hi, I just ordered a walbro pump for my r33gts. IT seems to have leads instead of the standard pumps screw terminals.

How do I install it? If I solder the new wires on will standard heatshrink be ok in the tank(and will not melt in petrol, and short)?

Or can I screw the two o-terminals together, and somehow insulate them?

Anyone remember how they did it?

cut, solder, heatshrink it and it will be fine. cable tie the wires seperatly if worried about that.

what i usually do when joining wires is stagger them. so dont cut and join both nect to each other make one join shorter or further down then the other join. i do this for all kinds of wiring jobs and it makes it neater and a little bit more reliable.

crimped bullet connectors work awesome if you do a decent job of it, just make sure they're insulated sufficiently. today i pulled out my walbro which i used cheap shitty connectors with a few years ago, havent caused any problems but since i was putting the bosch in i decided to tidy up the wiring, and came up with this setup, now theres no more cutting required when i change pump.

also i've put an extra ground it (just for fun) that goes directly to chassis through the pump cradle, theres a spade terminal connector up top there on the factory cradle so what else could that possibly be for?

make sure you run the wires in such a way that they wont foul the float switch as it comes up.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
