you know bosch doesnt rate their pumps by hp they rate them by flowrates, id assume walbro does the same, I wonder then who decides to start rating them by hp?

I'd assume horses for courses, as long as you dont get a knock off pump thats floating around on ebay you should be fine surely.

I had a Bosch in-take pump fitted to my car after my original pump died as well.

One thing I have found, was that my new pump is a lot louder compared to my original Nissan pump. You can hear it pumping when you have the doors open.

Otherwise its working all fine.

i had the 040 in my r32 i think they the way to go,goodluck

Yeah i have one in my s14a, they are loud, im not sure if its the same for the r33 but when you install them on s14s you have to butcher the bracket so its basically a piece of flat bar, and hoseclamp the pump to it, i used some 6mm efi hose to line the hoseclamp, so much quieter than the first time i put it in.

Also used stainless 'glenlock' nuts, basically nylocs with a metal insert instead of nylon, to hold the terminals i made on.

If you are a cluey person and know your way around a basic toolbox you can fit an 040 yourself, I found it simple.

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
