Fuel Pumps,bosch Or Walbro?what To Pay For One?

[DREW32]

Hi there SAU members after tinkering around with the spark plugs etc etc to fix my 32's spluttering prob starting to lean towards that it might be the fuel pump starting to fizzle out so to speak, so i wanted to know if im only producing no more than 250kw what is the best for my money bosch or walbro and how much should i expect to pay for either and where is the best place i could get one ,example ebay, repco,supercheap,autobarn,(taking into account im in the bush and we have a limited spare parts shops! so they usually over price everything,,so i dont want to be taken for a ride)hopefully it'll be money well spent !!!!! opps reeally like to know also what model numbers they are !

Thanks R31Nismoid had previously looked at to of those threads shows me i shouldnt go walbro should go bosch but one thing that all these threads are how much you guys are actually paying for one ? i think a 040 bosch should be adequate for my needs so who has bought one and what did it cost you?

Mine was heavily discounted through someone at Bosch hehe

... i dont actually know the RRP for them mate so i wont send you off with some silly figure.

I think around $250-300 is what people pay for em going by the For Sale section where they come up now and again.

Mick Cita on Ebay sells 040's

for $205.45 delivered Oz-wide.

Bought mine a month ago off him.

how about throwing your car on the dyno for an hour (about $100) and find out if you really need a new fuel pump

if you're just changing it as a hit or miss to fix your stuttering problem, it would be a shame to waste money for no reason if its not the cause ofhte problem...

but on the topic of fuel pumps, i personally have a walbro pump as apparently its easier to fit in the stock location. i had it fitted at the mechanic and they ordered it through their supplier.

cheers,

Hey warren you are right it is a hit and miss fix seeing how the closest dyno is over 100klm away worried about breaking down before i even get there tried coil packs spark plugs new fuel filter etc but seems as the prob getting increasingly more noticeable (slowly occurring more often) just removed the AFM to have a look and my god it is full of dirty shit cant believe i didnt see it before so ill clean all this up before i go a head and buy a new pump incase thats why it could be playing up
