Hey peeps

Just a few quick questions,

I spoke to my workshop who said it maybe a better idea to get a Walbro pump over a Bosch as they are harder to mount? First up i have no idea where to get a Walbro pump from.

Im looking for about 350rwhp(approx 260rwkw), will a Bosch 040 do the job ok?

Also whats the Walbro equivilant of it if it will do the job?

Ive had a search through and found different ppl are on different levels with diff pumps but can't see if the Bosch 040 would make that power level ok (with injectors etc to suit obviously).

Thanks

Jaz

The 040 would be fine for the power level you want to achieve or you could get the 023 (same size as 040 and still direct intank replacement) but they flow more.

Im against what TO4GTR said about the 040 cause i've had nothing but problems with the 3 brand new Walbro's i've had in 2 different cars but thats just my opinion.

At the end of the day its your choice what you go with but the 040/023 is fine for the power level your seeking and i think the part number for the Walbro equivalent is the 341 :happy:

Where can you buy Walbro pumps at a decent price from?

You can get 040's for under $250, are Walbros much more expensive?

There are a few sellers that stock Walbro pumps and they are around the same price of the 040 (depends on where you buy from) although you can get cheap Walbro pumps on EBay :happy:

Plenty of topics about fuel pumps under the search function, plus if your that affraid of mounting isues, get direct intank replacements, for a little more cash, and reliable as well. IE: Tomei direct replacement, at nengun.

Andrew sells Walbro 500hp pumps for 150 or so.. Check out the sponser section..

I bought one, but havnt installed it yet..

I've heard alot about the DENSO intank pump they're based on the tomei pumps i think.. easy fit in R33 but a bit pricey.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
