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 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

  • 4 weeks later...

I 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.

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.

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.

Cheers,

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 :cheers:

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
