Fuel Pumps? Gtr,walbror500hp,bosch 040/044?


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

i need some help guys n girls! im abit confused :( i see alot of ppl using gtr fuel pumps n shit for upgrades for rb20's i could get one of those for about $150 in sweet condition, but i see alot of ppl use walbro 500HP pumps too and also the 044 or 040 BOCSH pumps!! whats the best?!?! im leaning towards the walbro kit.. (heard its easyer to instal n shit also its at a nice price around $150 too brand new.. but yeah would love to hear your feed back ay

also, has anyone heard of a company (super spark) ) they make coil packs red ones.. just wondering if anyones used them too.. or (spitfire) the blue ones lol ? what are your thoughts? they are around the same price beteween them ay.. im not fussed :)

my next mods are gonna be fuel pump, gtr injectors and coil packs(maybe) also a z32 afm (if anyone got ones of these that would be hot!) pm me :) also a tune with DRDRIFT if possible when he comes up to the coast :) .. if anyone has any of these gimme a buzz would be great... to get them at a quality price n shit :D <3

regards JEZ

i know people always say this. but what are your power goals?

edit: as an all rounder i would go the 040 i have one. just pop old pump out of bracket.

pop the 040 in and your done....thats it

well, a nice strong 200kw ay.. safe and strong thats what i want..

Could i get that with ? with an rb20det with 25 turbo with 3" all the way stainless split dump and front turbo back zorst no mufflers :D and a new fuel pump, injectors around the gtr specs also a remap of stock ecu (tuned by dr drift) tuned stainless manifold and hks mushy pod in cold box with fmic and new spitfire or super spark coil packs and z32 afm?

the GTR pump should suit your needs, mine didnt run out of flow until i was approaching 270rwkw, it should be the cheapest option too!

ahh ok. well i dont mind either way.. the noise ect.. it isnt an issue :D my car sounds like a truck u wouldnt be able to hear the pump anyways.. and i was more leaning for a the brand new pumps cos they brand new lol and not worn.. but i want good value and price i though 150 for a brand new walbro 500HP was pretty good for brand new and the 040 was 200 i think .. and yeah so please keep posting ur experiences with these fuel pumps.

also wat litre per hour does the GTR fuel pumps accually run at?

i had a bosch 040. was noisy as hell. it end up dieing on me.

i then went with a gtr pump which supports up to ~250rwkw and is just as quiet as the stock pump.

i'd say stay with OEM and go with the GTR pump. :D

lol. i love my 040's noise. car almost shudders on priming. and dips of the throttle increase its noise. i love definitely a good mod.. but need a bigger pump soon :banana:

I run a bosche 023 largest in tank puppy available and nice a easy to install, i have also heard alot of bad things about walbro pumps

ahh k, what litre per hour is the 023 (the largest intank one)? and that funny u say that lol iv heard bad things about Bosch pumps.. and to go Walbro :| ZOMFG dilamas

I could not hear my 040 over the exhaust... :glare:

But thought why pay $150-200 for a second hand used fuel pump which probablly does not even flow as much as it used too when new...

And with 300+rwkw in mind I didnt want to skimp of a quality fuel pump hence my selection of an 040... :laugh:

New, realiable, warranty, cheap and fits with minimal modification in the tank...

Althought I think te GTR pump is a good idea, im hesitant to use second hand stuff like fuel pumps cause if they fail to feed enough fuel you can do massive damage...

col u pretty much said wat i was thinking ay. i really want a new pump.. specially when your paying that price.. but nfi what one? so lol what next :| :glare: keep posting noobs <3

040 is all you need to flow up to and over 300rwkw...

Plus thier cheap as chips, cheaper than some gtr pumps ive seen for sale.

Looking at your needs, an 040 will be prime :glare:

One note tho, id avoid ebay for these items go to a shop where you get an invoice and a warranty direct from bosch. (might cost you $20 more)

GTG Top gear time

ahh k, what litre per hour is the 023 (the largest intank one)? and that funny u say that lol iv heard bad things about Bosch pumps.. and to go Walbro :| ZOMFG dilamas

800hp not sure of exact flow rate :P go the bosch!

cant go wrong with a genuine bosch 040, had one im my car. As col said dont skimp on ya pump get a brand newy. if you are worried about the noise just insulate it with proper fuel hose that is big enough to go around the body of it.

cant go past the bosh 040 pump .. walbro pumps arent worth the effort after 240ish rwkw struggle too much .. mind you my bosh 040 isnt super quiet a lil noisy

Splitfires are good havent heard or seen the other brand before ? i know MSD do a kit for the RB's around 2 grand for the set

hmmm just had a quick look, i could pick up a bosch 023 for 190 delivered :O thats not bad :down: half price sale or something lol its the same price as the 040 :O and the 023 is biggerhp and flow better stronger apparently :rant: makes sense to me to get the 023 :).. i'm still after some GTR injectors if anyone knows anyone who has a set, much appreciated :D

hey ppl's thought i would ask a question while we are talking bout pumps.. i bought a walbrow 500hp for ma 33, expecting to run 300kw @wheels... is that capable. if not i was gonna run that pump plus a serge tank ect and a better pump.. but dont wanna spend the money if i dont have to.. any thoughts ?

thanks

stay away from walbro's man. bad news all over this site.

however one common problem with the bosch o40 on the other hand is that u will need a dedicated power and earth wire, as u dont recieve the full voltage (i wasnt). also the 040's have a tendancy to overheat and burnout.

so there are sides to both story's. buy new, as u will get a warranty :banana:

    • 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?
