040 Pump install

[thommo]

Who wants to give me a hand installing my Bosch 040??

Having had a good read of the tutorials around on installing bosch fuel pumps, i've decided my pathetic mechanical prowess is probably not up to the job :confused: . So...

If anyone has some decent experience installing these into R33 GTS-t's, and woud be willing to install the pump with my limited help , i'd be more than happy to reimburse them.

I'm about 45 mins west of Melbourne, so would prefer either my house or somewhere on the west side.

If you're interested, please pm me

Cheers!

thanks heaps mate, but after talking with nigel from ICE today, i've decided to get it done there as i'm having a few other things sorted at the same time.

cheers

long way to drive from west side.....

ICE are good, they'll take care of you. but installing fuel pump is child's play. you'll probably pay a bit more than you would going to your local mechanic.

yeah i realise this, but it's not just the pump i'm getting done.

seeing as though i will be taking the car there regardless, i'm much happier to leave it all to a professional and get the guarantee that it will be done right.

with a lot of things, you can be so worried about saving a little now that you may end up spending more later. i'd rather pay the bit extra for quality and peace of mind.

im still trying to figure out how it all works... but if i got a 040 fuel pump, do i also need a fuel regulator ? im guessing i need it with any aftermarket type pump ?

generally a fuel pressure reg isn't needed - as the stock reg can cope. They are mainly used to make it easier to tune the car as they make the fuel pressure curve more linear (so i've been told). Having said that, you may benefit from a re-tune (if you have an aftermarket computer.)
