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

lol, what sauce are you going to use???? I dont think that that would be healthy, lol...... SOURCE....

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

Didn't know I was a school, but thanks for being a good teacher and pointing that out :(

And I am looking at the high side of 200rwkw

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
