Bosch 044 External Pump Setup.

Hey guys, I have mounted my 044 under the car with a surge tank (hate the smell and noise inside the car) and I have got a fuel pump control module from a GTR to drop the voltage to the pump at idle.

I plan on using the lower idle 7V supply when my AFM output is under 2.5V, will this be ok for the Bosch pump? I guessed since it was ok for the stock GTR pump to run at this voltage then the 044 should to?

The extra current won't heat it up if there is any?

Thanks Sydneykid for the J Car voltage switch idea :thumbsup: using this to switch to earth and supply battery voltage since the Powerfc does not have outputs to the control module i'm told.

If possible, could you snap some pics of the instalation?

Only have pics of the tank etc setup under the car.

The relays and wires are not that interesting :D

5 relays and a lot of wiring.. will be annoying if I can't use it..

Cheers :D

Yep RB30 in a Silvia.

Have a GTR lift pump in the tank. Overkill but I already had it in there..

The External pump was the one that stopped though

Hope the Bosch Pump can run at a lower voltage.. took a bit of work setting it up.

Are you switching the pump to a dirty earth, or its supply voltage (with a few resistors) ??

Can you quickly feed it max juice to see if its a voltage thing, or something else? Not a one way valve hooked up in the wrong orientation? lol.

I thought they'd heat up as well...

Silvia with RB30 single... your crazy btw hahaha.

It is a volt thing. I can change the settings on my voltage switch and ground it to supply battery voltage and it goes fine.

So the wiring is all working, just not enough voltage.

Its regulated via a stock GTR voltage control module. These control 7, 9 and battery voltage via ground.

As for increased current etc etc. It didn't seem hot even when it wasn't pumping but on.. I am no expert with the I=V/R and power output etc..

I guess because the pump is going slower it requires less amps.. so it won't get hot?

If it was a problem, why would this system come out factory in a GTR? :D

Read the voltage/fuel pump thread... the link is in the Forced Induction Guide :P

Should have just gotten decent fuel lines (stops the smell in cabin). I've seen them and they are tops, look cool too!

I have probably read every thread on this board mate :)

I like the tank under the car, would not have it any other way.. and I wanted a varying voltage signal to my external pump so it's not pumping 800hp worth of fuel between the rail and surge tank on idle.. and for the noise.

Im confident at the 9V setting on the module the pump will work, remembering as soon as the car fires up and vacuum is applied to the regulator pressure is released as well as the battery will supply more voltage once the alternator starts working. The 7v feed may yet even work with the car running.. I ran out of time testing it in the weekend :)

This is basically how it's wired.

STR8E180: Skylines have the same space underneath.. just they have a hicas pump in that place. And who needs hicas anyway? :) I think it's Hicas...

Widebody S13 with a RB30/RB26 in it. nearly 5 years work :)

wow thats some series respect!!!

did u upgrade the suspension for the heavy front end???

also wat turbo are u using?":?

i still got all the hicas junk under my GTR i just locked it up with a lock bar

Thanks mate.

It has some aftermarket dampers.. nothing amazing but no problems with weight.

Ballbearing Garret turbo. rated for 600HP or so. very responsive..

Remove all that Hicas junk then! bit of weight with all that. ;)

I have the same pump and setup in my Stagea, and have the pump at the same place, i run with 12v, i am pretty sure, you have to run it with 12v, but at this place, it is very noisy.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.

      Yeah I noticed this just now. No doubt she will be running smoother next start😂🤣😂

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.

      As promised………… the first start. Rough and a few bugs to work out. Still she lives att.1cnTUvrWxiOZUFbg0S43m1VFUdDhxGBq3UU53bvtkww.mp4

      Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can  - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
