Bosch 044

as long as you mount it so that there is no metal on metal contact the noise is fairly sedate.

Awesome, cheers for the info!!!

I got a 040 fitted as low as I possibly could in my tank. Ran it to the warning light and it was still fine. That was because I had to not because I wanted to. I never let fuel drop below quater to half anyway.

Looks like you got it setup right. Should be much easier to slide in than the 040 with the modded bracket. f**k I hope I never have to go through that again. Its so hot inside the fuel tank and when it doesn't slide into place, the frustration kicks in.

I still don't understand why you would go to all the trouble to mount such a large bodied pump in there with all the extra frigging around when the price and availability of in-tank pumps is so good these days compared to 7-10 years ago.

So I can be original

044 intank is win, it was very easy to do i dont know why anybody has problems, hardest part was opening the lid and cleaning the fuel sender which is a must do when you have the tank open

Make sure that plastic shit you put around your pump is fuel safe. If that shit deteriorates in your fuel tank... What I did is slice up some spare fuel house and put that around the pump to act as a vibration suppressor.

I went to Clark rubber today and picked up some stuff to wrap it in and triple checked that it was fuel safe.

Just gotta find the nozzle that winds into the bottom of the 044 then I will be pretty much set

Going to make a walk through for everyone

[Stevoss]

its exactly the same to the 040 except you put a barb fitting in the rail end and the filter sock on the feed end.

Very helpful pics from TiTAN

Thanks

I ended up selling it for $10 more then I got it

Going to wait for all my other upgrades to show up then I will do it all at once

Might just go a walbro or nismo direct fit

Direct fit all the way. It is no fun when you have to trial fit the thing half a dozen times to make sure the cradle is seated all the way home, the pump/bracket/clamps aren't fouling on the tank, and the sock is as low as possible in the tank... I was happy with the end result but it took some work.

Unsure with the Nismo or Tomei pumps, but with the 044 there was a significant improvement from upgrading the power feed to the pump. Stock wiring just couldn't do the job.

[Manuel Kasko]

Hmm some good info there thats good

I heard about someone nearly doubling fuel pressure by simply runnning 14v

Funny reading this thread again.

Nothing wrong with a direct fit makes life easy. Wish I could have a direct fit in the BMW running twin walbro pumps is not fun to set up

had this issue with the bosch 040 which is suppose to be a intank version? had to remove/retry/refit 3 times.

ended up getting fuel cut issue below 1/2 - 1/4 tank even tho the pump was mounted as far down as possible, ended up getting rid of it and replaced with a walbro, and never have been happier, so much quieter too!

if i had the coin, i'd choose a nismo pump anyday.

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah I sadly miss judged the situation I was in.

Not a single place would sell me something that I could use to connect the sock to the pump without it breaking down in petrol.

The guy who is tuning my car is going to install a walbro for me at the same time so all good.

zomg. I'm sure I wrote an article about this awhile ago for a GTR: wait, here it is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/111401-bosch-044-intank-r32-gtr/page__hl__gtr+044

Basically: the 044 is fine in fuel (mine's still in the tank and going strong); fitting isn't unreasonably hard for the flow; but there are reasonably-priced drop in replacements like nismo or tomei available now

that will get you close for similar money without all the fsck arsing around.

If you are considering Walbro and high HP you should check its flow at your required rail pressures like 65+psi (i.e. 38psi rail + 27+ psi boost) because you might be unpleasantly surprised at the falloff.

I've got a 044 mounted in-tank and though it's a bit of a squeeze to get in, didn't really have any trouble at all.

The sock attachment can be brought from some company down here in Melbourne. Can't remember the name but if you give Sabbadin Automotive a call and let him know what it is you're after, he'll be able to sort you out
