I've found one... :D

Based on the following table:

Bosch 910 pump is 200 litres per hour and supports 450 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 975 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 984 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 044 pump is 330 litres per hour and supports 730 bhp at 73.5 PSI  

Bosch 040 pump is 235 litres per hour and supports 520 bhp at 73.5 PSI

There is a Nismo 4.1Litre per minute or 246 litre per hour intank pump that should support approx 540hp.

Greenline sell them for ~$500 AUD.

if your pump does the same noisy thing when hot then I guess they all do it

i was going to mention this!

was curious to know if anyone elses gets annoyingly louder when its hot (long drive + warmer weather)

im not sure how mine was mounted (its intank), but the only issue i have is that when the fuel gauge is on the second last notch, its classified as "empty" and will surge if it goes lower and i dont fuel up :cheers:

Yes yes yes - mine does this - I thought is was a problem with my pump - but if others do this too -then I guess not ! !

Phewwww - I feel a lot better now ! ! ! !

I have put 55L in mine, guage was well and truely on empty, and it didnt surge - that was with bosch 044.

If you have surge, there is a very good chance that the pickup isnt correctly located. next time you have low fuel, try pulling the pump, and checking that the sock is in the right spot, ie, it locates in the little section at the bottom of the tank designed for it to fit. Also, check the tounges on the back of the fuel pump bracked are secured (fitted) properly in the locator.

Err yeah, but why?

Edit: in tank it will be farkin' expensive. You'd really need to put them in a custom surge tank. But again I ask why? The 044 handles up to 700hp on its own. Combined with a smaller pump you might find it harder to control the fuel pressure. If you want to pair them up it's best to use the same pumps.

If one fails you'd never know, unless you had a really keen ear. You'd be better off just carrying a spare of the same type and the tools to fit it, if you were really worried about pump failure on the road.

The "surging" noise happens because Skylines have a variable resistor for the pump. When 100% fuel pressure is not required ie at idle or light cruising, it increases the resistance and the fuel pump slows down. 

With the PowerFC it seems to vary this a lot more between simply "on" or "off" like the factory ECU does. It also seems to want to vary a lot even when just idling, so the noise becomes a bit more annoying and "groaning" kinda because it dips up and down rather than just clicking between high and low pressure like with the factory ECU.

Joel, if your pump does the same noisy thing when hot then I guess they all do it. Design flaw maybe?

Ive noticed this with my 32...Anything below around 2800rpm, u get the shit groaning noise on/off. Though reving higher I never get it. Is there anything that can be easily changed? I get pretty much the same noises on empty or full.

So you have the pump mounted externally?

Originally my pump was mounted directly the chassis and petrol tank. I used to be able to feel the vibrations at my feet when driving through the floor pan.

I have since rubber mounted it and the noise can still be heard all though it is now heaps quieter & the vibrations have totally gone.

Before you get under the car take it to a car wash place and hit it with the high pressure hose up inbetween the diff and petrol tank other wise you will have lots of dirt and junk in your eyes by the end of the mod.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
