There's a bloke called Phat32 who wrote into the group buys section who says he can get them for $325.

There hasn't been many reponses though - don't think many people want to go as big as an 044.

I thought you could mount a 044 internally - have read on a few of the forums here about blokes mounting them in tank - looks like it's a bit of a hassle as they're pretty big but can be done???

Anyway - if anyone here has got any practical experience in fitting one of these please enlighten us!

Cheers

edit:

Just did a search and yes, quite a lot of people have mounted 044's in tank.

I can get them to you for $310 each. Dunno how I'd go asking for a group buy, but I can't see the problem. Takes like three days to get them in. I have fitted the 040 in tank with no probs. Takes like half an hour once you pop the boot. I will also do installs for $50 if anyone is interested.

and before anyone starts asking questions...these pumps retail for $525.

and it would cost you around $80-$100 to get them installed(unless of course you do it yourself).

I am also a mechanic in case anyone was worried.

I have done several of these pump installs with no come backs.

Gidday,

Surely we can get 10 skyliners in the Brissy area to get these pumps.

I know what you mean by postage etc - it'd be a lot easier if everyone could just pick up and pay - no stuffing around with banking/postage.

Cheers!

won't make any difference unless your existing one is rooted..

About all I noticed was a tiny bit better throttle response, although this could have been my imagination.

installed another pump literally an hour ago.. although that one was a walbro which is tiny. Its an easy process (even easier in R32 as well!)

Are the walbro units any good??

:D

Well I'd actually go Bosch.. unless you really want to save money to spend on other things (like me). Walbro is fine for 250rwkw or so apparently. You hear conflicting reports though on how good they are. At $180 or whatever I paid, worth trying for a while.

From another forum.. there were some walbros for $160. I just bought one for 165 from someone I knew in up in brissy. :D

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
