Bosch fuel pumps

[gtst25]

Anyone here bought a bosch fuel pump lately?

Just wondering where from and how much?

I am looking at the bosch 044, and also at doing a group buy if it can be done more cheaply and anyone's interested.

Cheers!

I'm interested.

/semi interested... I can get *1* brand newie for $360...

[Parag0n]

interested for sure

[ookami]

$360 is cheap. How do oyu mount them in skylines seeing that their an external fump pump?

How much if you buy 10 or more??

[strutto]

Like I said... I can get ONE for $360...

I'll ask though...

[gtst25]

There's a bloke called Phat32 who wrote into the group buys section who says he can get them for $325.

There hasn't been many reponses though - don't think many people want to go as big as an 044.

I thought you could mount a 044 internally - have read on a few of the forums here about blokes mounting them in tank - looks like it's a bit of a hassle as they're pretty big but can be done???

Anyway - if anyone here has got any practical experience in fitting one of these please enlighten us!

Cheers

edit:

Just did a search and yes, quite a lot of people have mounted 044's in tank.

Yeah perfectly fine to go intank AFAIK... I've done a 040 intank... The 044 is the same dimensions but just has provision for a hose tail and filter sock rather than an open end IIRC...

Or you could always go external and surge tank...

I can get them to you for $310 each. Dunno how I'd go asking for a group buy, but I can't see the problem. Takes like three days to get them in. I have fitted the 040 in tank with no probs. Takes like half an hour once you pop the boot. I will also do installs for $50 if anyone is interested.

just checked with my supplier and I should be able to get them considerably cheaper if I buy like 10 or so. The more the better. Brisbane and Gold/Sunshine coast buyers only coz I can't be rooted stuffing around with postage.

and before anyone starts asking questions...these pumps retail for $525.

and it would cost you around $80-$100 to get them installed(unless of course you do it yourself).

I am also a mechanic in case anyone was worried.

I have done several of these pump installs with no come backs.

Gidday,

Surely we can get 10 skyliners in the Brissy area to get these pumps.

I know what you mean by postage etc - it'd be a lot easier if everyone could just pick up and pay - no stuffing around with banking/postage.

Cheers!

Interested for me my friend and his brother too....

I am becoming intrested,

stupid question time, how much of a difference does an upgraded fuel pump make to a R33 gtst standard boost? I know later on when I up the boost it is better but what about now?

[predator]

won't make any difference unless your existing one is rooted..

About all I noticed was a tiny bit better throttle response, although this could have been my imagination.

installed another pump literally an hour ago.. although that one was a walbro which is tiny. Its an easy process (even easier in R32 as well!)

Are the walbro units any good??

[predator]

Well I'd actually go Bosch.. unless you really want to save money to spend on other things (like me). Walbro is fine for 250rwkw or so apparently. You hear conflicting reports though on how good they are. At $180 or whatever I paid, worth trying for a while.

Few questions;

Whats the difference between a 040 and a 044? How much power are they both good for?

What is a good price for a 040?

From another forum.. there were some walbros for $160. I just bought one for 165 from someone I knew in up in brissy.
