I have just searched and read up on fuel pump upgrades to suit, but not really discovered if a standard GTR pump (R34 to be exact) will suit 300-330awkw??

The only two options it seems is the expensive Nismo replacement, or the 044 that requires modification of the cradle and various fittings. Would like to know if the standard item is up to the task to avoid uneccessary mods. Anyone done it??

Yeah that is the right approach for sure, but the Nismo item is $500+, and the bosch is cheap but requires some hacking, CAN be noisey, surge, etc.

Just thought if the 34 item is a decent one to hold to it.

Installation of a bosch pump is hardly rocket science mate :ermm:

It is a very easy job, 30mins should easily see it done.

Installed correctly there should be little noise and certainly no surging.

theres also the walbro pump at around $160-180 which from my understanding requires no modification and flows the same as the 040

No where near the same mate.

A pump over HALF the size of another logically could not do that.

Numbers below (thread on this just last week)

Bosch pumps are not noisy at all when installed correctly, and the performance between the two is not the same. You only really need to put them side by side to see why, but here are some facts all the same:

Below figures are with 13.5v pump supply.

Bosch 044 pump is 330 litres per hour and supports 730 bhp at 73.5 PSI (0 580 254 044)

Walbro 255 "high pressure" is 56 gallons/211 litres per hour at 70 PSI (GSS340)

Speaks for itself. An 044 intank fitting I find is just as easy as the walbro, I have done both.

Ok my arm is twisted, 044 it is. Thanks guys.

I wasn't saying that it will surge or be noisey for sure, i mentioned CAN be in first post based on some feedback others had posted.

BTW, i had a walbro with rewired power source in my old mid 11sec GSR for nearly 5yrs and it never missed a beat. Granted it was noisey as all fark, especially after a long drive!!

The Nismo \ Tomie is about $380. It comes on its own bracket, and has its own sock and plug. 285lph at 75psi.

You simply pull the old pump out, and drop the new one on its bracket in. Fits like factory. You can feel the sock press up against the bottom of the tank.

My nismo is completely silent too.

Worth the extra $$$ IMO.

FACEPALM!!!

He wrote about a 040 compared with a Walbro 255l/hr HP which have similar flow rates, you changed it somehow to comparing it with a 044...

Then you talk about it being half the size and not being able to flow similar because of physical size... NEWS FLASH: A 040 is also the same size of a 044, does this mean that they can only flow similar volumes?!?

Time to delete the internets, it's already filled with enough heros with bad advice :(

To the OP... there is nothing wrong with a Walbro GSS-342 for your predicted power. They are cheap and will flow enough, are very reliable, easy to install and are a lot less noisey than a Bosch

^ Nice story that.

So anyway, what was that about facepalms?

So what does the actual size of the pump have to do with it.

Yes the 040 and 044s are twice the size of a walbro but isnt the walbro the same size as a stock pump.

So i guess the walbros flow the same as a stock pump based on that theory.

having said all that the walbro pump will flow your power figure easily.

Yeah they may not flow the same as an 044 but they fit a hell of better into the standard cradle and are barely noticable noise wise.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
