Hey guys any help here would be appreciated. I did a search but didnt find what i was after.

What is the going price for a bosch 040 pump and where is the best place to get them from. I was hoping to get it locally if possible. I tried a mate at repco and he said he could get me a 044 at employee price for $460, they dont normally stock the 040 but they said they would ring bosch and see what they could do for me, havent heard from them yet.

Thanks.

Just picked up a new Bosch 040 for $240. Just wanted to say thanks, if ya guys hadnt informed me i probably would have paid $460 for the 044. I could have got the 044 for $340 from the same guy if i wanted to but i think the 040 will be fine. Cheers.

044 is for external use, the 040 is for in tank use

The 044 will only flow as much as the 040 when mounted in tank, but will flow more when used as a extrenal pump as it was designed to do

best if you are chasing big power (350rwkw) would be to use your stock pump as a feeder for a 044, or better still get a small surge tank setup

From what I have been told, the 040 in tank pump is good for 300rwkw

Going by what I have been led to believe anyway...........

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
