hanra Into the laaaake Member 1,532 Member For: 17y 6m 11d Gender: Male Location: Nrth Qld Posted 02/03/08 11:33 AM Share Posted 02/03/08 11:33 AM (edited) So ive started installing a 2L surge tank and Bosch 044 pump into my ute. Parts ive used so far. Bosch 044: $200Mounting Braket: $42Tank: $1403/8 & 5/16 EFI hose/clamps: $75Speedflow checkvalve/fittings: $105Aluminum Plate: $0Wire/Relay/Bolts/Connectors/Misc: $60Keep in mind that some of these items have freight added on also.The plate I used is 330mm long, 160mm wide and 6mm thick. I just happened to have some laying around so it did the trick nicely. Ive bolted it in 5 places using 3 10mm bolts and 2 8mm bolts. I just used existing holes in the ute. For the wiring, ive spliced into the 12v supply from the stock pump (pink wire) and ran it to a relay. For the 12v supply for the 044 ive spliced into another pink wire which has constant 12v on it which runs to the towbar connector. Not sure what its use is. Ive concealed all the wiring that ive run within the standard loom. Ive fused that 12v supply with a 20A fuse as close as possible to the relay. Ive mounted the pump to a vertical section of the tray. The lower hole was tricky to drill as you need a short drill and you have to get to it from under the car.... Its a tight squeeze. The top hole is simple. Im going to try to insulate the braket with some rubber.Im yet to mount the tank or run the fuel hose as yet. That will be a job for later in the week when the tank and speedflow fittings arrive. This is the tank, its just a cheapy: This is what I have to start with: This is what ive done so far, stay tuned: Edited 02/03/08 11:37 AM by hanra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you would get the pump out that way, yes there is a beam in the way. Perhaps you could undo the straps for the tank and shift it slightly to expose the entire pump?

The PW tank is $600ish without a pump I thought I could get out of it a bit cheaper. In hindsight though maybe not. I like to give myself projects to undertake on the weekend. This is the pump: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
