I have now received all the pumps and am now awaiting payment. If i do not receive your payment by wednesday i will have to send your pump back to bosch. On that note i have at this point 1x040 and 2x910 spare so any one interested give me a yell

hey guys,

have any of u who bought the bosch 910 pumps installed them yet?

I needed to know if they are loud?

Also, are the bosch 975 pumps much better?

(I'm aiming for 190 - 200rwkws and was told to get a bosch 975 pump, but it only flows a little bit more than a 910 but is a lot more expensive, why is this?)

sorry to hijack but any info is much appreciated.

Thanks heaps!!

A 910 will support up to 335 rwkw which will be ample for you

I'd like to know how you worked that out ?

BHP is the HP measured at the flywheel. Now using my formula below this is what I'd rate those Bosch fuel pumps.

Formula = BHP x 0.746 (hp -> kw) x 0.8 (using a 20% drivetrain loss which is quite conservative) = rwkw

So that means:

910 rated at 450 bhp = 335kw = ~269rwkw

040 rated at 520 bhp = 388kw = ~310rwkw

044 rated at 730 bhp = 545kw = ~435rwkw

I'm personally using the 040 pump.

Sorry calculation error on my behalf didnt allow for the 20% drive train loss. The bhp is still correct so people could have worked it out from there.

Give me a break im doing a favour getting these pumps cheap for you sau guys making no profit for my self.

Was there an 040 left? If so I'll take it but Im outta town til after Xmas.

nah sorry, there are only some 044's and 910's left but I will be sending them back to bosch if they're not purchased by Wednesday (tomorrow).

    • 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
