You might want to edit that as it made no sense at all.

An 044 intank is no problem if you use an additional sock filter on the inlet. Orientation isn't an issue with it at all.

If anything I would be more worried about the limited filtering capacity of the 040 pump filter screen.

The 044 does have an internal filter screen as well, although the mesh might keep out things like.. medium size rocks perhaps?

My question was pointed more at eXc as he has reported 044 intank failures and I was wondering if he had used an additional pickup filter, but then having one bad out of the box I probably would have been asking more questions of the supplier, than the pump install itself.

James.

SECUR1TY's install is an 044 and they dont like being in a tank at all.. the ( 040 ) has a filter built into the bottom of it and they are designed bo be used in an upright position unlike its 044 external brother..

so if you are using in 044 in your tank no wonder it died...

Quick query:

Heatshrink. will it react with petrol.

I only ask as I soldered the connectors on to the wire, but it looked messy, so I used heatshrink around it, then on the terminals too (figure that avoiding a spark in the tank isn't a bad idea)

Anyone know if it'll perish or even worse, heat up?

I did a quick test with some fuel and a strip of heatshrink, and nothing seemed to happen, but just thought to ask.

alright i am in the middle of doing this now, and i can't for the life of me see how you can put this in without cutting the metal pipe that the pump connects onto via the hose

it is simply too long...

Good to see a tutorial on this but there are several issues I see over looked all the time.

A. 040 and 044 are massive over kill unless you are looking at supplying fuel for a hugely powered car. (in which case, an in tank simple set up is lacking in every department)

B. no check valve on either of these pumps. So as soon as you stop the car, all pressure is lost.

C. I don't think I've had an R32 that you could bend the pump seat down and fit it back in

D. this mounting style will be tremendously noisey.

Not being a smart arse! just trying to give info that I have come accross the hard way. I recently revised my in tank bosch set up but the pics are on my work computer. I'll get them up soon.

Thanks for the comments, other peoples experiences are always good when doing something like this. My views however;

A) It's what 'everyone' on the forums here seemed to go for, which is why it continues to be a popular choice (even though now I'd say buy a walbro, cheaper, i had less problems and it would fit in the standard mount)

B) No idea about that, but it didn't cause me any problems - Unless that had something to do with me going through 2 of these pumps...the walbro never had a problem... so it could be? not sure why I went through 2 Bosch's cause the tank was not contaminated.

C) Like I said in the tutorial, you need to cut it down.

D) Wasn't noisy for me at all. The Bosch was much louder than the Walbro however.

Cheers

I just installed one today. For some reason if I was to mount mine directly under the fuel feed pipe it would not fit in the tank. So I mounted it on a very slight angle and put a loop of hose around back to the feed. This actually worked really well. I only have 10l in the tank and its fine, its only slightly louder than the standard pump.

I also did the fuel pump rewire because the standard pump was getting just under 12v.

I have heard that at low throttle position (less than 10%?), the voltage drops to 6V to cut noise down. Is this true? If it is this may be the reason some peoples pumps don't last long as they are burning out if they are using the factory wiring to power the pump.

Mine was around 12v mark at idle...so i don't think that is true, unless it drops voltage when you throttle it a bit, which I doubt... measure it for us and let us know,.

Were you measuring voltage from the positive terminal on the pump harness to chassis ground or the negative terminal of the pump harness? The voltage regulator module for the fuel pump lifts the ground to reduce the voltage seen at the pump.

yeh sure is true, i jus put a 32 gtr pump into my gtst and when i start it up after about 5-10secs you can hear the pump slow down then if i give it a little rev it will speed up again pointless to me but yeh

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
