Fuel pump max power?

[GasMunkey]

Any have the stock fuel pump spec?

How much power will it support?

Thanks

Stop being tight and get a Bosch 044

I would say 400bhp there done!

I changed the feed pipe on mine as well from the tank to 16mm. You need to also change the wiring as well as the 044 draws much more amps. I'm about to add another to mine just getting the tank welded at the moment for dual an outlets.

I want to see if I can get away with using the stock pump with my lump stock so I can iron out any problems before I start making lots of power

One 044 might be ok for you but deffo not for Neil , fuel lab pumps look good with there new electric fuel reg giving fuel pump speed control

Twin 044's should be fine for me Got to commit to another pump but already have a single 044 that are good for 700bhp. Upgrading to 10AN feed line and 8AN return. I think 1000hp will be stupidly overkill but 650 should be nice

1000 is in reserve only to whip your ass lol

I have the 044 pump ,what i did is run a chunky cable from the battery via a fuse then pulled the old supply in to the boot and used it for switching the relay ..The reason did this because thin wires were only giving 11volts to the pump ..I now get around 13 volts .

This is the bracket you want ,fixes useing original threaded bar . Its large enough to fit the rubber buffer..

Yes Mac are you missing me ..? i owe you a pint

[macdeb]

^^^^ yes I am, yes you do.

Sod it, I'm going to get a fuel pressure gauge in the dash and find out exactly how much the bhp the stock fuel pump can handle,


Just doing my bit for the Tvr community

Make sure it's a electrical one. Safety first!

Seen the price of a electrical one?

[Russell Mc]

Cheaper than the potential damage 40psi+ of petrol spraying about inside the car can do?

Obviously a dumb question but gotta ask - what's the standard pump then as I had always assumed that it was a Bosch 044 type...

[Russell Mc]

Nothing special just a Bosch Range Rover pump. Fitted to all sorts of cars in the 80's and 90's

I was going to run 60psi

But as they say, 'no risk no fun'

[SSPPGG]

ive seen lots of the 044 pumps used to support upto 650hp, running 60 ps1, with no issues, but would agree on ensuring the power feed is upto the job. stock isn't.
