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.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
