Walbro Vs Bosch Fuel Pump

[eXc]

Guys,

Basically, I am putting an RB25 turbo onto my RB20. I'll upgrade the fuel pump, and maybe get a fuel reg.

So given that the Walbro's don't flow aswell as the Bosch's, for a target of maximim 200kw, realistically I am guessing 180kw, what would be the best option?

It seems everyone has a go at the walbro's, but unlike the Bosch's they APPARENTLY;

- Bolt straight in (Don't require mods to mount/fuel lines/extra fuel lines to reach bottom of tank)

- Don't have 1/4 tank issues.

I will put the effort in to install a 910/040 if I have to, but is there any need? I don't want to get a 2nd hand GTR pump.

Cheers

Chris

The walbro will be fine.

You won't be running excessively high rail pressure as boost will only be around 14psi max.

what about with the same amount of power ie 200rwkw but using an aftermarket turbo or high flow turbo maybe running about 16 psi max, would the walbro item still be sufficient. again on the rb20, reason i ask is that im in a similar situation as eXc.

That's where I am at aswell, as I will be using a bigger turbo (rb25) possibly a high flow.

Don't be lazy. Get a bigger one now, caus u'll be kicking urself down the track if you don't.

walbro will be fine up to 200rwkw anything over get the bosch,

they really arne't that hard to fit. but if you are going to use the bosch you will probably need to run direct feed from the battery as the current draw is a lot higher than the stocker and may blow the fuse (it did in my car)

why not the gtr pump? mine is doing fine on my rb20 upto 270rwkw

if you wanted a new pump i would go the 040.. my brother had one in his old r33 gtst and never had problems with the quarter tank issue.

I'm considering ripping my bosch pump out come summer as bosch pumps sound crap once the weather warms up.

I'll be dropping a new pump in so it will most likely be something along the lines of a tomei/nismo internal pump. They are both around the $300 mark. I won't go a second hand gtr pump as second hand really isn't worth the trouble when it may get a little lazy 6months down the track.

Where did you find that price? They have all been $400 + when I looked.

2nd hand - Same reason I dont want a GTR pump

I ran a walbro at 240rwkw and 16psi no problems on a hiflow turbo and 555 injectors, pump handled it all fine.

Yes, i've since sold and installed another brand, but I'm setting up for 270-300rwkw, thats a fair difference.

How much are new GTR pumps? If its not a huge differance then get that.

The GTR pump flows about 4.5L/min at 40psi.. thet is enough for about 550kw at the fly... and its an OEM item so it will be a straight fit

[eXc]

what Walbro's are you guys running that have used them?

As did my "mint" GTR pump, had a workshop put it in, had been working fine for about a year until a couple weeks ago when my car started running very, how can i say, shit. Turned out it was the GTR fuel pump so i replaced it with a in tank VR commodore replacement fuel pump ($95 brand new, all i could find at the time) put my car on the dyno again to check A/F ratios and they were all sweet at 160RWKW

i picked a Denso high capacity pump that flows around 300 l/h. its a direct fit and its not as much hassle as a bosch pump with the messing around with the intank brackets and that. it cost me around $250 if i recall correctly

its good for around 300 rwkw.

anyway just thought i would give you another option

cheers

I had the walbro 255 l/h one, can't remember the serial numbers etc.
