Fuel Pumps

[Spurdo]

ive had a bit of a look and so far can only find very vague info on fuel pumps.

i thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where people can post details in particular what pump they use, whether it be in-tank, in-line or custom setup, along with a brief rundown of their engine specs and what power/torque figures they're getting from it. then it gives a good reference guide to others looking to upgrade their fuel pump.

while we're on the topic ive got a spare bosch pump lying around. part no. 0580 254 019 and i cant find any info on it. im currently running a walbro GSS341/342 does anyone know which would be the better one?

There are millions of words written on this subject on this site and elsewhere. Google "Bosch v Walbro" for a start.

019's are i think the porsche replacement pump (for older-ish models), its intank item.

They would be ok for a mild upgrade/modded car.

Put the Bosch in and throw the Walbro in the bin.

Bosch 044 - intank, stock type sock filter setup, rewired, RB30DET, 250rwhp, soon to be 500rwhp (have seen the exact same pump setup support 580hp @ hubs)

if you look through to RB25/RB30 results threads, some people have listed the pump in their mods.

How much power are you looking for your fuel system to hold up? But yeah the first stage would be a borsch 040 or 044 but if you got abit more coin to spend and want a direct bolt in pump go the nismo but yeah its double price.

Isnt 044 external? I thought 040 is the intank one.

Technically yes, but you can make them intank.

040's also have an integral pickup (which I'm not a fan of) whereas the 044 you can use a sock filter setup like the stock pumps.
