work properly.

I looked for the threadded section and correct fitting and was quoted $96 and 2 weeks to get it in :/

Also remember to install it in the tank about 7mm from the bottom of the tank otherwise you will get a rude suprise when u :thumbsup: run out of fuel on 1/4 of a tank

Also direct feed the pump from the battery via a relay. do a search for direct feed bosch 040. And I have been told you can bend the return to the tank away from the pump to prevent cavitation.

and also the bosch is a noisy bugger when at idle.

i'd be settin that style pump as external leaving the standard pump in tank and bosch one in route to engine done this on mates 33 couple of weeks ago found it much easier install .

Yeah not sure if that's an easy thing to do, It's an intank fump.

The 040 is made by bosch as an intank pump, thats why it has a screen on the bottom as its pick up, has no threadded fitting or barb on the bottom for pick up. Its the factory pump for some of the high performance Audi's. I have this in my car and it was a bastard to get in. The size of the thing is the problem. I find mine to be fairly quiet and can only hear it when the tank is near empty.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
