I use a Nismo 275lph pump, genuine.

Best you can get imo.

Currently at 420rwhp at 20psi

someone on here sells them for $420.. bargin as nengun is $400 delivered anyways wtf wait 20 days?

[GtstCoupe]

Nismo or the Tomei units both are stock replacements and come with all the goodies you need

044 intank.

almost half the price and more head room for future power.

^^ as per above.

Im running the external Bosch (surge tank etc), but either way... cheap as chips.

Mine cost i think $220

have fun mounting a difficult, noisy external pump to the inside of your fuel tank..

023 same pump as the 044 but with the open end (like 040). 044 may be an external pump in the catalogue but i think this relates to the fitting on the bottom. plenty of them mounted in tank out there.

still more work to install than a nismo

so either quick easy install vs slightly more fiddly (+ higher labour cost)

Takes about 20mins end to end to install a bosch, i remember doing it one night with a torch.

So i dont think labour costs would be that high IMO

and if your going the in tank version then you want the 040, 044 is the external version.

Nismo FTW.

[robots]

what is the part number for nismo pump ? is it r32 gtr one ? or which one ?

actually the 023 is the intank version of the 044. the 040 flows less.

Takes about 20mins end to end to install a bosch, i remember doing it one night with a torch.

if you can modify the bracket by bending or cutting the factory metal pipes, locate the 044 the correct height on the bracket, install a sock on the bottom (additional parts), rotate the clamps on the bracket until they don't fowl inside the tank in under 20 mins you have done well. most workshops will hit you up for more than 20mins but i agree it can be done (like most things with familiarity). the 023 won't need the sock and should mount lower on the bracket and should be less likely to fowl inside the tank.

the nismo one is definitely quicker since you just swap brackets.

i reckon most people spend more than 20mins trying to get that bloody black ring threaded properly.

any of these pumps will be a good thing.

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah a workshop that has done a 100 of them before shouldn't have much of an issue installing it.

Even give them 30mins, its hardly a massive cost on top of installation

I reckon that open end business is a dodgey idea.

stop talking shit jono.

far from a hard or complex procedure.

and you may be suprised to here how quiet this setup actually is.

you can here it prime and that is all, never to be heard again.

its all about rubber mounting it properly as seen in the pic.

i classed it as a very easy install and i had no one to copy off.

now that i have given a pic of the finished install, it aint hard to copy,

and i would agree with nismoid by saying 20 min job.

044 around $210 - $230

fuel sock $30

fittings, stainless clamps, clear fuel hose and high flow non return valve from pirtek $40.

total shoping time 1 hr

total install time for a average bloke 20 - 30 min.

less then $300 all finished

with far greater hp potential.

[SCR34M3R]

yer i have read the how tos on installing the 044 internal, looks pretty easy, and i picked up a second hand one never used for $150 so this way is heaps cheaper andwill work

walbro 255lph is fine for my car to max 300hp at wheels
