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)

    • Just get rid of the orignal low impedance injectors, replace with modern high impedance injectors, and you won't need the resistors. Wire direct, as per any other engine.
    • Tao, we're not talking about the ECU boost ref. We're talking about the wastegate signal source.
    • Flapping up and down is a consequence of the varying pull on the belt. When the engine speed is suddenly increased, the tension in the belt increases too. When that engine accel changes to decel, the tension is reduced and turns up as a little extra length of beltes between the pulling and dragging pulleys. That extra length flaps up, then down. There's all sorts of other harmonic stuff going on too.
    • hello ladies and gentlemen so i’ve swapped a rb26dett into my r33 gtst and ive come across many speed bumps but its nearly over what im having issues with is the injector resistor box that are normally on the RB26 fuse box but im still using my rb25 fuse box and as a result my injectors aren’t getting power and is the last thing i need to figure out so the car can start. can anyone help me out on where i can find a wiring diagram for the rb26 harness to see where the injectors are supposed to receive power 
    • The boost pressure at the compressor cover will be higher than at inlet manifold. lets say, trying to hold 20 psi flat at 7000 RPM. If your wastegate opens at 20 psi measured at the compressor cover, the engine may only be seeing 16 psi. Your base pressure reading at engine would be 20psi by 4K and 16psi by 7K while your MAP at compressor housing still reads 20psi at 7K. For this reason your ECU's MAP source is never on the compressor cover. This difference isn't a major concern if you're using an electronic boost controller (EBC).
