Which Fuel Pump To Run?

[Whatever I Like]

Hey guys.

Decided to get my ECU niztuned.

I have a S2 Stagea.

Just trying to go through and getting small stuff done before it goes through final stages.

At the moment it just runs on 12psi with FMIC, low mount hi-flow R33 turbo, Z32 AFM, full 3" exhaust and factory BOV.

I was looking at an in-tank Walbro 255 or an 044.

Can anybody tell me positives or negatives of these or if you have any other suggestions.

Cheers

Jason

Everyone will tell you not to get a walbro, blow your motor bla bla bla.

There are alot of walbro fakes out there, squillions. These are often hard to pick and can infact be the death of your motor.

Buying a walbro from a reputable resaler for its regular price (their cheap enough, dont go hunting a bargain) such as justjap for 175 is a great option.

The walbro is easier to install than the Bosch and is IMO better suited to the application. OEM pumps have a saddle bag filter attached to the pump, the 044 is not an internal pump and originally has a fitting on the end of it. The in tank 044 pumps have an extension to the body with a mesh filter over the end of it. Not only is it not the same design as the OEM pump (to fit the OEM tank and dimensions) but the mesh filter is not replaceable. Should you pick up a bad batch of fuel and need to change your fuel filters (in tank and engine bay) the walbros saddle bag is a clip on item. You will also need to buy a bolt on fitting adaptor for the pumps outlet of the 044, the walbro is compatible with the stock hose.

The 044 is a great pump, good to use as a pair for a high output car orfor a single external setup. Im not fussed about what others think about my opinion, but for a basic up to 300rwkw Nissan, I think the walbro is an excellent option.

FYI, evooz and evom have all far exceeded 300 ALL WHEEL KW running walbro fuel pumps and 98 ron. No reported failures of Genuine items.

Make sure it comes in the original walbro packaging, comes with a fitting kit and when you look in the inlet you can see metal gears inside and not plastic.

Cheers guys.

I can get the Walbro off VPW performance through work.

I'll have a bit more of a look into it before I get the cash out.

I'll doubt i'll get more than around 200AWKW out of it once tuned so I'm not needing a dual setup or anything over the top. Just something decent and new.

It hasn't had the works done to it just the basics, I haven't got that much cash haha.

Nismo fuelpump. It's shipped with replacement O ring, etc that you have to buy from Nissan dealership for non Nismo fuelpumps.
