ok i was in the market for a new pump,

so i was checking up the specs of pumps that forum users have for sale

one guy quotes the 040 as flowing 200ltrs per hr,

however if you check out the fact sheet on the bosch site it only flows 102ltrs per hr

interesting read....

in the end i went with the 975 for my slightly modified 33

[if this is a repost sorry]

Bosch use 'N-Heptane' to measure flow rates as opposed to petrol, which has different viscosity and density (hence different flow rates)

Plus voltage to the pump will affect flow..and the pressure you're putting through the system.

etc etc etc.

When it comes down to it though the 040 has been tested and can handle more power than the standard GTST pump.

i am disputing teh fact that it wont handle the power,

i am just saying that people are saying the wrong things when they sell the part

all flow rates for the 044 seem to be quoted correctly when people are selling pumps, be it heptane voltage ampage issues aside.

just a thought

interesting note from that other thread was that stock power to the stock pump is not good,

i can back this up.

i jave killed 2 040's and one walbro in my car cause the power to it was not constant and good,

each time i would put the stock one back in and have no worries at all.

anyway new relay power system for teh new pump is now being done properly by a machanic,

DOES SIZE MATTER ON PUMPS?????? I HAVE JUST COMPARE THE STOCK R33 GTST FUEL PUMP AND THE WALBRO 341 PUMP AND IT SEEM THAT THE STOCK IS BIGGER THAN THE WALBRO. IM CONFUSE HOW IS THE WALBRO SUPPOSE TO FLOW MORE THAN THE STOCK. IS THIS A GOOD UPGRADE FOR R33???

ease up on the caps.

size has nothing to do it in terms of a Walbro, they are a screw pump...

Although IMO - i wouldnt be using a walbro. Too many people have had poor results (including myself) based on what they quote, and what they actually flow (which isnt a great deal)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
