teazn_r33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 thanks man umm yer surge tank is always a good thing make sure that when it comes to fuel you dont go cheap always go for the big bangers to much fuel is better than no fuel at all im running a 044 with a 1.5 lt surge tank and a standard lift pump and that suppourst 300 rwkw also make sure you get some teflon braided hose if you buy any one those big pumps or else you will ahve trouble after trouble Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teazn_r33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 also look into a malpassi or some thing thay work a treat since you have stock inj Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33GOD Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 also look into a malpassi or some thing thay work a treat since you have stock inj what does the regulator do? im confused...does it stop the stock injectors from maxing out? idk Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANWHORE Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 yep, you will if you install it like how everyone else does. The bosch 040 doesn't have a pickup at the bottom. Have fun experiencing 3/4 tank syndrome, fuel surge and having a pump that will die in no time at all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 there is a thing as a fuel pump thats too big if it can pump too much and if your sitting in peak hour traffic idling lots the pump will keep going and pushing the fuel around the rail system and back to the tank, which will heat up the fuel, giving you a soggy and sluggish response when you open the throttle Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teazn_r33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 before i go tmy inj n ect i had standard ones and a 044 with a malpassi i was stupid n tryed to get as much power as possiable without any mods anyways the malpassi seem to over run the inj and pump a heap of fuel into the car but max sure they dont max out or else Bang.. but you should be right for say 240 rwkw max Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulr33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 040 is fine for most mild gts's gtr is another goody (but usually 2nd hand, older) its only like really big pumps that have the "too big" issue like maybe an 044 or twin 044's etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158058-will-my-car-run-outta-petrol-early-with-the-bosch-040/#findComment-2934636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
