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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
