Apexi Power FC & Bosch 040 tune - Urgent

Hi All,

I recently purchased an Apexi Power FC and a Bosch 040 fuel pump for my R33 gts-t.

Currently I have 180 rwkw's (without the above items) from the Unigroup Eng. dyno. (mods - full exhaust, boost @ 11 psi, fmic)

I need to know who is currently running an Bosch 040 fuel pump with over 200 rwkw's and what your comments are?

I am about to get the car tuned (very soon). I am being told mixed stories...

Some people say the 040 will handle about 220 rwkw's (which is fine for me) and others say it won't even match the standard gts-t fuel pump.

Any advice would be great.

Best regards

220rwkw = is ~286kw (engine)

286kw = is ~383hp (engine)

The Bosch 040 is rated at 520hp (388kw), thats engine power. The figures below are from this thread

*GTST pump is 135 litres per hour and supports 300 bhp at standard pressure

*GTR pump is 190 litres per hour and supports 420 bhp at standard pressure

*Bosch 910 pump is 200 litres per hour and supports 450 bhp at 73.5 PSI # 0 580 254 910

*Bosch 975 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI # 0 580 254 975

*Bosch 984 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI # 0 580 254 984

*Bosch 044 pump is 330 litres per hour and supports 730 bhp at 73.5 PSI # 0 580 254 044

*Bosch 040 pump is 235 litres per hour and supports 520 bhp at 73.5 PSI # 0 580 254 040

I wish I could find these figures on the Bosch website because last time I was at UAS John looked up a fuel pump guide and the figures were slightly different.

I'm using the 040 and have no problems with it, only running ~186rwkw tho (was 203rwkw on the Unigroup Dyno).

Thanks Ben,

Those figures are very different to the Bosch site which has the the 040 fuel pump rated to flow only 102 ltrs per hour (or something close to that). I understand that this is a concervative figure from Bosch and also not tested with fuel.. but that is a big difference.. 100 to 235 ltrs per hour..

I would like to know if any one else uses this pump with out any hassles..

It's just that Unigroup seem to think I am going to run into problems with an 040...

Best regards

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
