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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
