I have a walboro fuel pump and i tried to replace it with the stock one.

failed, because the car wont start after that.

is the reason i having a faulty pump?

or i have to modify the fittings?

and on top of all these problems, opinions on walboro fuel pumps are welcome.

and would like to also know WALBORO vs BOSCH.

Cheers. :thumbsup:

walbro are good if you get a genuine walbro, and its the 255lph high pressure version.

non genuine, 190l versions, non high pressure versions, all not suitable for performance.

its critical that you get the right one.

people bag them out, but i can guarantee they haven't been genuine or the correct walbro pump.

took me ages to find a genuine pump when i needed one, but its great :thumbsup:

Sure, a pump can be doa, but it's unliekly. The question you should be asking yourself is, how much knowledge do you have in relation to installing pumps, wiring correctly etc.

Is the pump getting power? can you hear it prime? did you put the fuel pump relay back in? tested the wiring for power etc?

It's really hard diagnosing a problem over the internet.

i tested the wiring for power. there's power running through the wires. the only problem is there is no sound coming out from the pump.

so i guess it is spoilt.

however, does anyone knows the model number for the BOSCH 040 IN-TANK FUEL PUMP?

please post if anyone knows.

I kinda need the number.

Cheers.

before you go buying another pump i would check to make sure that it is in right, sounds like you have the + and - round the wrong way. also check the ground to make sure it is all good

is there any way to check the pump without putting into the car?

as in, check whether it is working.

Thanks.

If you wanna know Bosch vs Walbro - do a search.

End of the day, IMO they are sh|t.

I tried and tested a brand new, legit one (3-4 years ago). It didnt come close to what was expected of it

What's your reasons for thinking the Bosch and Walbro are shit?

What are your recommendations for a better fuel pump? Nismo? Tomei?

    • 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/
