Hi all, I hope this isnt a previously discussed topic, did search my best but probably missed it. mods please delete/block if already discussed.

I want to know if anyone has experience with this 'new'? pump from walbro, figures are impressive but is it going to fit and work in my 33 gtst?

I asked in another topic but wasn't really answered.

I have a 255lp/h one running somewhere around the 280-300kw mark with not a worry, but will be heading to about 340-350 ish soon, i dont have a problem with buying a nismo or anything but for the money can one of these exceed?

So, opinions? http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.asp?ic=F90000262&eq=&Tp=

Cheers

I know right, seems ridiculously large flow, but even granted that it most likely wont flow that, should surpass what ill be using it for. Interesting read that thanks.

With those numbers it should support monsterous power... Sounds too good to be true

Ever heard of anyone trying one?

Maybe ill be a guinea pig unless there's a reason why not to give it a red hot go?

**CORRECTION**... Looking @ the graph again on the link, it's @ 14v/70psi with a claimed 320LPH :O

I'm even more dubious now, and would certainly like to see these tested independently.

The problem is all manufacturers claim/rate @ different levels, voltages, pressures etc. It's always hard to compare upfront.

I try to work towards 70psi as a "marker" and using 14v. Of course sometimes you have to improvise as figures are only supplied with 13.5v or 14.2v etc.

Anyway the reason behind "70" is the base. Which is what, 38-42 psi.

So +25psi of boost is 60-65psi. Round it off to 70psi and it should cover off most situations, or if you wanted to bump rail pressures running say 20psi and get a bit more out of injectors.

its about time they did something, the previous pumps are JUNK, these days I won't even let a car on the dyno if it has a walbro pump.

No matter what happens they allways eventually fail or they NEVER flow enough. I hate them with a passion they cause me soo much grief.

We put 2 in a supra, and after 3 weeks one just stopped working and it toasted the engine.

Would have to see how this goes, im going to order a few and try them.

I feel your pain mate...

My Walbro has been slowly dying in the arse (less than 2 years old and 10k's) after recent power upgrades - it cannot keep up with 250rwkw@14v :down:

There seems to be people happily running these numbers with them (e.g. dyno results thread)... but also just as many with problems these days!

Fuel supply is not something I want to leave up to chance... god knows what damage has already been done (hello knock!)

P.S Just purchased one of these 300lph Deatschwerks to replace the Walbro:

It flows the same as an 044 and is a drop-in, in-tank replacement at a lower cost.

Anyone got any first hand experience with these new pumps???

Also would the Deatschwerks 300lph pump support a 400-450rwkw gtr on e85???

Not a hope, considering you will need 1000cc injectors at a minimum, x6=360lph, but that flow is not at the pressure that you will need (approx 70psi)

Got my new pump today... looks little. but where impeller is is huge... wont know how it goes till next dyno run next month

Possible you could test it? Similar to the link earlier???

Would be VERY handy, and could include it into SAU Reviews :)

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
