Bosch Fuel Pump's

[Fabs_32]

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.

me 2 im lookin to upgrade my gtr pump to something bigger for my gt25/35

[Fabs_32]

Are they an easy swap or is there modifing needed??

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.

Well if your starving you engine of fuel, you risk it running lean and melting your pistons like i did in my old RB20.

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.

A 040 would be good for say 250-300rwkw at all?

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

[gtrkiet]

so would the 040 be good for 230-260rwkw stand alone?

[SLED]

don't know Kietz but a Nismo is good for well over 300

[gtrkiet]

out of my budget ><

[heslo]

Go the Nismo... you get what you pay for

[heslo]

You could always wait a bit, put some extra cash aside, go without something for a little bit then bam, you have the money! That's just how I think anyways but I digress...

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.
