Hello all just wanted to check i wanted to purchase a Walbro e85 fuel pump part no F9000267 and also get a fitting kit 400-0085 as well to install into my Nissan skyline gtr 34.

Can any one confirm that it can be done what about piping and remote pick up with the sock as i know the gtr 34 has a fuel pump that sits high and has a remote hose that has a sock for intank fuel pick up from the base of the tank .

Will await to hear your answers.

thanks in advance

I did this 3 days ago, I had a Nismo pump in there already, I got the E85 pump with the rubber sock for the 255 pump cut the end off it and put it over the pump then hose clamped it to the factory location then took the fitting off the bottom of the Nismo pump and fitted it to the Walbro and refitted the factory hose to the fitting, then pushed the factory hose onto the top of the pump

I soldered the two wires into the factory ones about 100mm apart heat shrink then and zip tied so the two joints can't get close to each other

then I drilled a -6 bulkhead into the tank lid with hose fitting, attached the hose from the pump to that and ran the a hose from the top of that to the surge tank then two hoses from the surge tank back to the two factory tank ports

Many thanks for that,

So it fits ok no worries no problems, just need to find a way of not cutting the original Nissan fuel pump connector off, don't really want to as I might one day want to put the original back inside, so need some backward compatibility .

And under normal conditions the pump has the male end of the connector built into it .......

Any ideas on that part ?

From what I can tell the bottom of the pump from walbro has a foot sock attachement with a normal circlip crimp that pushes over the exposed stud, does this mean that the pipe comes with this sock/foot type attachment with a crimp style connector ?

I wouldn't be using the long hose remote pickup personally, as the pump will suck air through the fitting at anything under 1/2 tank. I would be trying to get the pump into the very bottom of the tank, into the cup in the bottom if there is one, and use the sock that comes in the box...

a bit concerned any one else done the conversion ? at this stage id be more inclined to go with a uprated nismo or tomei pump to feed the need for the e85 fuel as it seems more a likely replacement for the stock location and plugs but also because of the fuss of the bottom hose to sock connector ?

how about get a GT-t fuel pump cradle? I'm sure it will fit and now the fuel pump will sit at the bottom of the tank :)

It seems Walbros always need to be submerged, there are 2x little pin holes at the bottom of the pump.

I just picked up the same pump on the weekend, will be fitting it also (when I'm bothered) haha

why did Nissan have to go and make the gtr tank so different, I don't have a cradle for a GT-t and no access to one but let me know if this works and I will have to make a plan to get one .... tut tut any one else fitted one and managed to get a away with a install in the stock location with a long hose going into the tank with remote sock ? I presume the pin holes are there for lubrication etc ? and it being a intank pump will need to be submerged to work properly ..... what a pain

only just saw this, when I fitted mine the fuel light was on, fitted it the put direct power to it from battery and pumped out the last of the fuel, no probs, but I am running a 9 liter surge tank now and the walbro is just to feed it

the GT-T cradle would be a good idea but looking at it it doesn't look like it would fit so you would most likely need the whole tank

if the nismo is going to supply your fuel needs then that would be the way to go, just a tip the nismo pump is a factory TT supra pump :ermm:

the first Walbro turbine pumps have issues with the pin holes not being submerged but it was my understanding/i 'd been led to believe that this had been fixed with the new E85 ones

  • 4 months later...

so has anyone had success with setting up a new 450 l p/h walbro F9000267 in tank ? for e85 setup and is it really necessary to run a surge tank ?im looking at just over 400 kw

also what are you using for fuel rail setup ??

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
