ive had a bit of a look and so far can only find very vague info on fuel pumps.

i thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where people can post details in particular what pump they use, whether it be in-tank, in-line or custom setup, along with a brief rundown of their engine specs and what power/torque figures they're getting from it. then it gives a good reference guide to others looking to upgrade their fuel pump.

while we're on the topic ive got a spare bosch pump lying around. part no. 0580 254 019 and i cant find any info on it. im currently running a walbro GSS341/342 does anyone know which would be the better one?

How much power are you looking for your fuel system to hold up? But yeah the first stage would be a borsch 040 or 044 but if you got abit more coin to spend and want a direct bolt in pump go the nismo but yeah its double price.

Put the Bosch in and throw the Walbro in the bin.

Bosch 044 - intank, stock type sock filter setup, rewired, RB30DET, 250rwhp, soon to be 500rwhp (have seen the exact same pump setup support 580hp @ hubs)

Isnt 044 external? I thought 040 is the intank one.

Technically yes, but you can make them intank.

040's also have an integral pickup (which I'm not a fan of) whereas the 044 you can use a sock filter setup like the stock pumps.

    • 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
