I have an 040, it was a pretty simple job, you just need to get a hose clamp to hold it onto the pump cradle base. I haven't had any changes to my fuel consumption which would lead me to believe my A/F ratio hasn't changed.

:D hey i got an o44 in mine just need a big hose clamp and a few speed flow fittings to addapt a sock to the pick up and a dash 6 right angle to the out let so it will clip into the base properly again. if you stuff it up i have 2 spare cradles in my shed . also got a r32 gtr pump which will go in to if you dont wanna modify anything .cheers bernard.

isnt the 044 a direct fit?

Nope, not a direct fit - I bought one and it couldn't be fitted. I've compared it to the standard factory pump, and the 044 is almost double the size.

Best bet is (probably) a Walbro upgrade pump or the Nismo pump - at least they'll come a lot closer to being a direct fit. The Walbro, if purchased from Unique Autosports, comes with a fitting kit to make it easier.

just be careful with the walbro, make sure they check flow all the way up to redline. I put one in and it ran out of flow up high, very dangerous - and have heard of others having this problem too.

nick, I am surprised they couldn't fit the 044, maybe take it to someone a little more creative/adventurous.

I have a dyno sheet and the AFR's stayed nice and stable all the way through, so the Walbro looks to be doing its job. The car dropped 10kW at the wheels because it now receives the right amount of fuel, but at least I won't have to worry about issues with leaning out.

I was surprised they couldn't put in either, Duncan! It IS a fair bit bigger, as I mentioned (I will post photos comparing the 044 to the factory unit), but I assumed they would have taken that into account and sort something out. Oh well...

Oh, have you got a PFC for yours yet, and if so which one (R33 or R34)?

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
