Well the fuel pump shat itself. So, time for a new one!
Are Bosch 044's a straight swap from the factory pump?
Would it be worthwhile putting one in for a non-XR 4 litre? I do intend to up the power very shortly and don't see the point in putting a new standard pump in if I have to replace it in the near future! |

Walbro GSS342s fit the stock cradle easy as, Ebay it, just be careful of fakes.
Theres a bloke 'uddog' or some s**t, his are real. Think they are under 150 now too. |

Nothing if you don't intend on using more fuel at some stage.
They flow more. |

Searched for a few threads.. looks like the Walbro's are the go.
Mine is in an EA Sedan, got it going by feeding it a direct feed from 12v amplifier source, and then reconnected it, car started and I drove it home today...
Got home, tested it 5 times, by turning key to "on", you could here the pump pressurize the line each time, then nothing.. car started, and stalled 2 secs later.. so looks like my pump is shagged..
How do I get it out? There's a big fkn hose clamp around the sender / pump cap in the boot.. It appears that the tank has to be dropped / lowered to undo this hose clamp, and in turn remove the pump.. is this right??
If I get a 255lph pump, do I need to change the regulator? Should I just get a standardish pump? VDO? Car won't see any more upgrades other than the Wade 1636 finally going in over the next few weeks...
Cheers. |

Where from? eBay dealer? Which model was it?
Is one of these 255lp/h jobs gonna be overkill, anyone? 
Just tried to get this fkn hoseclamp off that tank lid, and it's well n trully on.. I'm guessing this is the original pump. Had a look underneath, looks like 4 bolts hold those straps / braces to support the tank, I'm just gonna drop the tank when I get this pump (not sure which one yet), can't see how else to get that clamp undone. |

yeah, was on Ebay.. private seller bought one for his car then the car got trashed so couldn't use it..
paid 90 bucks for it.. (was a 342 so yes, the 255 one.. but it will work fine as replacement for standard also.

| I got a pump out of a wrecked Toyoto Supra Turbo model that looks the same. The replacement part numbers according to HOLLEY are the same, so I guess... I guess I should try fitting it one day and finding out. ... |
