Aeromotive stealth

Just got mine $240 from ebay, did free shipping cos I bought it without bidding on Ebay

340lph @ 40psi and 13.5V

I was gonna take some pics of the install but it looks similar in dimentions to a walbro. Chances are I wont be able to do it this weekend either

Yea but why would you run intank, increases the chance of something going wrong, as well as reduced capacity, and more effort ;)

Wut?

I've been running my 044 like that for years now, so has my mate and that single, in-tank 044 is supporting well over 500awhp.

IMO, the 044 in-tank with a stock-type sock filter setup is way better than the 040 with integral pickup, and the 044 flows more.

that looks like a good pump @ 340lph :)

have u fitted it as yet & are the dimensions similar to that of the oem gtr pump?

there are 3 versions of the 'stealth' so which is the right pump? would it be the 'centre inlet', 'offset inlet' or 'offset inlet/inline'

a few other q's:

1. stevo - the A1000 has serious flow (800lph @ 40psi), do u know if it fits in the tank of an r32?

2. pierburg pumps have also been recommended, do they flow as much as the aeromotive pumps as i cannot locate a website representing pierburg pumps?

3. the 'stealth' is rated @ 340lph on 40psi, what fuel pressure would the gtr run at high rpm/load? reason i ask, flow drops significantly @ 250lph on 75psi (as per attached flow chart) whereas the bosch 044 flows 200lph @ 5bar = 72.5psi

Marko, fuel pressure isn't rpm dependant, it boost dependant. Our systems are 3bar systems, if you're then running 2bar of boost then the fuel pressure will be 5bar at full boost :thumbsup:

ok.

so my calculations should be based on something closer to 5bar fuel pressure as im running 21psi

My calculations are based on 5bar moving forward & here are my options...

1. Bosch 044: 200lph @ 5bar (more info: http://www.bosch.com.au/content/language1/downloads/fuelpumps.pdf)

2. Pierburg E3L series (700228510): 330lph @ 5bar (more info http://www.compsystems.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106:pierburgefp&catid=2:ecu&Itemid=14)

3. Aeromotive A1000: 700lph @ 5bar (more info: http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/fuel-pumps/11101-a1000-fuel-pump/)

4. Aeromotive Stealth: 250lph @ 5bar (more info: http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/fuel-pumps/11140-340-stealth-fuel-pump-center-inlet/)

My concern with the aeromotive A1000 is if i can make it fit in the oem fuel pump cradle as it looks massivein comparison to the other pumps, there no dimensions available...

Pierburg flows 66% more than my 044 which is awesome...will the pierburg support 450awkw?

what are peoples thoughts?

thanks in advance :)

The Pierburg is very long and thin, like two Walbro's end to end.

The A1000 is around 3.5 inches round and 6 inches long as I remember. It can be mounted intank apparently but it is single speed, there are similar pumps around with variable speed to stop the fuel heating so much. These require -8 fittings and hoses at least for their rated output apparently.

Best and cheapest option is twin Walbro's cost and price wise, may not be the most reliable though but thats what I went for.

Wut?

Designed as an external pump. Not saying it won't be fine, just saying it isn't what it was designed for :)

So? An 044 internal is fine, I use one and control it with Vipec. Stop posting crap.

The 044 doesn't have an open end like the 023 and 040....so you clamp a sock on the bottom of the pump and solve the problem.

how did u set up your twin walbro's? any pics?

The M35 pump is similar to the 350z, it sits under the rear seat. One Walbro and -6 line for each rail running ID1000's, non return valves before the reg should let me know if one pump fails so as not to run lean.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
