Hey guys

What fuel pump(s) do you guys run?
More in the way of performance and upgraded setups..


Ill be looking at doing my fuel pump setup in the near future, and thought I'd get some feedback on what everyone has used,good/bad etc

Ill be running new lines from tank to the engine, and a surge tank.
As for pumps, originally was thinking of leaving the walbro as a intank feed pump, up to x2 044 bosch externals pumps.

But also think i will look into possibly running one big high flow external pump instead of the 044's

Thoughts, feedback, opinions.

If need fuel pump to be done, and in sydney I'm the man for the job I could help you if needed cheers.

stop spamming dude.

back to OP, really depends On your power goal what setup you run. I would have thought stock internal pump would be fine when used with external pump and surge tank

edit. just read you already have a walbro, so disregard

I use a pro-fab under car surge tank with a insomnia feed pump and 2 044's. 1 feeds into the standard feed line, the other into the retun line and I ran a new return from the FPR to the surge. Pretty budget system as I used MPFI hose and not braided or pushlok.

Ran 1 x 044 and maxed it at around 357rwkw on E85, it was in tank, quiet and reliable...

Now I run a pier burg lift pump, surge tank, twin 044 feeds, twin -6 lines to rail, twin returns via fuel cooler... Epic setup!!

Got pics of the fuel cooler?

Some shitty pics in here mate -

You could have had a squizz yesterday but i was a lazy kent and didnt introduce myself :P

I bought my car with an In-tank Warlbro 255 and an External Bosch 044 in the boot with a surge tank as well. You can hear the pump in the car, but its not annoying, sounds cool imo haha. Car makes 330rwkw, not sure what the limit of the system is as I bought it like this.

If you were going for over 350kw, I'd get a surge tank, lines and lift pump/in-line pumps for the peace of mind.

Otherwise I'd just run a nismo in-tank. Plenty of people making 300kw+ with just that and decent injectors, myself included. Check out ss8gohan's r34 GTR build ;)

okay cool,some really good feedback thanks guys.
seems everyone mostly runs the twin 044's.

no one here ran an aeromotive inline yet?

yeah when its ready it will able to run some decent power, depends how hard i want to push it, but it will defintely be over 350kw without stretching limits.Ive allready got my lines setup at the rail, got them feeding both ends and returning from the middle.

I like the looks of that fuel cooler! good thinking, might look into one of those.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
