I think I read on sau, its better if you run a new power source if you instal a bosch 040. I have done a search and couldn't find a thread on this topic.

If this is the case, could someone guide me through the process?

thanks

Leigh

It all depends on what power you will be aiming for...

Apparently its just goot to change the wiring from the loom to the pump cos not enough current flows through the factory ones... so yea just change wiring and make sure its giving full 12v+ to get the full potential from the pump, cos its internal you wont need a differnt power source, just a boost so to speak

Is it better to re-do the wiring, yes. Is it necessary, maybe not. I ran a Bosch 044 pump for 3 years without any problems with the factory wiring. This includes a 350km trip up north in the middle of a hot summer, and the pump ran so loud you could hear it over the stereo and air conditioning. It used to get louder the hotter it got for some reason. I was actually waiting for it to crap out and ring the NRMA for a tow and a hotel room, but it never skipped a beat and is still going strong 2 summers later and the wiring has no signs of melting or burning.

However, if your wiring melts or your car explodes it's not my fault! :( This is just my tale, I would have upgraded the wiring if I could have been bothered attaching new wires to the fiddle factory connectors. Also if running the pump externally though a surge tank, I wouldn't re-use the factory wiring.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
