Levi, with that car nothing is "drop-in" It will take it's ounce of flesh or fist full of money like nobody's business!

Lol, very true! At least I won't need to drive up to Speed1 for it though.

Here you go Levi. I forgot to past these up for you Sunday.

ok..... We know the pump is bad.... why chance it? I wouldn't drive it until a new pump goes is... but that's me

Second... why are you seeing 43 psi? I set FPSI @ 35 when we got the thing started in January.... did you change the base pressure?

The 044 IS an inline pump....

Motherfucking that

Aw shit... if you wanted a lightly used 044, you should've told me, I would've given you mine... Only used for like a month and one dyno.. of course it flows less than a stock TII pump (I flow tested it) Or, I could get you the FuelLab pump I just put in that has like 20 minutes of run time on it..... that one won't pull a prime, or I could scrougne around for the Aeromotive pump that has maybe a few houras on it that won't hold pressure.....

Lightly used.... fuck that noise... flow test that shit before you turn the key.... can't trust anything or anyone.... cavitate these pumps or run them dry and they're garbage....

Truff....

How noisy was that pump compared to mine?

The same..... I would still like to put a small intank pump in your car keep that fuel lab thing fed and happy.... btw - parts showed today I BELIEVE.... still need to open box...

Its 9AM and the boxes aren't even open... what are you guys? Some kind of government workers sitting around scratching your balls and drinking coffee 7 until 10 only to go to lunch at 11:30, come back around 1 and then hit the gym at 2:30 before you head home? Oh wait....

The new pump should be in this weekend. I'm keeping the tank topped up now and I'm only "chancing it" 5-10 miles from home. And because heat cycles :Angel_anim:

It didn't want to idle right at 30psi (we were only seeing about 30psi) that saturday we brought it up. Vlad bumped it up to 40-43psi and it idled happily. I've got no qualms with running it at 35psi, but if it won't idle...

I'm getting it from silverfdturbo6port on the other forum. He says he ran it inline (with a swirl pot) for a couple hundred miles before deleting it for a dual intank setup that he wants to use for his 20B. It can't be any worse than the one I've got (been in tank for easily over 4 years now).

How would I flow test it?

He's assured me that it never ran dry, if it turns out otherwise... I'm sure I could work something out.

:toetap05:

I set it @ 35 base psi in january for a reason... if ya changed it, I wish you had told me, now what was done on saturday morning needs to be redone. There's no reason to run a boosted car @ 42.5 psi or 3bar base fuel pressure, especially with the amount of injector you have.... it just kills pumps quicker. I'm thinking of turning mine down to 30psi base and it will idle somewhere around 22psi and probably drop to ~17psi on hard decel....

Turning it up to 43psi and running 25psi of boost nets ~70psi of rail pressure.... pumps don't flow very well under higher pressures and the Bosch is notorious for cavitating... hell.... that pump could've been what puked 3 engines... just saying... whatever did frag 3 engines was never found.... we just assumed it was PFS and his shitty building and porting and that bullshit PFC and joke of a CDI known as the twin nopower...

I've got a Bosch 044 that was used for probably about the same, maybe less and I guarauntee it's worse....

Take a 5 gallon jerry can go to the gas station
buy 5 gallons of gas
mark where on the tank 5 gallons is
remove return line from fuel tank top and insert into jerry can
Set base pressure to 43.5.... oh wait :rofl:
jump fuel pump and time how long it takes to pump 5 gallons
MATH
Compare calcs to Bosch specs.
turn up to 72psi and repeat

Yup... and we have a customer here that bought a used Blitz Dual SBC boost controller and he was assured that it worked just fine.... he boost spiked to well over 30psi on the dyno..... when asked where he got it
scubie forum
why was the guy selling it
becuase it wouldn't control the boost on his subie
but it's a BOOST CONTROLLER
Yeah but something about the subies....
some wierd mystical turbo that only subaru knows how to regulate boost on??!?!?! :willy_nilly:

I'll do that once the pump gets in and let ya know my readings =)

Kewl.... @ 3bar it should flow about 67gph and about 53gph @ 72 psi

So it'll flow LESS fuel the higher the pressure is? That's kinda 'tarded... One would hope that it would flow more fuel as it works harder (to a certain extent).

Pressure resists flow ;)

Yup.. thats why you pay the big bucks for good fuel pumps. Or just run two 044s :)

I think I'll be able to make due, with my power goals, by running one 044 inline after a swirl pot. Until I swap ECU's and turn the power up the single, in tank, 044 should suffice (only hoping/expecting 390whp-415whp at wastegate).
