nope, I had one, leaned out at 280rwkw and above.

at 300rwkw, the afrs wouldn't go below 12.8:1, even with the injectors completely maxed in the power FC.

Have you seen the flow chart? Watch the blue line below 60psi.... Terrible!

mine saw the end of its performance @ 240-250rwkw

Walbro's are a mixed bag.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont... i wasnt even running upped rail pressures over normal conditions

There are FAR too many threads now with people and Walbros who have fuel issues.

I simply dont trust them. Have used Bosch for the lasf 4 years since.

mine was ok, just ran out of flow.

Remember the ratings -

Walboro 255 is 255lph at 40psi

Nismo 275lph is at 275lph at 70psi (What I have now)

Nismo is a perfect pump, drops straight in like factory, has a factory bracket, hoses and plug etc. I'll never touch a bosche.

and walbro rate there pumps at a voltage which isnt achieved in a "normal" car, sneaky haha

whats terrible about it? i dont look at fuel flow graphs often but it seems to flow a fair bit below 60psi? its above 60 that it really drops off. and why does more pressure result in less flow? i thought mroe pressure would mean more flow?

yeah well think about it - rail pressure is 42psi + your boost (maybe 12psi?)

Thats a total of 54psi fuel pressure needed to drive the injectors. I don't know about you but thats putting the pump on edge and I wouldn't risk it.

Its a POS.

Actually, it was meant for NA applications..... Its pretty obvious..

I am in the same dilema but I want something for 400-440wkw

My opinion is.... two walbros!!! Two walbros are cheaper than one 044! Here in Greece my mechanic said me that he saw many 044 to broke.. and aeromotive to broke...!! So he said me that with all pumps we have the danger to broke!

They broke either if you stay without fuel or if you leave the fuel for very long time (one aeromotive broke with the last way)!

If one of your two walbro damaged the other will work :D

So more safe!! :P

As I understand here in australian you don't use walbros... Here in Greece all people untill 500 fly hp use one walbro!

All are happy untill 500 with one walbro... too much scooby, evo etc!

After 500 you need a decent fuel setup as many people here told me what to do (surge tank solution with total 3 pumps)

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
