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?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      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

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
