I dont know something like 500hp

This is from a spreadsheet i made when buying my fuel pump, i cant recall where the info came from.

- Bosch 040 - 235 L/hour

- Bosch 044 - 330 L/hour

- Bosch 910 - 200 L/hour

&

- GTR pump - 190 L/hour

- GTST pump - 135 L/hour

Like i said this is from an old spreadsheet, i cant recall where the figures came from, or the integrity of them.

The 910 can be mounted as an internal pump as well I believe.. i think if all you want is a "replacement" and aren't planning more than 450hp (which is something like 280rwkw)..the 910 would be fine.. save the $

I picked mine up for $200.. yet to go in as its a bit of a bitch getting the cover off to get into the tank itself. Haven't had a few hours spare to sit down and work out how its all to go in..

might be able to give you a hand fitting it - or you can come and give me a hand when i try and do mine :D

If you are chasing upto 250rwkw, go the GTR pump, they fit where the stock one does and minimal stuffing around.

I just put in a 044, what a pain in the arse. Had to chase around for hours to get all the mounting adaptors hardware, then had to hack saw the bracket to fit the pump, then bend the bracket to fit it into the tank and it still didnt go in easy. I would estimante a stock pump to gtr would take 1 hour tops, 044, with all the stuffing around (trying to find the parts, then actually getting them) took the best part of a day.

Or, just put a bosch pump in line.

A friends 200SX is supposed to have an 044 pump in its tank. There are bladder type syphons that can be screwed into the pumps pick up so that they can still be used in tank. Can anyone else confirm this?

As for the noise, be prepared they are noisy, me i think they sound cool, but i know it gets on the nerves of the cars owner, and if pulled over by Police could be a point of concern.

Oh and one other thing, my insurance company stipulates im free to have mods to whatever, except my fuel system must remain original.

If this is a smart way of ensuring a HP ceiling, or arises from a safety/fire perspective i dont know. But with a pump whining away when car is running i wouldnt want to be the person explaining the noise to the assessor.

Thats my thoughts anyway.

You can use the pickup from the stock pump, just have to remove the tag that secures it to the stock pump (its plastic and sidecutters and stanley knife do a nice job), then use a piece of 1/2" hose from the bottom of the pump to the pickup and a couple of clamps.

You also need the fitting to go in the bottom of the pump and these are pretty rare but I found one at a speed shop, then you need a hosetail connector to go on the fitting to attach the 1/2 inch line.

You also need a banjo connector for the top of the pump, and some 3/8 fuel line to replace the existing stuff cos its too small and hose clamps. A couple of wire connectors, an 8mm and 10mm nut, stainless hose clamp to secure the pump to the bracket, but you could probably use cable ties if you are in a bodgey mood.:D

The pump ends up alot higher on the bracket so the pickup is in the right spot, so you need to bend the two tongues that secure the bracket to the (edit) tank, as the extra girth of the pump over stock prevents the tongues locating in the bracket.

If your insurance company wants you to keep a stock fuel pump, try a GTR one, I doubt very if an insurance inspector would know the difference between it and a stock one. then just get an adjustable nismo fuel pressure reg, cos apart from the adjust bolt on the top, they look stock and fit in the stock position. Something to think about anyways.:D

Im with client, my 044 in my 32 went in no worries at all, under an hour as well...I could do it after seeing it done in say 30...Just make sure when u get it done, u only have say 1/4 tank etc.

With my 044, i only notice the noise when its a *hot* day,

apart from that, i get this shit circulating noise every say 30sec/min, sometimes it doesn't happen for 10min, but it sounds ghey :)

In regards to needing a tune, is this likely?

How do u 'dial in a new pressure' :)

No they are not.  Why do you want rising rate?  Just dial in the pressure you want, and adjust the pulse width to suit.

True...

I assumed after seeing Malpassi Adj. Rising rate fuel pressure reg's that they were the go. When Running really high fuel pressure to get the most out of your injectors wouldn't it be better to have a rising rate to reduce the stress of extra fuel pressure when just plotting around on low to medium boost?!?!

Brody...

I get that same crap noise on hot days with my Boch 910 external pump. I really don't like that sound.. What actually causes it? Surely it wouldn't be vapour locks?!?!

Joel, if it wont take the stress all day every day, you shouldnt be using the pressure, or at least upgrading fuel lines etc. I would hate to try and stretch my fuel system even close to limits, 'cos all it would take is a tiny hole, either running lean, or fuel vapour floating around - not sure which I would like less? If you are in doubt, perhaps its time to replace all the feed lines?

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • 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.
