James, what it comes down to is:

how much you can afford to spend

whether you'll be putting it in yourself

how much power

if so, how good are you at modifying to fit

if not, how good is your mechanic

Basically, what it comes down to, is that the tomei and nismo variants are designed to be straight bolt in. In terms of straight bolt in, I mean literally, comes with everything down tot he last hose clamp, tank gasket, brackets, everything.

I personally like the tomei/nismo pumps, and with the aussie dollar at its all time high, the price is cheaper than ever before. I remember when I first got my car, to get a nismo pump, you were looking at about $800 (less parts people back then too, so they charged whatever they liked).

If you don't mind fabricating stuff, you could fit something like a bosch 044 intank, or run a lift pump and use an 044 externally.

Ok thanks for that, with the future mods i should make around 400rwkw. What type of fabricating is involved with installing the 044 if they are an external pump. When i pulled out my pump it seems to be a nismo brand with the brackets or are the brackets already standard.

Well, the standard pump has a bracket. :laugh:

It's not hard to install an 044 in tank. You just have to modify that bracket, mount it onto that bracket, and squeeze it into the tank (the pump's quite large, so it'll need some maneuvering, but you shoudl eventually be able to get it in without it resting on the bottom of the tank (otherwise it'll be really noisy).

i think you may have the 044 mixed up with the 040.

nismo - 311 aud from greenline... and i was about to go through nengun!

yeah, well, I made the mistake of buying the nismo from nengun - $400 for it, and it took 6 weeks. They decided to send it after a few abusive emails.

Then the prick got smart with me!

Nengun = lose

Greenline = win

Nismo pump = double win

check out the excellent quality.

Came with an eom style bracket, new o ring for the access cap, and all sorts of shit. NO assembly is required.

The Bosch 910 pump is only rated to flow ~400hp. If thats all your after then throw a walbro in.

Walbro's are good pumps for low power levels but start pushing 450+hp and don't mess around and throw in either a Bosch 044 or Tomei/Nismo pump.

All bosch pumps can be mounted in tank with only slight modifications.

Generally....

Bosch 910, 200 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 220 rwkw

Bosch 975, 228 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 250 rwkw

Bosch 984, 228 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 250 rwkw

Bosch 040, 235 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 260 rwkw

Bosch 044, 330 l/hr @ 5 bar (73.5psi), supports 360 rwkw

'Apparently' running a check valve on the 044 helps prevent cavitation and keep it quiet.

Not sure where you got those figures from but they are different to what I have especially the flow rates at those pressures. But your calculations on supporting horsepower is wrong. 200l/hr = 3.33L/min of fuel flow therefore you would need 6 555cc/min injectors to use all the fuel which places the power output at around 550hp using a BSFC of 0.55.

The biggest thing you've got to remember is that as the pressure drops the flow rates go up substantially - more so with bosch pumps.

Thanks manwhore and the others for the advice. It will come down to the Sard and the Nismo pump.

And NENGUN i have never heard a good thing about there customer service very slow postage and no after sales service.

Hey mate that set up looks different to mine, my pump was clamped on and sat towards the end of the bracket with the sock pretty much attached to the pump.

Yeah, that sounds like an original bracket with either the standard pump, or an upgrade pump (bosche or GTR) clamped down the bottom

Heap of pics comparing original/upgrade pump here:

I decided to have a mechanic install my bosch 040 today, he modifyed the cradle etc then went to install .... told me it cant be done, the o4o is physically larger than stock pump and will not go down far enough to draw fuel out effectivly and i would be forever filling it to make sure there is enogh fuel, all the reading i have done on the 040 says it can be done??????

you need to find a new mechanic.

im a builder and it only took me 10 minutes to install my 044 in tank with a falcon v8 fuel sock and its wisper quiet.

if a mechanic cant install a 040 in the tank then he has issues.

back to trade school for him.

All the hose is fuel rated from pirtek,

with no surging or running out at 1/4 full.

its not a hard mod, yet everyone goes running to the nismo etc.

just make sure you rubber mount the pump

and you can hardly hear it running

044 FTW

I just took a look at the pic, I was un aware that i would need to modify the pump also, down the bottom where the sock is attached, how is this done??? take the mesh of the bottom of the pump and?? Edit: thats an 044 eh?

Are you sure he is mechanic? are sure he is not a downy?

040 Can be done easily, just requires common sense and locating the clamps correctly so they don't hit the edges of the tank.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
