What Fuel Pump To Use For Around The 300-350 Kw Mark


Recommended Posts

hi I have a 89 r32 gtr.

Like it says in the tittle i am chassing around 300 to 350 kw at the wheels. I have 2860r-5 turbos and wanted a descent fuel set up to support them. I have just purchased sard 800cc injectors and was wondering what fuel pump to use. At this satge I don't really want to make/ buy a surge tank but i am more after a good intank fuel pump. I have being doing a bit of research, though it has all conflicted each other.

What are the Bosch 040 good for or a 044 mounted in the tank (hp/kw wise) Or can somebody give me another option. I don't want the pump to be maxed out at the kw I am chasing

Cheers

Thanks to all the people who have replied to this.

Is the Bosch 040 good for 600hp or 400hp? I don't want the pump to be maxing out at around 350kw. Is any body using the 040 in a gtr with similar power figures to what I am chasing?

Cheers

Walbro In-Tank 255Lph. Making 380awkw with no probs whatsoever

i got a bucket of dead walbros... want some spares.....

according to the specs (4.7L/m) that nismo state for the gtr pump it will out flow a 044 but what it doesn't say is if that is free flow or with pressure.

i just put a 044 intank (R33) and you can barely tell the difference noise wise between it and the stock pump, i used 3 pieces of 25mm fuel resistant PVC tubing opened up and wrapped around the pump and the arm it mounts too.

will nismo in tank support 380awkw?

Put it this way. Twin RS's at anything up to 2 bar on a 2.8 litre stroker and im fine (Fuel pressure gauge in cabin to confirm). Your turbo's are smaller so you will be sweet!

yep, no question, nismo pump is the easy winner. it mounts properly in the stock cradle too which is a problem with other pumps. if they are not mounted correctly the pick-up can be too high resulting in fuel starvation. and the nismo pumps are 276 litres per hour, rated at 3bar (ie stock base pressure).

hmm deff sound like the best in tank option for no dicking around, need to source one now...

Nismo intank FTW! Making 350rwkw and no sign starvation.

Just to add this is with E85, so you can add another 25-30% onto of my power figure on pump fuel.

And my walbro is relagated to lift pump duties upto my surge/044 setup as it couldnt maintain flow above ~50psi rail pressure.

I'd be interested to know what setup a Walbro makes 380awkw with :cheers:

Snowman was/is using a stock R34 GTR pump for 380rwkw, so anything aftermarket is gonig to meet that easily enough

    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
