Installed a 255 lph walbro fuel pump this evening ..

while i dont have pics of doing this, have a few pointers for anyone else doing this mod ...

0. take off the battery negative and bend the earth strap back ! If possible have a fire extinguisher near by - general rule is no closer than 5 meters, and pref behind an object, upwind. (watch as my SES training comes in handy)

1. get a walbro pump ! the fitting is almost identical to the stock item. The pump i got from ebay came with all the necessary bits, and fits directly into the stock location, no modification at all ! even the sock filter from the stock item fits the new pump ! great !

2. use a thin ish peice of hardwood and hammer to get the black ring off ... its on pretty tight, and needs a fair knocking to break the seal.

3. when you take off the hoses from the white cap, the output line (to the engine) is under pressure - either leave it attached and just bend the pipe back, or when you take it off, immed direct the pipe back into the fuel tank ...

4. The new pump is thiner than the old one, so i just put a couple of zip ties around the pump and the mounting bracket for peice of mind.

5. make sure that your electrical connections are nice and secure, you have to cut and join 2 wires, just keep a note of which is which - you get some connectors with the pump.

6. IF you spilled any fuel anywhere. either make sure you wipe it all off, or hose down ....

7. when you are done, just turn on the ignition, dont start, let the pump re-pressurise the system first, takes about 5-8 seconds, then start ... all should be good !

Can't say i have noticed a difference in performance, this is just getting everything ready for the GCG high flow, injectors, fuel reg, afm, and PFC !!

rar

Cheers

haha good stuff :wave:

The propper tool if you have it is called a lock rich wrench. - Not sure how much they are.

Its not that difficult to change fuel pump, takes about 1hr in and out. - With a bit of muking around aswel.

Good guide! :uh-huh:

:wave:

Another interesting point when working on the fuel system is to remove the fuel pump fuse and start the engine letting it starve ( only takes a few seconds) to get the pressurised fuel out of the system.

Cheers!

um, yeah, twas an ebay jobbie ...

$199 inc shipping

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=2493214287

He seems to have a lot of them going ....

the pic on that auction is exactly what you get

expect for the r33 S2 GTS-T installation you do NOT need :

the fuel pipe

the sock filter

the clamps

re use the standard ones, and it like a stock pump ! just flows more !

cheers

What does 255L/hr translate to in the Walbros roughly in terms of power?

As i know they don't quote above boost pressure..

rough estimate will do.. as injectors, etc would make it vary I would have thought?

Would they be able to flow 300rwkw?

Just did a bit of google - looks like at 72psi which the Bosch's are rated at = ~190L/Hr in the walbro (using the graph below).. so this translates into roughly a Bosch 910 in terms of flow... Not for big really HP.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
