In the market for a fuel pump now, and having looked around the site most people seem to upgrade to a 040 or a 044. Whats the advantage of these over the Walbro 255? the 255 is cheaper, and flows more than the 040.

When i upgrade my fuel pump in my r33, is there anything else i need to get ie. regulator?

Try doing a search on Walbro, you will be amazed what you find when you do a search. If you had done a search before posting this often asked question, you would have found lots of great info that would provide an answer. The search button is your friend, use it often.:(

PS; Did I mention that you should do a search?

:D at SK, you typed out enough about the seach button to tell him whats, what...

Anyway,

The walbro pumps are good but you pay for what you get, they are only able to get around 265rwkw's on a R33 so i'd use one of this for a serge tank set-up.

The 044 as ben said is rated at around 700hp, I wouldn't recomend inless you are after around 500hp at the wheels. Depends on what horsepower you'r after, 250rwkw's = walbro anthing over that go the 040.

:(

P.S did i mention to use the seach funtion he he :flame: :(

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
