hey, i have bosch 040 intank pump in my 32gtst and recently went to a drift practice day at baskerville in tasmania, halfway through the day my car started cutting out at high revs or high load, by the time i got home i couldn't rev it past 2500rpm or put much load on it at all and the pump was buzzing its head off

the bosch 040 had shat itself, i now have a new one in there and all is good, but im worried if i go back to the track again it will happen again.

some people have told me i should get a surge tank, but i cant see how it could run out of fuel(enough to stuff the pump) with over half a tank left

ive done the voltage mod and am running the pump off my own relay and it has 14volts going to it, could this hurt it?

but maybe i just got a dud pump

very grateful for any help!

for those interested heres a vid from the praccy day, my first one so go easy!!

I have an 044 mounted intank with a new sock but it's mounted much lower than the original, had a track day and a couple of skidpan days with lots of sideways, no dramas whatsoever. It will even run down way past the E line on the gauge and still not splutter under full load.

the 040 has the open base, therefore no sock.

One can machine up a fitting to suit, as per a 044 DIY i did :(

Odd, might be worth seeing if you can send the dead pump to Bosch Australia for a pull apart, and diagnostic. Maybe the pickup is too low lol.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
