Okay, i did a search but came up a bit empty handed as what i found was mostly 044 related.

I have noticed at the bottom of my 040 that it is flat with a screen. There is no provision to thread a barb fitting into so as to attach the original pick up. I have noticed that 044 have this provision,

I havent removed the original pump from my car yet, i wanted to make sure i had it all figured before i attempted

Should i just throw it in with what is provided or is there some way to attach original pick up that im not aware of? Any comments from those that have fitted 040?

Any help appreciated.

i think the boys made a custom barbed fitting for the pump as i use one of these pumps in my gtr as a lift pump.very easy to fit after that with the use of a hose clamp

On the std R32 bracket assembly there is a bottom plate that sits under and supports the std pump. I cut that flat section off, then using Stainless Steel hose clamps i fastened the bigger 040 fuel pump to the std bracket.

Using a bit of fuel hose i connected the new pump to the suction line of the bracket, which needed to bb trimmed back about 25mm (just measure it up, but it does need to be trimmed back a little)

I set the gauze of the new pump to sit 15mm from the deck of the tank (im not sure if this height is optimum...mine seems to sound as though it suxks a bit of air from time to time...or perhaps its too close and doing the vacuum cleaner trick and suckign to the tank bottom, but i think its more likely air, the tank and mount are too rigid top be getting that close)

But with using the stainless clamps the height can be easily changed if need be.

Also because the return line returns right near the gauze pick up, when my tank got a little low then it used to aerate the fuel, which made the pump suck a bit of air and be a little noisy from time to time. Simple fix is to attach some fuel line to the return line and divert the retuen away from the suction of the pump.

Oh and the terminal sizes are different to, so you will need to buy some bigger terminals for wiring it up...and last tidbit of info is be careful not to stretch the std o-ring around the top of the tank too much, as mine was old and has strecthed so that it is a few mm too big to seal properly.

Yhea like roy said, make sure you get the height correct from the deck. originally mine sounded like it sucked air when the tank was low and on a couple of occasions when going up a steep hill and giving it some gas, it would give a quick jerk (obviously not getting any fuel. so get the height right and its a piece of cake to fit.

It might be a piece of cake to fit......but how do you reatach it and the sender back to the car. I did the swap allright , incidently the "ugraded" pump in situ is apparrantly a VN pump it's about 2/3 the size of the stocky and just couldn't hack it. I spent about 2 hours trying to fit the pump back in but just couldn't figure it out so they are just sitting in there ( the way they were when I opened the tank up)

Got the 040 pump through my local Aussie Auto for $290 Alderly store, 2 hours from phone order to pick up.

addit: Incidently the 040 fuel outlet contains a one way valve, even if you remove this the inside diameter of the outlet is only about 3.2mm. I assume everyone does as I did and threw the whole thing away replacing it with an outle inside diam 8mm. Maybe this is why SydneyKids quoted output is so much higher than the Bosch site's figures

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
