What do ppl think is the best option for a 32 gtst, rb20 with a vg30. Looking for over 210rwkw.

I know these types of pumps are what most ppl are going for but which is better?

Is there anything I should know? Are they easy to install?

Help me, i'm "fuel pump" challenged.

I had a bosch 040 in my car before i upgraded to a nismo. It held up fine with 230rwkw and im sure the could take a lot more, mine was just held in with a hose clamp. I still got it laying around if decide to go for one.

i have a Bosch 040 in my car atm

it works a treat till on a hot day....the fuel level if it drops below 1/4 tank the car starts to starve

on a cold winters night i have gone below E so..must have something to do with the weather

its not that loud either and yes they can handle more power...bang for buck i say

If i where you i'd be throwing that pump in the bin before you lose your motor.

I use an 040 as a lift pump on my 1000hp drag car...no problems with fueling even on the hottest of track days and i only ever have a maximum of 20litres in the tank.

fine as a lift pump......don't know how far you'd go as a stand alone which is what these kids are after me thinks

Im going a twin 044 set up with a custom surge tank in a perspex box in my boot shortly. Iv'e already got a nismo pump for a lift pump. Should be all ok for 450-500 i hope.

BTW if your after Bosch pumps check the group buy section. Both 040 and 044 are $220 del. That's where im getting mine from.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
