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?

044...try $550 or so when you know someone!!  

Russ...

u can get the 044 bosch for $250 trade price in melbourne!

still the walbro looks cheap!

dabigbolf

all the wiring and setip same as the 044 pump?

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.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
