They will not fit into the existing bracket... I know because I fitted one in my car last thursaday...

They are about twice the size of the stock pump, so you will need to alter the bracket...

also the top nut fitting is a different size...

AWESOME PUMP THOUGH....sounds sweet and works a treat.

I paid $215 dollars for my pump (part no 0 580254910-390)

You also need new fuel filter (for warranty reasons)....

I bought it online from www.onautos.com.au

The guys name is Trevor.... delivered to my door in 4 days.

My machanic fitted it and I helped...

Dan

if you are a hack machanic I dont recommend it..

If you get it wrong.. bye,bye motor....

Dont risk it... my machanic put it in for me for $60.... and that also included change oil,plugs, filters...... BARGIN, he looks after me....

bosch 390 can fit into the std bracket it you modify it though. i know some pumps are WAY too big and need a completely new bracket to fit...

is the 390 overkill?? im only after a 400hp pump... and with replacing the ful filter i just did that on my last service... do you need to replce it again or do they just say have anew filter present cos mines less than a week old!

ok i rang a performance tuner here in perth, they reckon no bosch pumps will fit the std bracket and to fit a 390 you would have to go for a surge tank setup....

i might investigate the possibility of using a GTR or VL pump, does anyone know of anyone whos used these?

I made a 044 pump fit in the stock bracket and it is the biggest pump they make. You have to moddify the bracket a bit and it only justs fits. Have a look at the 040 i think it is, it is a little smaller and is designed to be mounted in tank as it has the filter in the bottom of the pump, good for 400hp easy. The 044 requires the sock filter off the stock pump to be fitted to it. Get the biggest one you can afford to fit as you will be sure it will do the job, only paid $400 for the 044 so shop around to find a good deal.

Fuel pumps dont have a HP rateing !

They have a L/hr at x presure graph.

Bosch 040 Been useing a lot of these

Bosch 044 and these.

Bosch 975

975 is same as 044 but hand made and assembled and has threaded fittings, and is expensive !

The 040 and 044 can be made to fit in a standard GTR pickup situation, GTS-t same ??? i think so.

Adam you dont need a surge tank with the 390... all you do is buy some bigger fuel risistant tubing and by-pass the standard "small" fuel hoses in the tank.....

You will also need to put in NEW fuel filter with pump to keep warranty.....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
