Awesome - Got a dyno done on my car and the AFR stays at like 14ish from 1k rpm to 6k rpm >_<

So been taking it easy and saving for a fuel pump but it's hard when you just get your annual insurance bill... anyway I think I might go for this tomei pump too looks/sounds better then the others I have heard about.

Had a read through this and I think I can install it myself - well done guys and thanks!

yes easy to fit.. so I thought.. I can hear the pump (nismo) priming (or trying to) but it's bloody loud and doesn't sound right, sounds far to high pitched or something. Car doesn't start, so I assume it's not feeding fuel, but when I disconnected the hoses again after a little while the line was full of fuel. Disconnecting the line going back to the pump released a lot of air (from the tank I think).

Any one have any ideas? Could I just have the hoses connected the wrong way around or something? If that even matters.

Well i installed my walbro today (from sliding performance) anyway had a bit of trouble with the fuel pump isolator rubber that goes on the bottom, its to small to hold the pump in place on the standard bracket, so i modified the standard one by cutting it to fit the fuel pump as best i could, it sits slightly adjar bcoz of the filter sock that comes with this pump doesnt go down where the standard one goes it goes out to the side instead. i just want to know with this not being as deep as the standard one will i have trouble with fuel pick up etc?

also i zip tied the pump into place to stop it from moving. so it shouldnt slip off the bracket at all now. sounds a bit dodgey but we made sure it was sitting as close to stock as possible.

other then these problems it was all pretty straight forward.

id like to hear a few more story's of people who have installed walbro pumps to see if they had any problems with there installs?

Cheers

I did the walbro pump install, mine fitted fine with the smaller rubber bottom it came with. And the factory filter fits onto the walbro pump so you don't have fuel pick up problems when running low on gas. I found the walbro pump to be a very easy replacement.

the small rubber bottom i got doesnt fit tight like the standard one, the half round shape it fits into wasnt the same size on mine. so i just modified the standard one, seems to work just as good anyway, had no problems with it. pumps fine.

I installed Walbro, just had a good look at how std pump sat on bracket and then put Walbro in same place (slightly slower on bracket) using the rubber/foam sleeve it came with and 2 x steel threaded clamps (big hose clamps), used the filter sock from the std pump I think.

Changed it with fuel guage needle on empty line - started fine (on 2nd key turn) and hasn't missed a beat since, and I like to run to fuel light. (Yep change fuel filters regularly)

You can hear the pump if you listen for it and can hear the pitch change from idle voltage to on throttle voltage, certainly not an isue though, nice to know it's working.

FWIW: Nowhere near as loud as Bosch GTR pump in 200SX.

(If you use a Walbro they are very sensitive to voltage vs flow rate) there is a graph somwhere about fuel pump comparison for a Supra (US site), google it.

After reading the whole thread from page 1 to page 3, i can assume that the Nismo Fuel pump (which is identical to the Tomei one) WILL work with the stock Fuel regulator AND Stock injectors AND i do not need to install the included pressure valve .

    • 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?  😛
