Bosch Vs Walbro

[phenline]

ok looking at a new fuel pump, the walbro is cheaper but it says allows similar flow rates the bosch costs more what is the diffrence? i would like to eventually run up to 300hp@ the rear wheels running about 220atm.

any help would be nice. I also searched and couldnt find much else on this.

thanks!

Go for the bosch or even better go for a nismo or tomei, i wouldnt touch the walboro, have heard so many bad things about them.

i have a walbro. no problems.

bosch vs walbro... 1 you have to reach down the back of ur throat to say properly and the other is relatively sensible.

[phenline]

i have a walbro. no problems.

did you notice much of a diff after you had installed your walbro? what kind of power do you run with it?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

I am yet to go for my full tune (before i need a rebuild no doubt). after my FMIC are on, my injectors and Z32 AFM are installed, an after I get a Haltech E11 ecu ill let you know. dont hold ur breath lol. The current mods I have are a turbo back 5 zigen/custom dump exhaust system 3.25 inch. GT3076R turbo @ 12-13psi (16 psi once) on a Turbosmart boost T. and some wierd ecu that doesnt rich and retard on me.

Performance as far as I can tell has been good, even better after i mounted it lower into my tank to suck past 1/4 of a tank to empty. (i installed it myself).

hey theres about million threads on this walbro run a 15v system, bosch run 12 and there f**kloadds of dodgy copy walbros out there so if you get one get a genuine one, i have one reckon its good but heaps of horro stories

i had 2 die on me, must have been the dogy walbro. Got a bosch o44 now. sweet as

[overpowered]

my mate is making 440rwhp with a single intank walbro 255L unit and never had one issue so they can be pretty good, but for the extra $$ i'd personally go a bosch for extra safety.

[R32-PSH77]

i got a Bosch 023. mounted it myself.. took a few attempts to get it as close to the bottom of the tank with out it touching. and never had any dramas with 1/4 surging. would recommend the bosch over the walbro for piece of mind. purely and simply

plus there not that much more. picked mine up for 219 delivered

There are bosch knock-offs as well.

Buy from a reputable seller/workshop and make sure it's installed correctly and either should do exactly what you want. I've been running a 255L/H walbro for months.

I've used a walbro in the past. Ran 195 rwkw no probs. Now run a 040 which i think is muchbetter. I asked a workshop why do you dislike the walbro and was given the response well have you ever seen a bosch 040 and a walbro side by side the walbro is half the size if not smaller, so how could it perform the same as the bosch!

um have you seen the denzo pumps there tiny but flow massive amounts....

[tek_01]

walbro in for the past few months, 205rwkw no problem of it dying

[siddr20]

Yup another walbro user.

got mine from kudos motorsport. (hes taken the link down now, so i dont know the exact specs- Think it said it supports up to 500HP)

No dramas with mine at all..

been 2 months now...

i have a WALBROW GSS342 mine pushing 217 rwKs on a standard setup engine. Works well no issues there. Theer are cheep walbrows and bosh pumps. Just make sure that you get the pumps form propper dealers and you should have no issues.

I have used walbrow before on several cars, and no probs, but i have had 2 bosh pumps die before, not 040 though.
