ok looking at a new fuel pump, the walbro is cheaper but it says allows similar flow rates the bosch costs more what is the diffrence? i would like to eventually run up to 300hp@ the rear wheels running about 220atm.

any help would be nice. I also searched and couldnt find much else on this.

thanks!

I am yet to go for my full tune (before i need a rebuild no doubt). after my FMIC are on, my injectors and Z32 AFM are installed, an after I get a Haltech E11 ecu ill let you know. dont hold ur breath lol. The current mods I have are a turbo back 5 zigen/custom dump exhaust system 3.25 inch. GT3076R turbo @ 12-13psi (16 psi once) on a Turbosmart boost T. and some wierd ecu that doesnt rich and retard on me.

Performance as far as I can tell has been good, even better after i mounted it lower into my tank to suck past 1/4 of a tank to empty. (i installed it myself).

i got a Bosch 023. mounted it myself.. took a few attempts to get it as close to the bottom of the tank with out it touching. and never had any dramas with 1/4 surging. would recommend the bosch over the walbro for piece of mind. purely and simply

plus there not that much more. picked mine up for 219 delivered

I've used a walbro in the past. Ran 195 rwkw no probs. Now run a 040 which i think is muchbetter. I asked a workshop why do you dislike the walbro and was given the response well have you ever seen a bosch 040 and a walbro side by side the walbro is half the size if not smaller, so how could it perform the same as the bosch!

i have a WALBROW GSS342 mine pushing 217 rwKs on a standard setup engine. Works well no issues there. Theer are cheep walbrows and bosh pumps. Just make sure that you get the pumps form propper dealers and you should have no issues.

I have used walbrow before on several cars, and no probs, but i have had 2 bosh pumps die before, not 040 though.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
