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.

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)

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
