Has anyone checked this out yet? There is like no mention of it whatsoever on these forums... I just got mine in and will try to install it today.. Should be good for 800hp :D

Flows more than the Aeromotive and Deatschwerks and cost less than them... Win-win for me :)

These pumps are similar to a aeromotive stealth in current draw, and suffers a pretty bad dropoff on flow over 80psi. It flows great up to 80psi - but there on out the bosch 044 kicks its butt.

It also requires a rewire to support the amperage that pump draws- If you run 60psi base pressure and 20 psi of boost - this pump is gonna be close to 20 amps...

The main thing there is that if you are running 58(4bar) base pressure and 25psi of boost - you're already at 83psi of FP. If you need a pump like this - You're almost certainly running 30+psi. It is very important that you use 14 gauge wire direct from your battery on a 30A relay - stock wiring isnt going to cut it.

Yeah, the flow does drop off pretty sharply.. At 100psi and higher the Aeromotive and Deatschwerks pumps flow more I think.. I'm running the stock base pressure and don't plan on running 40+lb's of boost so that shouldn't be an issue with me lol..

I got this pump because I think it's the cheapest and easiest fuel setup to support over 500whp on pump gas with room to grow.. Hopefully it will support my future goals with the 2JZ as well..
