its a bosch if that makes a difference not a brandless.

yea shawns dyno reads the lowest in s.a. iv got a brand new standard internal goss pump, into a under car 2l surge tank then into the o44 with standard lines should be good for 300rwkw plus i should get a pic 2 show u my fuel setup was about 600 for the lot i tested the goss standard internal replacement pump and in less than 5 secs it filled a 1.5l coke bottle so it works fine with my setup be carefull with ebay i bought a second hand 044 for 50bucks and it didn't work get a new 1 from outlaws for 230 i think it was and sum fitting to suit your standard lines i looked around Adelaide outlaws were the cheapest for 044z Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I mean the fake 044's from eBay are mock-ups, I'm not saying Yours is OR that they all are but, I have heard a few people that have bought a "bosch 044" new off ebay have recieved fake, mock-up versions..

ah ok cheers for the heads up.

---------- Post added 24-02-11 at 06:56 ---------- i got my 044 fuel pump last night so now i need to get some fittings for it to suit the standard lines and ill fit it and wire a relay up to with some better wiring. then back to boostworx for a retune and hopefully some better numbers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I wired up my fuel pump over the weekend and it is all good so im gonna speak to Shaun at boostworx soon and book a time to get it retuned.

well i just got back from getting my car tuned it made 172.9rwkw but injectors are maxed out he reckons so he suggested AFM and injector upgrade then see how it goes with a bit more boost but im saving for an O/S trip so i wanna stop spending money on it for a while and just enjoy it so i was thinking of just getting an adjustable fuel reg for now. i dont really want much more power than that for a while because i still have an N/A trans and im not sure how it will handle more power. im happy with how it is going now its really smooth and feels strong. Bad news he thinks the head gasket has a small leak because there was a bit of coolant burnt onto one of the plugs so i guess ill have to replace that soonish. OPINIONS?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good power man... how much boost did you run for that figure???

cheers mate. 12psi

Yup, when mine was stock it made 170-175kw on 12psi and that was on the peak of the injectors... I tried an adjustable reg but couldnt squeeze anymore outta it so maybe its time for som 32 GTR injectors Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

oh ok cool cheers mate. ---------- Post added 17-03-11 at 12:05 ---------- hey guys i am currently giving my trans and diff a service (new oil for the diff and new oil and filter for the trans) just wondering if there is anything else i should do to the trans while i have the sump off the trans??

re-set the bands if you have the specs and a suitable torque wrench? otherwise, no there isn't really anything else.

yeah thought about that but i dont have a torque wrench so ill just replace oil and filter i guess. plus im gonna get a sump plug welded into the sump to save hassles in the future. cheers man[COLOR="Silver"]

Nice work man, hopefully you can squeeze a bit more out of it with the bigger injectors Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
