davep Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I am running a bpu supra but am wanting to upgrade as and when money allows so i was looking at the fuel setup as my pump can anyone tell me the pros and cons of staying oem or changing to a Bosch 044 Fuel Pump if i went this way what else would i need sorry for asking a silly question that has probably answered loads of times:taped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi Dave If your full bpu you'll prob find your fuel pump has been upgraded to a walbro already. If you know it hasnt its a good idea to upgrade. The walbro is perfect for bpu and is rated to around 550hp. The bosch 044 is much bigger and is used in most single turbo cars ....

David Reid Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The only disadvantage of my 044 is the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 BPU J-spec fit a GSS342 Walbro pump as they are straight swap, the Bosch 044 pump is a lot bigger and needs a bit of tinkering to fit the stock pump hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I had the Walbro GSS342 on my bpu running just over 400hp and it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The walbro is perfect for bpu and is rated to around 550hp. Yep .. It's rated 390rwhp, so should be fine for BPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 i thought the uk oem was more relable than the walbro ? The stock UK pump flows more than the Walbro, it will not fit a J-spec hanger without bodging it, so you would need the UK hanger as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
