I'm a fan of the Bosch 044 mounted in tank.

Overkill IMO when the 040 (direct fit) is plenty or you could run a 023 if you wanted something with a little more flow.

Personally im a BOSCH fan myself and dont rate the Walbros but different stroke.s

$210 for a brand new 040 KEM.D :thumbsup:

044's can run in tank or out.. personally I'm with the paintballman, better an 044 with a proper sock and fuelling capacity than either a walbro, or an 040 with sfa filtering. Or if you have too much money or no mechanical aptitude any of the jap drop-ins. As you could tell 044 intank here as well.

Paragon, your setup is massive overkill for the vast majority here but is quite nice.

040 seems to be fine in my application (stock). Not very noisy and it was relatively easy to fit, apart from it being considerably fatter than the stock pump.

I went for the Bosch because I thought it would be a better quality unit than the Walbro.

It hasn't failed yet so I'm not worried.

What did worry me was that despite the extra $$ spent on the Bosch, it didn't come with the nuts for the wiring posts AND it was made in the Czech Republic, not Germany.

Ah well, that's how it goes isn't it!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
