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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
