walbro are good if you get a genuine walbro, and its the 255lph high pressure version.

non genuine, 190l versions, non high pressure versions, all not suitable for performance.

its critical that you get the right one.

people bag them out, but i can guarantee they haven't been genuine or the correct walbro pump.

took me ages to find a genuine pump when i needed one, but its great :thumbsup:

Sure, a pump can be doa, but it's unliekly. The question you should be asking yourself is, how much knowledge do you have in relation to installing pumps, wiring correctly etc.

Is the pump getting power? can you hear it prime? did you put the fuel pump relay back in? tested the wiring for power etc?

It's really hard diagnosing a problem over the internet.

i tested the wiring for power. there's power running through the wires. the only problem is there is no sound coming out from the pump.

so i guess it is spoilt.

however, does anyone knows the model number for the BOSCH 040 IN-TANK FUEL PUMP?

please post if anyone knows.

I kinda need the number.

Cheers.

before you go buying another pump i would check to make sure that it is in right, sounds like you have the + and - round the wrong way. also check the ground to make sure it is all good

is there any way to check the pump without putting into the car?

as in, check whether it is working.

Thanks.

If you wanna know Bosch vs Walbro - do a search.

End of the day, IMO they are sh|t.

I tried and tested a brand new, legit one (3-4 years ago). It didnt come close to what was expected of it

What's your reasons for thinking the Bosch and Walbro are shit?

What are your recommendations for a better fuel pump? Nismo? Tomei?

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
