Hey!

I bought a Walbro fuelpump some time ago, and about a week ago i got my self together and installed it! The pump is an in-line (external) 255 Lph unit.

I placed the pump right in front of the fueltank, right under the back seats. I got the negative from a mounting above the exhaust system, and took the positive from the cables going in to the in-tank factory pump, leading the cable on the side of the tank.

The factory hoses run behind the rear right wheel, and there is a connection right there, making it very easy to run new hoses to the in-line pump.

I simple removed the old pump running to the fuellines, and replaced it with one leading to the new pump, and another hose leading back to the connection, so i simply replaced the old hose with a new, onger one, with a pump in the middle :)

The installation works great, and doesnt leak yet :mad: Hopefully it wont after beeing used for a while, but i dont have any experience of the hoses i used so they might dry up and crack after some use.

Anyways, heres 2 pics of the fuel pump installed:

Cheers!

Paul,

If you run a wire direct from the battery (including a relay from the comp of course) then you can get 14 volts to the pump.

That's the next thing I've got to do to mine.

Yep its wired directly from the battery, including a 20 AMP fuse, so theres probably enough juice.

Im also using a Bosch relay to handle the pump :ninja:

Now im off to do finish the painting of the brakes, and to get that 2-gauge A-pillar pod nicely modded/moulded into the pillar. Wish me luck 'cause im probably gonna need it, will have to redo it, didnt work out the way i wanted it on the first try, might aswell start from scratch!

Cheerio!

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
