Is it worth the hassel? Someone just pmed me saying the following: These pumps are a pain to fit up. They need the factory bracket cut off and then the pump is clamped to the bracket. Factory steel fuel pipe has to be removed from the bracket too. The height on the bracket is critical or the pump won't suck all the fuel, car will conk out on 1/4 tank. You have to do this just right too or the clamps will foul inside the tank, even then the pump body is a bit too large to fit easily and heaps of force is needed to get it on and off the bracket's slot again. I modified a hose barb (removed the barbs) and then the stock sock pushed over nice and tight. Wiring needs to be altered as the terminals are much larger than factory. Make sure you don't get positive and negative back to front. The pump is supposed to have a non-return valve on the outlet. Usually this costs another $30. If you run it without the valve (as I did in the photos) the fuel drains back to the tank overnight and you have to do a few key on-offs to prime the rail in order to start the engine. Gets annoying so I pulled the pump, bought and fitted the valve. This then needed a touch up of the tune, car had some lean spots as the valve is very restrictive. The 044 is very, very noisy, usually because it's touching some part of the tank inside. This is so hard to get correct as it's a bastard of a job to remove and re-try I'll never buy another 044 but back then the other options weren't so readily available as they are today. Tomei etc make a drop in pump, no hassles. Regards.

Hey guys Heading a different route with the car Looking to sell the 044 I just purchased and got delivered 2 days ago. Looking for $190 pm me

Haha Just smash it out and make it highflow Sweet I'll have a look around now for a cat

Hey guys, Anyone got some tips or ideas for mounting the 044 as an intank pump? Searched the forum and only for one article about it where a guy used an EB falcon fuel sock attached to it I can't find a fuel sock anywhere no shops stock them or anything. Ideas would be great Thanks

Hahaha farrrkeeennn heaven

Vernier calipers? I don't even know why that is so I doubt it Lol

Just checked the prices so all good. I'm going for the Ss1pu just for the reasponse + less strain on everything to pull a figure like 250rwkw Thanks for the help now I just gotta start saving the coin

Good for my future 250kw highflow?

How much are we talking for SS1PU? Also is it a simple bolt on or do I have to mod a few things? Already got a dump pipe

Stock dump or dump dump Because I think it's sump sump

What is my exhaust? Customer dump? Is it called turbo dump to cat or what lol

Where are these SS turbos you guys keep recommending ? I cant find them anywhere on the website

Okay sweet thanks rolls. Have you got the link to the actual turbo? Other then that will it bolt directly on?

Hey guys where abouts is the SS1PU listed on the website? I have been trying to find its prices but cant seem to find it. Also does it bolt straight back onto an R33 RB25 or will I have to have anything customer made? What type of things have to be customer made Thanks

Good luck with the search mate I am going to start looking soon to.

Heard a few guys talking about them and saying how when they got them you could tell they were bad. Really bad soldering etc.

100.1kw of raw power! hahaha sure its not 100.134kw?

Just of around near the turbo or under the car as well?

Haha crap soz Vera totally forgot you had an N/A Do they even need a clutch Joke guys

Tried google to see if there were images I could compare to mine but I can't see to find anything What pics would I need for you guy to help me work it out. If mine is stock then I might do the dump/front before I get my ecu up and running

He said he is looking for something as a daily! Why would he spend more then $1000 on a turbo? HG turbo is direct bolt back on..no need to change dump or anything

Exedy triple plate is what I'm running it's good and stiff Don't know how much they set you back but

ESP

You failed miserably unfortunately.. No way a new turbo, ecu + tune would cost this much. Maybe if you went top of the line everything which he doesn't want to do. Turbo = $900-1000 ECU = $600 - $1600 Tune = $500 - $800 Total = $3400 for something like Power FC, 250-270kw hypergear turbo, tune Total = $2000 for something like Nistune ECU, Hypergear turbo 230kw + tune = 220kw max with stock injectors
