Hi,

Does anyone have a picture of a bosch 040 pump in an R33GTS-T cradle?

A friend of mine has his car in the workshop and they have called him to say that the 040 wont fit and he needs to have a surge tank installed.

I want to go down there with a picture and tell them what to do, i have already printed out the DIY guide someone posted up for a different bosch pump.

Thanks,

Jono.

I got a 040 in my R33 GTST. Dont have any pics, but mine is stuck on to the cradle using cable ties, and practically the bottom section, where the old pump sits upon, is cut off so I can have the pump in there... The pump wont pick up some of the fuel on the bottom bottom of the tank, however you can pretty much run it down to the light, ie about 300-320km per tank.

Hope this helps :P

Hi there,

If you do the job properly you should have no low fuel problems - the 044 pictured we installed in my r33 and I get well over 500k's to a tank.

Have a look, there's plenty of threads about this and a 044 install guide in the diy section.

Bugger of a job though.

Why not just put it inline? You won't need a surge tank unless you go racing.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
