Walbro Gss341 Or Bosch 044

[BlackXR6T]

Hey all,

Just wondering what intank fuel pump to get, Will be running 968's and I was wondering which pump would be best suited for the 300 - 350rwkw mark.

As far as I understand there is the walbro gss341. Is this the best walbro to get or is there a better walbro for this amount of power?

The second part is the bosch pump, 044 I think. Is this an intank pump? How hard is it to install in the cradle and is it worth the extra $$$ over the walbro.

Im sorry if this has been discussed before but im just after some definate clarification.

Cheers

mate, the Walbro in-tank will suffice for that sort of power.

The 044 is an line pump and I have only put one in now because of fuel supplu issues with 400+rwkw's.

The Walbro will be fine and easier to fit too!

why is the Bosch harder to fit?

The Bosch 044 is an in-line pump. Depending on where you put it, it can be a little painful. Mine is actually up near the engine on the same side as the fuel line and once I had all of the gear, it wasn't too hard at all.

The Walbro is a simple replacement - you just have to pull out the factory swirl pot and replace the factory pump - a little fiddly but not too hard.

And if you have a ute - fit the Bosch as the alternative to pulling the tank out to get to the swirl pot!!!!!! Pain in the proverbial............

Removing the tank is pretty straight foward if you have a hoist. Just installed a Walbro a few weeks ago

My Bosch 044 goes in on Friday.

Mika, are you putting yours in-line or using a surge tank?

For the time being (surge tank is being made now), I put mine right up the front left of the car and ran the electrics t'eed off the factory pump through conduit through the frame rails to the Bosch.

It was actually quite a simple job - the factory even put a hole right where I needed to bolt on the pump mount to the car - nice of them! The surge tank I am getting made is going to fit up the front near the frame rail behind the wheel arch. It will be a funny shape but still work.
