Mine has just died again. A long story but now I need another pump. Would an R31/VL RB30 pump fit?????

They sure do fit! They are pretty much identical.

I have even fitted a bosch 044 in the factory position!

Will an R31/VL keep up with my RB20, it has around 165rwkw? or do I bite the bullet and go a 044?

Naturally I want to get out of this as cheap as possible.

r31 is a internal pump so no good. vl fits straight in there (i have 1) and will b fine for the rb20. vl pump runs the rb30et (same pump N/A and turbo) up to 170ish rwkw i think

If my memory serves me correctly the vl turbo pump is an 070.

Will do the job for an rb20. I just went the 044 so know im not gonna be running short of fuel.

Hi,

the 070, 044 numbers, does the numbers represent litres per minute ?

its the last three numbers in the model/part number for that pump.

if its not the last three its the first three but im pretty sure its the last three numbers.

has nothing to do with rate of flow.

my mate has a stock vl pump on his RB30et setup.... pushing 190kW at the rears.... through VLt turbo injectors (270cc i think)

is pretty much maxed out

the R31 pump is an internal one, and the VL one is external.

Vl pumps are cheap at the wreckers, just check the km on the dash before pulling one out of a 380,000km wreck...

also give it a really good flush and clean before useing it... hookup wires and run a few litres of fuel through it into a bucket etc...

it may be worth getting a Repco? Ryco? clear plastic high flowing fuel filter too.... then change it in a month or something to see if its full of residue etc

OR you can get new bosch or walbro units for $150 from bursons etc
