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.

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?

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
