hey,

just thought i'd let everyone know that theres a guy in the US who is selling the 255 litre walbro fuel pumps really cheap.

Under $200 (australian) to your door step.

i think its a pretty could buy considering the bosch 040's and 044 go for over of $300.

I am ordering mine tommorow.

if you want his contact or want me to order you one aswell, let me know.

Just thought i'd let eveyone know, that there are pumps other than bosch. I think these go for around $250 here in australia from the shops.

And this fits straight into silvia tanks, and a lot more.

he has all sorts of pumps as you can see.

i am not in this to make a buck, just thought i'd pass on a pretty decent buy.

And with the australian dollar at around 60 cents (last time i checked), he said my silvia in tank 255litre an hour is only $160 delivered.

Now dont think it gets much better than that.

he buys thousands at a time thus the cheap price.

Any Perth SAU members interested in doing this at all? If so we could get it ordered all at one time.

This is an upgrade for the r33gtst fuel pump yeah? If it is can you please let me know as i would be interested? Does any one know if these are as noisy as the bosch fuel pumps?

hey,

this is definatley an upgrade.

However i am gettting some mixed responses from people.

This pump is not better than the bosch 040, however its an alternative. Its a good intank fuel pump for the price.

I am going to copy this email that i received from someone who has had experience with the pump on his evo.

"I use to have one of these pumps in my EVO6, and if you have a good look at the fuel delivery curve that comes with the pump, you will see that 255lph is at no fuel pressure. At 3.2bar (which is approx system pressure) there is about 195lph (13.5V), and under turbo boost ie. 4.2bar approx there is 176lph (13.5v). So this pump is worse off compared to even a Bosch 040 pump which pushes out about 220lph (13.5v) at 3.5bar.

Compare it to the NISMO pump at 275lph at 3.2bar and we all know why we have to pay so much for it.

I almost blew my engine when I had the Walbro pump in my car because it was at the limit pushing 220rwkw and decided that it would drop from 4.5bar to 3.2bar of fuel pressure at around 6000rpm because it couldn't keep up the fuel flow.

If your RB25 is going to make some good hp, you will be at the limit with the Walbro pump. If you want cheap, my advice is to look for the 910 bosch pump instead and have it as a secondary inline."

so yeah thats basically what i been told, they seem to proudce less litres at different pressures.

Which would make the bosch 040 a better pump. But it depends on how much power you are looking for I spose. But what would be good is if you used this pump as an infeed and the external one as the direct feed as the guy was saying. But depends on your setup.

email the guy on the website. he is reliable and i think you pay by paypal.

only $160 so i guess its pretty good for the price. Inasnt, you gotta hook me up with one of those $250 044 pumps. i been priced around $380.

will give this pump a shot first though.

take the info as you see need, it could be the right pump for you, it might not be, ever car is different.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
