Mate, if you don't want more than 250rwkw I'd go the walboro.

Something I don't really like about them is they're smaller than the stock pump??

This is what other people have said though- don't take my word on that as I've never see one in the flesh. This might not mean anything though as walboro'd have to be newer technology than the stock ten year old skyline pumps.

I'm going the bosch though - extra 150 bucks but gives more headroom for future mods.

If you want to know the flow rates on bosch pumps just do a bosch 044 search.

There's a few posts there that show the flow rates of all the bosch pumps.

Of the top of my head the 044 is good for 730 hp

Cheers!

I can get them for $300 as single or group buy.

The Bosch 040 is rated to 400hp and will flow 195 litres per hour

The 044 is rated to 600hp and will flow around 250 litres per hour which is like 4 litres per minute.

The 040 I can get cheaper than the 044 obviously.

I have heard of the 044 supplying 700 hp

If anyone wants them, they have to come from Melbourne so they take three days. I will pick them all up on the same day or if you want to buy away from the group...PM me.

I don't have enough in my piggy bank to buy all of them so an arrangement will have to be made. I don't mind if you come with me to pick them up. I am honest :P

Cudbee has purchased things from me before. However you guys wanna organise it and whichever way suits everyone. But I will only be paying cash for them unless you trust me with your card and PIN. Which I doubt. Coz I don't have a machine. Please understand.

Anyway, that's the end of the story.

Put me down for an 044. So how many people do we have now?

Not too many yet!

Me: 1

Del Sol :1

R33 Steve: Maybe two

Col Gtsx:Maybe three

Paragon: Interested

Strutto:Semi interested

GR33dy: Interested

Might be because x-mas is just around the corner!

Anyway - I'm willing to pay the $310 for the 044.

Just give us a date!

Cheers!

That's the thing...you guys organise between yourselves what date you want and money and all that stuff.

I will have to point a couple of things out.

Even though I am an honest person.....I have never done a large buy like this before and am not sure I feel comfortable with all that trust on my shoulders.

I need to know if you want an 044 or an 040.

Is there a mediator that might be able to hold the money until delivery.

Maybe Nismogirl would be a good candidate...sorry if you're reading this Erin as I am 2 seconds from asking you.

The 044's are $300 each

and don't quote me on this but the 040 I can get for $250...maybe cheaper. It will depend on demand for them as to whether I get a price for them or not.

Please give me a fair indication how many people are ACTUALLY interested as I will need an approximate figure to tell Erin.

That's all for now.

Ok, Paragon and Del sol, are you in Brisbane or relatively close by?

If so, location please. Suburb or whatever.

And a contact number.

Looks like the 20th will be the date as GTST25 will be receiving his on this date.

I am going to have to organise a location to meet Paragon and Del sol before this date or on this date. (I'm not even sure what day it is yet). Doesn't really matter. I can pick them up on any day. All pumps don't have to be picked up on the same date if it is not convenient for you. But close to it would be preferable.

One last note...please don't stuff me around. If you have said DEFINATE in your post then I will be ordering on the fact that you definately want one. I don't want to have to fork out money because someone pulls out at the last second. Coz I will be most upset about having another one.

These will be DEFINATELY Bosch 044 pumps in their box sealed and everything.

From my experience though, you may have to go to the hardware to get a 5mm and a 6mm nut for the terminals as Bosch in their infinite wisdom, don't supply them for their own pumps.

So far I have GTST25, Del Sol and Paragon.

At $300 a pump I would have thought people would be clawing at each other to get them. Obviously not.

Quickly people..20th approaches fast. I will be ordering them on the 15th so any stragglers can come in before then.

Don't worry everyone. You can still get one after this date...it'll just be $350

(which is still friggin cheap I might add)

Plus I can still get the 040's pretty cheaply too if you can't afford the 044.

Hey,

I live on the sunshine coast so driving to Brisbane isn't an option at the moment.

I am a definite on the 044 pump though, I need it for my GTR.

Here are my postal details, if you want and have the time you can do a cash on delivery at any post office.

P.O. Box 661

Thanks

    • 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. 🤞
