are the walbros a direct factory replacement? where can you get a genuine one from? be interesting to see how they compare price wise with the bosch 040s for those of us with stockish rb25dets

As long as you get one specific to your car it'll be a straight swap. I've done 2x32 Gts-t's, 1x32 GT-R, and 1xLegnum with no issues.

You can get them at any good performance shop, or eBay. Beware on eBay though as some mobs are selling the knockoffs as genuine Walbro.

Mine was legit, 6 years ago before all these fakes appeared on the market 270rwkw, that was show over for my Walbro.

13:1 AFR's. Bosch pump change over, 10:1

So now the Walbro just gets used as a lift pump for my surge tank.

The issue with Walbros is pressure, they are FINE for N/A power applications - as boost climbs, so does pressure, flow rate then drops off.

There are graphs around here and on the net of the various comparo's.

If you intend on running more than 240rwkw and 15psi - get a bosch or a similar jap/other more suited pump.

Otherwise just for the above the Walbro item is a cheap and good solution.

Sorry but that is just total bullshit... We ran 29psi through my car not more than a month ago making over 270rwkw with 11.5 afrs with no fuel issues.

We also have run 20psi through a Supra last year making 330rwkw with no fuel issues!!!

You are duly misinformed!

How many of you people have removed your tank to clean it when changing a pump? Walbro or Bosch....if you didn't have the tank cleaned, then you cannot make fair comment on either one failing.

I have always, and always will judge them on flow rate

post-10554-1280493580_thumb.png

At 60psi the flow rate drops to 50 gallons per hour which is 189L/hr. The standard fuel pump is virtually the same. The Bosch intank pumps flow 200 L/hr at 70psi. At 60psi they are still doing approx 230L/hr.

Anyone running 15-20psi of boost will see rail pressures of around 60psi

Since when goes a Skyline pump run on 12V, get a clue and rewire your pump correctly and you will get 13.8V of constant power... This means according to your graph you will get 60 gallons per hour which is 227L per hour!

You do realise that 227L per hour times by 1000 to make cc divided by 60 to get min and then divided by 6 injectors of a RB = enough fuel to flow over 600cc injectors CONSTANTLY

My question is how much power can you make from 600cc injectors?!?

Even 189L per hour at 12V is enough to feed 500cc injectors...

Get a clue?

You need to calm the f**k down asshole

I think I'll be needing to uprate the GTR one sat in my 33gtst - I'm aiming for 370kw (500bhp) so hoping a tomei or nismo one will help me get there - would rather pay the pennies altho that said dont these guys just basically rebadge a bosch044 or bosch 040 or something?

To the guys using walbro pumps with big power and big injectors. I'll bet my left nut that duty cycle or Injector opening time is way more that what it needs to be,

Ive been doing some research on this and if you have injectors big enough you can make big power with a walbro but the injectors are open for a lot longer than what they need to be, and the fuel basicly just dribbles out, causing bad atomisation etc etc,

I has seen similar things to ash, where cars have had 750cc injectors and ~280-300rwkws and the injectors are approaching between 70-80% duty cycle when they really should be just ticking over.

Same guys added 2x 044s and screwed some fuel pressure in to it (single hole injectors with a less than ideal spray pattern) injector duty went back to 50% and the car no longer belched out tonnes of black smoke due to the better burn in the chambers from having better fuel atomisation.

Holy epic post for 9am Saturday lol

just thought I'd add I fitted my walbro nearly 3 years ago. the car is making 350rwkw's without issue. the only reason I'm going to upgrade is for future plans to run the fruit juice

Which model walbro Gss-341 or Gss-342?

I'm running a walbro, making somewhere in the vicinity of 270+ rwkw I've yet to do the hard wire (will be done in the next week or 2) and running seimens deka 550cc injectors... The highest duty cycle I've seen according to nistune so far is about 40%

Where's a good place to buy a bosch 040 from? Are they genuine ones on ebay? cheers

Autobarn. A bit exxy (bout 50 bucks more or so), but you get it same day, wham, bam thankyou ma'am. When i blew my pump on a skidpan, i simply got a lift with a mate to autobarn. Bought it, and within 40min i was back on the pan =)

get on the yank car forums for most models and even the biggest budget buildups are using 2 or 3 or even 4 walbro setups, they seem to think they are fine and making big power. Ive never read a bad word about them on those forums and its the most common used pump for those platforms. Ive seen in person one pump make 440rwhp on a 3l turbo engine without drama and still going strong 4+ years later.

    • I've done this both ways, I'd use the original loom & swap plugs on the engine side as you'll usually end up changing a lot of those anyway. Series 1 is usually non ABS which requires wiring which I can't remember how to do as haven't done it for over 15 years. The auto inhibitor is easy to bypass or in the meantime you can put it in neutral & unbolt it & tape it somewhere in the bay haha, then just wire reverse lights. I'd go straight to aftermarket ecu. A few basics are built in ignitor coils & reverse the CAS wiring, sort the plugs for whatever injectors & IAC-you can use an adaptor for the neo type otherwise the s1 will still work, use the knock sensors that suit the loom & it'll be pretty much running.  
    • This is for an RB20DET. Sorry for not including that. 
    • Welp, this is where my compression lands after my rebuild. Thoughts? I have ~6 hours on the motor. 
    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
