James, what it comes down to is:

how much you can afford to spend

whether you'll be putting it in yourself

how much power

if so, how good are you at modifying to fit

if not, how good is your mechanic

Basically, what it comes down to, is that the tomei and nismo variants are designed to be straight bolt in. In terms of straight bolt in, I mean literally, comes with everything down tot he last hose clamp, tank gasket, brackets, everything.

I personally like the tomei/nismo pumps, and with the aussie dollar at its all time high, the price is cheaper than ever before. I remember when I first got my car, to get a nismo pump, you were looking at about $800 (less parts people back then too, so they charged whatever they liked).

If you don't mind fabricating stuff, you could fit something like a bosch 044 intank, or run a lift pump and use an 044 externally.

Ok thanks for that, with the future mods i should make around 400rwkw. What type of fabricating is involved with installing the 044 if they are an external pump. When i pulled out my pump it seems to be a nismo brand with the brackets or are the brackets already standard.

Well, the standard pump has a bracket. :laugh:

It's not hard to install an 044 in tank. You just have to modify that bracket, mount it onto that bracket, and squeeze it into the tank (the pump's quite large, so it'll need some maneuvering, but you shoudl eventually be able to get it in without it resting on the bottom of the tank (otherwise it'll be really noisy).

i think you may have the 044 mixed up with the 040.

nismo - 311 aud from greenline... and i was about to go through nengun!

yeah, well, I made the mistake of buying the nismo from nengun - $400 for it, and it took 6 weeks. They decided to send it after a few abusive emails.

Then the prick got smart with me!

Nengun = lose

Greenline = win

Nismo pump = double win

check out the excellent quality.

Came with an eom style bracket, new o ring for the access cap, and all sorts of shit. NO assembly is required.

The Bosch 910 pump is only rated to flow ~400hp. If thats all your after then throw a walbro in.

Walbro's are good pumps for low power levels but start pushing 450+hp and don't mess around and throw in either a Bosch 044 or Tomei/Nismo pump.

All bosch pumps can be mounted in tank with only slight modifications.

Generally....

Bosch 910, 200 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 220 rwkw

Bosch 975, 228 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 250 rwkw

Bosch 984, 228 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 250 rwkw

Bosch 040, 235 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 260 rwkw

Bosch 044, 330 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 360 rwkw

'Apparently' running a check valve on the 044 helps prevent cavitation and keep it quiet.

Not sure where you got those figures from but they are different to what I have especially the flow rates at those pressures. But your calculations on supporting horsepower is wrong. 200l/hr = 3.33L/min of fuel flow therefore you would need 6 555cc/min injectors to use all the fuel which places the power output at around 550hp using a BSFC of 0.55.

The biggest thing you've got to remember is that as the pressure drops the flow rates go up substantially - more so with bosch pumps.

Thanks manwhore and the others for the advice. It will come down to the Sard and the Nismo pump.

And NENGUN i have never heard a good thing about there customer service very slow postage and no after sales service.

Hey mate that set up looks different to mine, my pump was clamped on and sat towards the end of the bracket with the sock pretty much attached to the pump.

Yeah, that sounds like an original bracket with either the standard pump, or an upgrade pump (bosche or GTR) clamped down the bottom

Heap of pics comparing original/upgrade pump here:

I decided to have a mechanic install my bosch 040 today, he modifyed the cradle etc then went to install .... told me it cant be done, the o4o is physically larger than stock pump and will not go down far enough to draw fuel out effectivly and i would be forever filling it to make sure there is enogh fuel, all the reading i have done on the 040 says it can be done??????

you need to find a new mechanic.

im a builder and it only took me 10 minutes to install my 044 in tank with a falcon v8 fuel sock and its wisper quiet.

if a mechanic cant install a 040 in the tank then he has issues.

back to trade school for him.

All the hose is fuel rated from pirtek,

with no surging or running out at 1/4 full.

its not a hard mod, yet everyone goes running to the nismo etc.

just make sure you rubber mount the pump

and you can hardly hear it running

044 FTW

I just took a look at the pic, I was un aware that i would need to modify the pump also, down the bottom where the sock is attached, how is this done??? take the mesh of the bottom of the pump and?? Edit: thats an 044 eh?

Are you sure he is mechanic? are sure he is not a downy?

040 Can be done easily, just requires common sense and locating the clamps correctly so they don't hit the edges of the tank.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
