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.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
