nope, I had one, leaned out at 280rwkw and above.

at 300rwkw, the afrs wouldn't go below 12.8:1, even with the injectors completely maxed in the power FC.

Have you seen the flow chart? Watch the blue line below 60psi.... Terrible!

mine saw the end of its performance @ 240-250rwkw

Walbro's are a mixed bag.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont... i wasnt even running upped rail pressures over normal conditions

There are FAR too many threads now with people and Walbros who have fuel issues.

I simply dont trust them. Have used Bosch for the lasf 4 years since.

mine was ok, just ran out of flow.

Remember the ratings -

Walboro 255 is 255lph at 40psi

Nismo 275lph is at 275lph at 70psi (What I have now)

Nismo is a perfect pump, drops straight in like factory, has a factory bracket, hoses and plug etc. I'll never touch a bosche.

and walbro rate there pumps at a voltage which isnt achieved in a "normal" car, sneaky haha

whats terrible about it? i dont look at fuel flow graphs often but it seems to flow a fair bit below 60psi? its above 60 that it really drops off. and why does more pressure result in less flow? i thought mroe pressure would mean more flow?

yeah well think about it - rail pressure is 42psi + your boost (maybe 12psi?)

Thats a total of 54psi fuel pressure needed to drive the injectors. I don't know about you but thats putting the pump on edge and I wouldn't risk it.

Its a POS.

Actually, it was meant for NA applications..... Its pretty obvious..

I am in the same dilema but I want something for 400-440wkw

My opinion is.... two walbros!!! Two walbros are cheaper than one 044! Here in Greece my mechanic said me that he saw many 044 to broke.. and aeromotive to broke...!! So he said me that with all pumps we have the danger to broke!

They broke either if you stay without fuel or if you leave the fuel for very long time (one aeromotive broke with the last way)!

If one of your two walbro damaged the other will work :D

So more safe!! :P

As I understand here in australian you don't use walbros... Here in Greece all people untill 500 fly hp use one walbro!

All are happy untill 500 with one walbro... too much scooby, evo etc!

After 500 you need a decent fuel setup as many people here told me what to do (surge tank solution with total 3 pumps)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
