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

Please explain......

Is this true? Why would mounting it internal make a difference to flow??

Is this true? Why would mounting it internal make a difference to flow??

I would explain if I knew for sure, I am just passing on what I have been told

I have been told by alot of people, and the guy that sold me my pump, Mick at Tilbrooks etc

Have you seen either of the pumps? The 040 has a large filter/strainer at the bottom, the 044 has a small inlet for fuel hose, which people then attach a strainer too with a short length of hose, this must restrict it somewhat. I think when the 044 has to suck fuel up from the tank, and then pressurize it, and then pump it under pressure to the fuel rail it doesn't flow what its rated at. When it recieves constant flow from a surge tank or a small lift pump etc it will then perform to its rated flow, and out-perform the 040

I think its just a matter of using them for there intended purpose. In tank, the 040 is best suited and works well, and when mounted in tank the 044 works well, but apparently will flow the same as a 040 when it is mounted in the tank.

Hope this makes sense, as I am just passing on what I have been told

That said, many people are running in-tank mounted 044's but from what I understand there is no benefit in running the bigger pump unless it is mounted externally and is fed the fuel, rather than having to suck it up

Chris

What I mean is, when it is fed fuel by a helper pump - ie mounted externally out of the fuel tank as it was designed to, it will outflow the 040

When it has to suck fuel up itself, as it does mounted internally, it flows the same as a 040

What I have been told by all the people in the know anyhow

Does anybody know what colour the negative wire is coming off the fuel pump on an R33? I was thinking of doing the relay thing too, does anybody know of any negative effects of using this? anyone got photos of a relay setup?

this whole variable speed pump at idle thing really freaks me out

Chris, perhaps Mick didnt have any 044 pumps in stock at the time? :P

Can't help you out with the colours of the wires Steve

I put the pump in myself, then Mark had to re-wire it and put a relay in for me. This all happend when it was being re-mapped, before the Mick dynasty :D

yeah you can just use the std wiring, but for optimal performance its better to use new stuff, i had my 044 using the std stuff.

Steve just remove the pump and you will see all the wires in the sender and pump, its a easy job on a 32, not sure on the 33s

if you are at full noise and the one and only pump shits itself why wont your motor go bang? pumps normally dont stop they just lose pressure so any failure is not good, so two pump will give a extre chance and with big injectors 700+cc will nearly do the job.

one 044 will support the 600hp no probs but i wonto use two as there are two large fuel lines allreay on the car thanks to nissan and their hicas

remember once tuned any change in pressure will change the amount of fuel going in, so it will make it go bang if left for long enought

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
