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.

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
