Hi Fellow Wagoners

I just installed a new fuel pump a Walbro 255l and all went together fine except Now when i first take off or put my foot down in any gear it seems like the fuel pump is struggling for a second then off we go,,,,,,,

i noticed after it was all done and installed that everyone is direct wiring them will this fix my problem......Or is this a different problem like the ecu cant work out whats going on with the new pump .

I did try and search for this but came up with nothing other than you should directly wire the fuel pump to get the max out of your new pump...

Any help would be much appreciated...

Cheers

Yeah I'm to sure what's going on I might have to pull it back out and check all the hoses make sure there is no splits or anything but its almost like there isn't enough power voltage for the first surge of fuel then it catches up....

I read the thread title & thought your issue was with a small fuel pump & that maybe a larger fuel pump would fix it. Then I read you already had a 255L Wallbro.. mmm, I get it.

Reminds me of the time the radio lost & found announced: "Lost, a large brown lady's handbag". I always wondered that had they'd given a description of the handbag, then the large brown lady would stand a better chance of getting it back.

haha very true thanks for the interest though........i'm going to hard wire it this weekend then Nistune time finally.....

Lol at the dangling modifier examples.

If you only changed fuel pumps, and not fuel pressure regulator, then you shouldn't have any issues - car should run just as before. I have the Walbro GSS341 as well (the 255l/h pump) and have never bothered to hard-wire it. Made no difference to the tune when installed. It has been running on a Nistune tune with a higher fuel pressure and larger injectors for a couple of years now without issues.

I have seen it affect the tune many times, although other times it is fine. Just because you had no issues doesn't mean everyone will be fine, your car may have even been modified in Japan.

The Walbro's are usually problematic which is why I suggest hard wiring them, as that rules out any issues.

I hard wired the pump on Sunday and has fixed the problem........for the $50 worth of parts and 1h of my time well worth doing ......

Only thing when doing the mod was making sure you cut the right wires and put the right wire in the right spot on the Relay other than that pretty easy to do.......

Just keep a couple of spare Fuses in the car and your all good...

In case anyone else is interested in doing this mod the 2 wires leading to the fuel pump were Black /yellow + and purple -....there were 5 wires going to the top of the fuel tank the 2 pin plug is the one going to the fuel pump and those 2 wires were thicker than the rest so made sense.....

thanks for your help people......

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
