What about the Bosch 044? Anybody running one of them?

I'm running the dual wabro pumps with the hobbs switch. second pump comes on at 4 pounds of boost. I have room to add a third one if needed.

 

How do you ahve that much room? Are you running a return setup? It sounds like once you hit a certain point, you have to bite the bullet and spend the money to upgrade your fuel system so that it can handle the additional HP. Nothing available that's a direct swap or drop in and go type thing. I'm not the most mechanically inclined which is why I'm hesitant to mod the bucket and go duals w/hobbs. Thanks for all the comments!

 

I wonder what would happen to the stock regulator if you threw the stock pump and a walbro 255 in parallel for a returnless system...

 

it would make a tahoe go 12.33. lol thats what i have on mine. hobbs for the walbro though. if you run them both while not in boost the pressure is up there. i converted mine to return style awhile back. i think if my return line was bigger i could run both pumps on all the time, but i'm good with my hobbs switch.

 

Their are quite a few of us running single in tank 044's with no problems.

 

i run dual walbros no prob and no hob switch

 

im getting roughly an 8psi drop at wot with just the single walbro, and adding the stock pump back would be free since I already have it

 

I just converted over from a returnless style.

current set-up;
255 intank
-8feed line
044 on the frame rail w/ jayracing fp wiring
filter
fast fuel rails
-6 return
aeromotive fpr
-6 back to the tank

the swap was easy, there is soo much room in the bucket now since the stock regulator and filter are gone

 

Is this on a returnless system? Did you have to mod the bucket or did it drop right in? Anything else that you have to do?

Same questions as above...Using the stock regulator?


I've been putting this off and running on low boost until I figure out a solution. Thanks for the feedback!
