Im gonna run a bosch 040 in tank pump with better power wires running to it, and have the option of fitting a 044 helper pump and a surge tank down the track a bit. not sure on the injectors at this stage. how those ecu's going?

Why not just run a 023 and then you dont need the helper

But wouldn't i still need to run one if i have a surge tank?

Honestly unless your having fueling issue's or chasin big HP or thinking of drift/drag then i wouldn't really worry about a surge tank for a daily.

Both the 040/023 would flow enough to support your mods without having the need for a surge tank would it not???

yeah a 040 would have no issues. The R33 tank has almost an inbuilt surge tank anyway, the pump sits in a deeeepppp hollow at the bottom of teh tank. I have had almost no fuel and kaned it arround corners and still no surge.

Dont' forget the 040 flows about 3 times more fuel then standard, so there will not be a problem with flow.

ALSO if you replace the pump and run higher pressures, i would replace ALLL the fuel hoses and new clamps and a new BIGER filter.

I didn't change 3 hoses, and they split, so it's a good insurance. Scott at Purple pig will help you out there.

YEP the 040 would be fine, to be on the safe side then go the 023 (flow more but same size) and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

As Wog said change all your hoses and clamps as well cause it can/has/will come back to bite you
