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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
