What do ppl think is the best option for a 32 gtst, rb20 with a vg30. Looking for over 210rwkw.

I know these types of pumps are what most ppl are going for but which is better?

Is there anything I should know? Are they easy to install?

Help me, i'm "fuel pump" challenged.

I had a bosch 040 in my car before i upgraded to a nismo. It held up fine with 230rwkw and im sure the could take a lot more, mine was just held in with a hose clamp. I still got it laying around if decide to go for one.

i have a Bosch 040 in my car atm

it works a treat till on a hot day....the fuel level if it drops below 1/4 tank the car starts to starve

on a cold winters night i have gone below E so..must have something to do with the weather

its not that loud either and yes they can handle more power...bang for buck i say

If i where you i'd be throwing that pump in the bin before you lose your motor.

I use an 040 as a lift pump on my 1000hp drag car...no problems with fueling even on the hottest of track days and i only ever have a maximum of 20litres in the tank.

fine as a lift pump......don't know how far you'd go as a stand alone which is what these kids are after me thinks

Im going a twin 044 set up with a custom surge tank in a perspex box in my boot shortly. Iv'e already got a nismo pump for a lift pump. Should be all ok for 450-500 i hope.

BTW if your after Bosch pumps check the group buy section. Both 040 and 044 are $220 del. That's where im getting mine from.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
