after 6 months mine died. Ended up end filter that was supplied with it ended up decaying, and sucking itself into the pump, until eventually it was pretty useless.. car would randomly stall, not start, etc. That is what I would say most likely caused the problem.. if not the pump just crapped itself.

try and not use the stock filter. But others have had random failures with them..

mine runs fine, no problems and very happy in fact.

you can re-use the stock sock filter just to be safe, though predator is the only person i've heard of who has experienced this problem before. I'm interested to hear who else is having problems with walbros, and who they bought them off if "plenty of people are haiving problems" with them.

Another note, there is a thread about someone on this forum who has been selling Walbro rip-off's(Cefiro_PWA) (which don't have proper model number & walbro logo & pat numbers stamped on them), be wary of them, as they are not the same quality as proper walbro's.

It's sticked in the for sale section / parts & acc classifieds fyi

My mates Walbro pump cacked it after about 10months (180sx). I also had a Walbro, however when my car was on the dyno one time my tuner told me that my car was leaning out and believed that it was the pump starting to fail, but im not 100% convinced that it was the pump. I replaced it with a Bosch 040

Im pretty sure though that my pump was a genuine Walbro as it had the emblem and serial number engraved on the pump.

There was a fair few copies going round though on NS.com

mine i am pretty positive is genuine walbro.. and like above had the proper markings I am pretty sure..

when i get around to it 2nd time around, I am either going GTR pump or Bosch.. I thought giving the walbro was worth a try at a bit of a cheaper price, but don't think I would do it again.

I agree , you pay Peanuts ,ya get monkeys. Have been thru this Walbro scenario. Cost me money for a piece of snot!

Bought a more expensive Tommie, vehicle specific , will never cut corners again.

how can say that?

A walbro is not far off the price of a bosch unit.

So people arent cutting corners at all. Just the product is crap.

mine didnt come close to flowing what it said on paper. Changed to a bosch and the AFR's went ridiculously rich.

No more walbro for me either. Im just using it as a lifter pump

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
