Bosch 044

[Yakuza]

1) How good are they ?

2) How much do they retail ?

3) Is it hard to install in a R33 GTST ?

[Steve]

1) if they are installed properly, they are very good and will support over 600hp.

2) seen them from about 400 - 550

3) They are a bit tricky to get in, some of the fittings can be hard to find. If you do a search, there is a good thread that covers installing pumps not too far back.

What sort of hp are you chasing? Cos there are some other good options available that are cheaper and easier to install.

Where do you get them for $250? I got mine direct from Bosch and I paid more than that.

If you can get them for $250 apiece you probably won't be needing your day job any more...

ive been told u can get them from ice performance for $250

You sure they weren't talking about the 040? Even that would be pretty pretty cheap for an 040.

[KamikazeR33]

pretty sure it was the 044 JimX

[DESCR8]

I enquired and they sell them for $400 each

$320 with all the fittings. Just got mine installed. If u know em then u get the good price otherwise :shake:

[JimX]

Do they have a mounting bracket that sits the 044 pump properly in the right spot or do they re-use the old bracket? Because mine is a little bit mangled I wouldn't mind buying something that puts it in the right position. At the moment I'm contemplating running a longer hose to pick up the fuel from lower.

[Nacho Vidal]

i dont think they come with a bracket, i think my old one was opened up a bit to hold the 044

jee u must know them well,i havnt seen them under $300 and i have bought a few,just bought 2 for my r32 and cost me $600 and then to fit intank and do it properly you need about $75 in fittings and also labour to fit into the tank.

u paid $320 for a $450 minimum job,are u sure its not an 040 or another brand pump.

i got a whole bunch of stuff done so the labour costs aint that much just for the pump

Anyone had any fuel surge problems with O44's fitted in tank. Mine will through the twistes with half a tank (more so on the track).

[JimX]

No surge for me unless I'm below the empty line on the gauge (<8-10 litres). I know why it's doing it though, it's because the pickup doesn't go as far down into the tank because the pump is in a different position. One day when I can be bothered I'm going to take it out and put in some longer hose so it gets the fuel from further down in the tank.

If yours is doing it with half a tank you probably have a dodgy install. Have you got the original pick-up fitted to the bottom of the pump or is the fuel going straight into the pump?
