you didnt mount it on the steel bracket thingie, u just extended the hose and let it sit at the bottom?... wait.. the steel thing is connected to the hose isnt it? how much did you extend champ?

the best option if you are chasing just a lil more power with a good tune would b a walbro pump in tank direct replacment just make sure it aint a ebay on i got one of those a long tome ago lasted a 2 power runs

A lot of people say the walbro are shite etc etc but I've been using mine for months now. Made sure I got a genuine one and it was installed correctly. Real test is coming though with a PFC (finally thanks to Slide) on the way and aiming at 265rwkw.

Your fuel will not 'run out early' with a bigger pump as the pump does not control the fuel delivery but merely circulates it. As already mentioned you can run into the problem of heating up the fuel in the tank if too much fuel is being recirculated back to the fuel tank (like being stuck in traffic with a 044 or two). You could get slightly less economy if your engine was running lean due to a dying pump before it was replaced.

yer i connected it to the steel bracket but you have to be careful i got a hose the same size as the inlet glued it and zipped ties it to the small inlet the attached the filter to the bottom of the hose i only extended it about 7-10 cm hard to tell i was a while ago and im sure its at the tip now lol

I've heard that with the 040, because it doesn't have a pick up on it that you mount the pump as low as possible in the tank. But even so it won't be able to pick up as low as the stock pump and thus you'll come across running short of fuel before the tank is empty.

Has anyone here made an extension or pick up for the 040?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
