I'm half and half about setting one up on mine,
I'm interested to see what set-ups people are running and your thoughts and experiences.

Are you running out of fuel? If not then you don't need a lift pump
there is different sized versions of the VP44. by all accounts the dodge IP setup is to small for the engine. those require 15psi bare minimum and many upgrade the hoses/connections to ensure flow.
your not going to gain power by fitting a lift pump. but you may recover some lost timing, especially in the lower rpm.
the other thing is if you want to run a 2nd fuel filter due to dodgy fuel, then you have to run a lift pump. two filters is just to much restriction.
YD's don't use the vp44 which are known to have problems. Yank tanks that use the vp44 have a lift pump fitted as standard, navaras don't. If you fit a lift pump fit a bypass as well, I didn't and when my carter died I ran the i.p dry. ICV% now sits a little lower. Bosch changed the vp44 timing piston sleeve from brass to steel in 2004 so they obviously new there were problems.

So is it a worthwhile mod on an otherwise perfectly good, mildly modded (chip, zorst, cooler) rig?
I have a bosch 044 and a carter gold sitting on the shelf.
Would the carter with a check valve bypass be ok without a reg, or should i run the mighty 044 and a reg?
Or don't worry about it?
i think i have a write up on the patrol forum.Is there an "spill line mod for idiots" thread on here somewhere? I tried searching without success.
don't know. however it could have been a move to ensure fuel doesn't leak.Thanks Tweake's. I'll have a look at this. Any reason Nissan didn't do this on the production line?
