Bosch 040

[R338OY]

How much power can the 040 handle until it's maxed?

Did a search and couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

[Chris_A31]

around 300rwkw

[R338OY]

Sweet thanks.

I'm running a stock turbo but i'm likely to upgrade, so looks like i can keep running the 040. I'll be picking it up in the morning

BTW anyone got reviews of the 040? I was told it isn't the best pump in the world. For the price does it deliver?

[Chris_A31]

I'm running one in my cefiro.. hasn't missed a beat yet, its loud though.. nothing really to worry about, you get used to it

[R338OY]

Yeh i've heard loud pumps, sounds like a bee hive under the car

I can live with it (i hope), the exhaust might drown it out a little.

As long as it works hard 24/7 what's the diff.

[Chris_A31]

mine is sorta resting on the bottom of the tank which makes it louder, when the fuel gets hot on a hot day you can really hear it outside the car, buzzing its ass off. it'll be fine mate. FWIW the walbro pumps are quieter but who cares when you got a decent exhaust anyway

[r33cruiser]

it is pretty loud, but not unbearable.

yea they are supposedly rated to 400hp. they are only loud when priming, and i can only just hear it on idle when i blip the throttle when the stereo is off.

but overall it gives great bang for buck.

5/5

but 3/5 for its power capability

Ive had issues with mine, and am taking it back to the workshop to try a different pump as i have had starting issues ever since installing the 040. it holds fuel pressure fine though and has no trouble holding sub 12 afr's on full boost, but starting the car sometimes sucks!

[R338OY]

If i can only 'just' hear it at idle i can live with that. Anything more though and i'd probably get pissd.

Hey! I hope i don't get starting issues. My mate has one and recommends it, never had starting issues. Did you install it yourself and stuff it up? Hehe

[r33cruiser]

yea mate....seriously all u will hear is a buzz and hiss on priming.

and other than that u cant hear it.

i only heard it because i was REALLY listening for it.

but its not like 90db or anything..

no one will be like , WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAR DUDE.

I got one for my R32 GTR, but swapped it and another $200 for a sard. The 040 didnt fit into the nicely engineered cradle, so i would have lost fuel pickup depth and sound/vibration isolation if i had used it. The car already surges on 1/4 tank at the track... For GTS-T YMMV.

The nismo 275lph pump comes with its own cradle and touches the very bottom of the tank.

It shits all over any bosch.

Oh, and its quiet - I can't hear it at all.

[R33silverS2]

na didn't install myself had it done professionally by a workshop then checked by another workshop as i was sceptical of the install and they have said it was installed fine

[GeeTR]

Nismo bolt ins, are for gurls lol

For the cost of em, you'd want them to be quiet (undoubtedly they use a fuel resistant insulation, like factory)

Bought it today from CRD. Will be fitting it over the weekend. I'll post comments if anything interesting happens.

I agree with you, the gtst will never surge like a GTR so i think it should be fine. Plus my car won't see the track that much.

You're right but for half the price i think it's a good compromise.

Ok dude, you're a mix between paranoid and OCD.

Lol. I'll agree with that one, only cause it makes me look tougher
