hmmm i got 294 hp running a HKS 2535 pumping out 17 psi on my R33 would there be a problem?

they said they max out at like 400hp so it sounds like you would be sweet

i'v got one on the way and i would only be pushing like hopefully 260rwhp when im finished getting everything i need so i should be sweet to hey

my mates soarer made 440rwhp on dyno with one walbro 255 and no problem in past 3 years.

In america the yanks (mostly supras and gto's, etc) absolutely love the walbros and dont even bother with bosch, these are big hp and big budget cars, they use like 4 walbros intank rather than going bosch or anything else. These guys run big workshops and swear by walbro on every car so why the bad name around here? Dont buy cheap ebay copy shit ones and you might be suprised :(

i used to love the walbro's but after having a spate of them unable to crack 200rwkw latley (last november) i have been sworn against them, 3 were bought from a large victorian speed shop and the other 2 from tweak it (probably all the same batch)

fitting 040's fixed the issue on all 5 cars.

Most people here on Okinawa run Walbro's with no problems. I have twin walbro's in tank and have had no problems for over a year now, and I ran a single one at over 400rwhp a couple of years prior to that. That pump is still in the tank along with another one. There has been a rash of the fake ones popping up though. A lot of reputable dealers get them to distribute and don't even know they are fakes from what I've heard.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
