Hello,

12CM x 4.5CM = Same as walbro as far as i know.

I think you should be fine,these pumps will flow plenty of horses... Throw it in and wind the boost up and see yourself.. we have a video of our car (R33 GTS-t) Running 1.5bar with a walbro and nice fuel pressure.

Not sure why everyone is dissing walbro pumps. :confused:

PUMP^KING^007

Its not the fact were dissing Walbro pumps, just trying to find out if this bloke Cefiro_PWA sold Genuine Walbro pumps or copies, can anyone confirm if there is any writing on a genuine Walbro pump as mine has nothing

Hello,

Looks like there was a few people that purchesed these off "CEFIRO_PWA". I am australia's biggest Walbro/Sard/Bosch supplier, If anyone can give me his contact number i will do my best and play a role of doing a cheap big sale for him.

Thank you.

p.s not every walbro has writing, depending on which stock you get, and which model. Tose dimensions are the 700BHP model.... We sell them for $189.99c!

May i ask how much you people paid?

I've had some dodgy dealing with this guy too, bought a pump off him, took 5 weeks to arrive, and only after I threatened to have him banned. Blitz is aware of his antics. I too don't believe the pump I was sent was a genuine Walboro, I've seen the Walboro's before, I won't be risking this on my engine.

Got in contact with...was given a tracking number. TJ try and get in contact with him, he is picking up his phone. AND its 0432, not 0423, dont do the same mistake as me....not nice... :)

Hello,

I am being terrified from what i am hearing. There is two kinds of walbro's you get from the states.

One with blue top lids, and one with black top lids. I was told from Walbro USA they are the high-pressure , High horsepower output models. They are $129each , if you buy over 50 of them at once. The black top ones are cheaper,450bhp low-pressure model's... They are not worth anymore then $60.00 USD each direct from supplier.

If you guy's recieved the ones i am thinking of , then you should be dead-set lucky!

Cheers

Seriously how can you tell?

I have heaps of dealings on this forum. I think this is taken too lightly.

I think before someone is allowed to trade there should be a qualifictation or something like on E Bay or the likes .

This guy is a damn criminal , ripps people off by using a fraudulant trick.

This is jail time!

fair enough, but before I buy off someone I haven't dealt with before I do a couple of things:

1. check their recent post history and threads started to try and get a feel for what they are like.

2. check their trader rating (obviously any negatives is a bad sign)

3. open comunication with them via telephone or email (so I have some more contact details).

that is the best advice I can give you.

now for some more practical advice. if you want to check this pump it's quite simple. you need two buckets. the pump, a full charged car battery, some fuel. now if it's rating is at XXX PSI I guess you will have to hook up a reg too.

you just need to fill one bucket with fuel have the pumps pick-up in there, run the pumps outlet to the other bucket, run the pump for one minute exactly and measure how much fuel it flows in one minute then times by 60 and you get your litres/hour.

Hello,

It doesn't have to be fuel to do this test, it can be water... Just make sure you blow dry the pump and its internal's once you are finished.

I doubt you would get a chance to do 1minute with a blue-top walbro in a 10L bucket :)

PUMP^KING^007

yeah, you could do 30seconds and times by 120. the reason i suggested fuel is purely to save having water in the pump. but yes I'm sure whatever fluid would give a fairly close result. 10 litres a minutes is 600 litres per hour though, that will be one serious pump!!

havent done the test yet, the lids are blue

:confused: and how much did you say you paid for this??? I know i wont sell these for less then $189 myself... They cost me over $129 to order in a big batch of 30-50 pumps.

Please do the test.

Yeh the Lids are Blue , came with no instructions or numbers on them, i need physical sizes of a real Walpro to compare , mine is for the GTr and is supposed to flow 255 l p hour, any one got a pic of the Walpro pump that we could have a look at?

Spoke to this guy to day, got a # thru members .

He reckons it's the real deal ???????I think i know his name but i shall keep this up my sleave, until we are definetly positive that it's a fake , which i will bet my left nut it is .

What significance will the colour of the lid make?

I paid $145.00 for it.

i reckon you have all got original walbros... they are small, i had the same thoughts when the first came out and got one... do the test someone'

anyhow, id like his details, as we are chasing him over other matters.

cheers

tj

they should come in a plastic bag, with a separate plastic bag which contains:

- Install Instructions

- Sock Filter

- Electrical Connector,

- 2 Hose Clamps

- Piece of hose

- Rubber thing that goes on bottom of pump to hold sock filter in

I was contacted by this guy, who was claiming that he sells them to the guy I buy them from. However this isn't the case, as we get them directly from the US.

I guess the price he was offering was too good to be true!!

CEFIRO_PWA is on the bad traders list aka mines_datsun, redfc, doridori32. His contact details are listed, for anyone who cares to contact him about the matter.

I can't believe this has happened again, this scam artist has been ripping people off for ages. Perhaps some of the people who have been ripped off by this guy should unite....

Pump King, or should I say Cefiro_PWA, its clear you think that people here at SAU are extremely gullible - either that or you are a complete idiot.

Your posting in here reaked as suspicious along with your join date not to mention the fact you are trying to trade here using an email with the same user name as one of your phone bank accounts that you supplied under your AE of Cefiro_PWA.

You have been reported to the police so do yourself a favour and quit before you get yourself even further up shit creek.

Ok, I've been asked for pics of what the Walbro pumps are ment to be...

they are a lot smaller than a stock fuel pump, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better!!

the body of the pump measures approx 10cm x 4cm (not including plug & fuel feed lines)

It should have stamped on the body:

__ _ __

|walbro|  GSS-341

|_____|  13405-1  MADE IN USA

              PAT 4500270 5421306

This is for Walbro GSS-341 255L/hr High Pressure fuel pump.

It has a black top. there are other model walbro's which have different model numbers!

Here are pics of what you should get when you order one. (I took these this afternoon).

Hope this helps guys!

-TK

Yer it came in a bodgy parcel, no sender ID, no name, no address just a mobile number : 0432 616 833

 

The dimensions of the pump are 12cm x 4.5cm

 

The reason why i think its not genuine is because it has no part No. or any Walbro name on the pump

 

I havent put the pump in yet, should i be cautious in putting it into the car?

Yeh,

i surely am!

How can any idiot expect to sell and then send a part , particularly a pump, with no instructions , Part number no ID at all , only a a niave person would put it in the tank and cross their fingers and hope all go"s OK.I mean what person with would do that?? Maybe one with an IQ of 90 and under!

I've had some dodgy dealing with this guy too, bought a pump off him, took 5 weeks to arrive, and only after I threatened to have him banned. Blitz is aware of his antics. I too don't believe the pump I was sent was a genuine Walboro, I've seen the Walboro's before, I won't be risking this on my engine.

Me either!

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
