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.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
