044 is for external use, the 040 is for in tank use

The 044 will only flow as much as the 040 when mounted in tank, but will flow more when used as a extrenal pump as it was designed to do

Please explain......

Is this true? Why would mounting it internal make a difference to flow??

Is this true? Why would mounting it internal make a difference to flow??

I would explain if I knew for sure, I am just passing on what I have been told

I have been told by alot of people, and the guy that sold me my pump, Mick at Tilbrooks etc

Have you seen either of the pumps? The 040 has a large filter/strainer at the bottom, the 044 has a small inlet for fuel hose, which people then attach a strainer too with a short length of hose, this must restrict it somewhat. I think when the 044 has to suck fuel up from the tank, and then pressurize it, and then pump it under pressure to the fuel rail it doesn't flow what its rated at. When it recieves constant flow from a surge tank or a small lift pump etc it will then perform to its rated flow, and out-perform the 040

I think its just a matter of using them for there intended purpose. In tank, the 040 is best suited and works well, and when mounted in tank the 044 works well, but apparently will flow the same as a 040 when it is mounted in the tank.

Hope this makes sense, as I am just passing on what I have been told

That said, many people are running in-tank mounted 044's but from what I understand there is no benefit in running the bigger pump unless it is mounted externally and is fed the fuel, rather than having to suck it up

Chris

What I mean is, when it is fed fuel by a helper pump - ie mounted externally out of the fuel tank as it was designed to, it will outflow the 040

When it has to suck fuel up itself, as it does mounted internally, it flows the same as a 040

What I have been told by all the people in the know anyhow

Does anybody know what colour the negative wire is coming off the fuel pump on an R33? I was thinking of doing the relay thing too, does anybody know of any negative effects of using this? anyone got photos of a relay setup?

this whole variable speed pump at idle thing really freaks me out

Chris, perhaps Mick didnt have any 044 pumps in stock at the time? :P

Can't help you out with the colours of the wires Steve

I put the pump in myself, then Mark had to re-wire it and put a relay in for me. This all happend when it was being re-mapped, before the Mick dynasty :D

yeah you can just use the std wiring, but for optimal performance its better to use new stuff, i had my 044 using the std stuff.

Steve just remove the pump and you will see all the wires in the sender and pump, its a easy job on a 32, not sure on the 33s

if you are at full noise and the one and only pump shits itself why wont your motor go bang? pumps normally dont stop they just lose pressure so any failure is not good, so two pump will give a extre chance and with big injectors 700+cc will nearly do the job.

one 044 will support the 600hp no probs but i wonto use two as there are two large fuel lines allreay on the car thanks to nissan and their hicas

remember once tuned any change in pressure will change the amount of fuel going in, so it will make it go bang if left for long enought

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
