Bosch 044 Fake identification/pictures/info

[andy10v]

It looks like the left hand pump has a helicoil thread in the inlet, and the right hand pump is threaded alloy?

The crimp looks different, material on the top, and the size of the 4 circles on the top.

[sailaz]

I can repeat myself third time: one pump has number 205-03 and another one 111-30, so logically thinking something has to be different

[andy10v]

Ok, if we can get genuine "old" bosch 044 cheap that is great, I would just be wary as it seems to have the same helicoil as the ones that flowed less?

Well, we couldn't measure all the fuel pissing out of the end cap, but at 70 psi a real 044 flows about 390 lb/hr, this knock-off flows 260 lb/hr. Around 65 psi, fuel started leaking between the end cap and casing. We quit testing it at 70 because it was spraying fuel everywhere.

Free flow (0 psi), the knock off flowed 420 lb/hr, a real 044 flows about 490 lb/hr.

Are you going to test one or try it in a car?

I read ages ago that some on here ( pRJ amongst others ) recommended a HRC-255 pump, quieter than 044 and/or Walbro, and 2 year warranty....seen these for around £60 , anyone used them ? Straight swap/in tank ? Big on the Subaru scene apparently ( yeah I know... )

Graph from somewhere on here





Does anybody know what a stock pump flows?

What do you need for RS2 spec?

[david1980]

Avoid brands hatch performance on ebay lots of cases of pumps being returned fake

So here we are again just got a pump of fleabay steel hellicoil intact all numbers and stamps look good +-- signs in the right place found out that it should flow 500ml in 15seconds so gonna test it before I fit it

[Rikki Kitto]

OK so after trying a really dangerous idea out, flow test with petrol in an open container and battery etcI wont embarrass myself with the clip, I found out that the pump flows 2.1 litres in 30 seconds but standalone no pressure to fight against.

I know now that this doesn't really tell me anything other than it's pumping fast, so looks like I'll have to fit it and find out anyhoo

Good news is I was nowhere near the S2 when I tried this out so if it exploded into a fireball the car would of been fine

[Gazmitchell]

Just to resurrect this thread , are there any bona fida outlets that are known to sell proper 044 's as I'm after one now... Don't wanna genuine replica l!!
