hey,

just thought i'd let everyone know that theres a guy in the US who is selling the 255 litre walbro fuel pumps really cheap.

Under $200 (australian) to your door step.

i think its a pretty could buy considering the bosch 040's and 044 go for over of $300.

I am ordering mine tommorow.

if you want his contact or want me to order you one aswell, let me know.

Just thought i'd let eveyone know, that there are pumps other than bosch. I think these go for around $250 here in australia from the shops.

And this fits straight into silvia tanks, and a lot more.

he has all sorts of pumps as you can see.

i am not in this to make a buck, just thought i'd pass on a pretty decent buy.

And with the australian dollar at around 60 cents (last time i checked), he said my silvia in tank 255litre an hour is only $160 delivered.

Now dont think it gets much better than that.

he buys thousands at a time thus the cheap price.

Any Perth SAU members interested in doing this at all? If so we could get it ordered all at one time.

This is an upgrade for the r33gtst fuel pump yeah? If it is can you please let me know as i would be interested? Does any one know if these are as noisy as the bosch fuel pumps?

Russ...

still the walbro looks cheap!

dabigbolf

all the wiring and setip same as the 044 pump?

hey,

this is definatley an upgrade.

However i am gettting some mixed responses from people.

This pump is not better than the bosch 040, however its an alternative. Its a good intank fuel pump for the price.

I am going to copy this email that i received from someone who has had experience with the pump on his evo.

"I use to have one of these pumps in my EVO6, and if you have a good look at the fuel delivery curve that comes with the pump, you will see that 255lph is at no fuel pressure. At 3.2bar (which is approx system pressure) there is about 195lph (13.5V), and under turbo boost ie. 4.2bar approx there is 176lph (13.5v). So this pump is worse off compared to even a Bosch 040 pump which pushes out about 220lph (13.5v) at 3.5bar.

Compare it to the NISMO pump at 275lph at 3.2bar and we all know why we have to pay so much for it.

I almost blew my engine when I had the Walbro pump in my car because it was at the limit pushing 220rwkw and decided that it would drop from 4.5bar to 3.2bar of fuel pressure at around 6000rpm because it couldn't keep up the fuel flow.

If your RB25 is going to make some good hp, you will be at the limit with the Walbro pump. If you want cheap, my advice is to look for the 910 bosch pump instead and have it as a secondary inline."

so yeah thats basically what i been told, they seem to proudce less litres at different pressures.

Which would make the bosch 040 a better pump. But it depends on how much power you are looking for I spose. But what would be good is if you used this pump as an infeed and the external one as the direct feed as the guy was saying. But depends on your setup.

email the guy on the website. he is reliable and i think you pay by paypal.

only $160 so i guess its pretty good for the price. Inasnt, you gotta hook me up with one of those $250 044 pumps. i been priced around $380.

will give this pump a shot first though.

take the info as you see need, it could be the right pump for you, it might not be, ever car is different.
