GTR Fuel Pump into GTSt - Should it be so loud ??

[JimX]

I've got an 044 and it's very quiet, except sometimes it makes weird noises when the fuel level drops below the pump. I put it down to it not being that secure in the tank mounting so it has a chance to resonate a bit when in the air. One of these days I will pull it out again and put it back in properly!

I've heard from a couple of people that even the 044 is a quieter pump than a GTR pump, so I wouldn't be overly worried if the GTR pump is noisy.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I'm using the Bosch 040 which cost $340 supplied and fitted.

benm.. where did you get that price? It seems quite good considering it's installed as well! Did you have to leave the car there overnight or was it just a day job?

Just my regular mechanic. He said it was a piss fight to do but well it got done and its working fine so its all good. I left my car there all day while I was at work but i believe it was about a 1.5-2hr job.

SLY33, it probably depends on the mounting. They have to modify the bracket to get it to fit so depending on what they did it probably affects the noise. I just bent mine back and to the right to get mine to fit, and this has probably helped.

Also if it's in a surge tank it will be noisy-as because most of the noise insulation comes from the fuel tank when mounted internally. Mine is only quiet because it's muffled by the tank.
