hey peoples having problems installing the bosch 040.. ive got a r33 skyline series 2.. ive read a tutorial on the 989 or watever and yeah just few things im not sure of.

what im upto got everything off.. and hav found that the holder for the std fuel pump is way too small to fit the bosch 040.. so wat i have done is just bent the bottom bit straight and then just cable tied it to the pole.. is that alright to do?.

next thing is.. the positive and negative connectors to the actual pump.. ive stripped the wires and wrapped it around the connector and just put a bolt ontop of it.. is that ok? i have worries about it tho, cause the positive on the old pump was coverd with a black rubber however doesnt fit the new pump..

ive pretty much just replaced the std fuel pump with my new pump exactly. is that wat ur spose to do or are u meant to make modifications?. also ive found that the sock connected to the std fuel pump dont fit no where on the bosch 040.. am i spose to jus leave it off?..

what should i fix or be doing? thanks for your help guys.

most of that sounds right dude, there is nothing wrong with cable ties....they are designed to hold things and they do it well. as for the wiring....aslong as the positive is touching nothing but the postive terminal, it will be fine without the boot, the boot wouldve been there just to stop it coming in contact with anything. as for the sock....its purpose is to stop the pump sucking up any crap from the bottom of the tank....its probably a good idea to find a way to put it on or to think of something else..... even if you cut the adaptor off the sock and cable tie it directly to the inlet of the pump..

cheers

wazz....the fuel pump doesnt move around....i put a fuel pump in a mates 180, used cable ties....been over a year, hasnt moved at all....there is nothing wrong with zip ties. hose clamps can be over tightened and either damage the pump or the clamp, resulting in a useless clamp. why does everyone see zip ties as being dodgy??? why not get some aircraft grade T-Bolt hose clamps.

My opinion.....

1. Make sure the Bosch 040 is installed at the lowest point so it can be right near the bottom of the tank. Bending the cradle straight at the bottom is a good idea

2. Use electrical end terminals for the wiring part & soilder or crimp them.

3. Use nuts (stainless steel if you can) to place wire terminals on to pump

4. Use stainless steel clamps to hold the pump into place.

As for zip ties , I won't want that pump coming lose and the terminals moving about........bang.

I also wouldn't like anything contaminating my fuel, eg plastics, rust from metals.

Also the bosch 040 pump has a built in filter, no need for sock and the reason for it being mounted very low in tank.

Yeah I asked Bosch about the need for a sock on the bottom and they said it didn't need one. Stainless steel hose clamps are the go in my opinion. I bent the cradle out flat as well, then used the rubber base that the old pump was sitting on as a sort of 'cushion' to stop the 040 from making noise. Works really well, no noise at all until the car is almost out of fuel.

    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
