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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
