not sure on a 32 but on a 33 you either can solder the stock clamps that the screw usually goes through onto the fuel pump or cut it off and buy clamps that would go over the walbro fuel pumps prongs either way its abit of a hassle

yeah i just received my pump and the walbro uses a plug... its pretty much the same thing as normal.

daxter: i was advised by a workshop to get either the 342 or 341.

"The GSS-341 and GSS-342 are the exact same pump mechanically and in flow rates. The only difference is that the GSS-342 has the inlet on 180degrees rotated on the other side, ie: left as opposed to right, so the inlet and outlet are in line."

ahhh ok, I guess ether one is fine, I was told to get the GSS-341 :woot:

Did you get the fitting kit too? (400-766) that should make it real easy to fit.

i got everything i needed; clamps, tube and crimps

to be honest i thought it was a more annoying install than the bosch because the pump doesn't fit back in with the filter on (as i took the whole assembly right out of the tank and did it)

in the end the pump didn't fix my problems so it was all a waste of money and time. damn fumes :)

Yeah those fumes are crazy, my car is going to smell like gas for a few weeks :D

I'm not sure I understand your problem? It should all slot straight back up easy.

  • 3 weeks later...

I crimp and solder every connection. Be aware the plastic shroud on most crimp ends will degrade in fuel, so just remove. 12v wont readily bridge a gap, just double check your solder connections.

What are the issues you experiencing, that the new pump didn't fix?

Just got my walbro is it safe to crimp the wires inside of the fuel cell just dont want it sparking and blowing up lol?

Crimping is fine if done correctly but generally soldering is preferred, just make sure you use shrink sleeve :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
