Hey all

I've used walbro fuel pumps for a few years now, I've had the same one in my Nissan for 6 years and in my rx7 for 4 years.

But having recently purchased one 8 montbs ago for my gtr which failed within 3 months and then having it replaced and now the new one failing I can't help but feel they have massively lost their QC.

Has anyone else had any issues with the latest iterations and what other would you recommend I don't really want to replace it with another walbro

Thanks in advance

What car is it fitted to a r32 or 33/34?

Which walbro pump did you buy?

 

[rageyourdream]

The 255 lph model, into my r33 gtr

Have you got the pump in the bottom of the tank? Walbro fuel pumps are not lift pumps so if there positioned in the same place as the standard pump they won't last long

Nope it was relocated, not sure why I've had issues :-/

Has anyone else had issues with the latest walbro ones or am I just incredibly unlucky?

Are you sure you got a pump made in USA, not just a chinese fake item? Many of them on ebay are chinese, not genuine. Maybe that's the reason. It's like chinese turbo, it works but not long
Anyway, 255 lph version doesn't hold pressure really good under boost, so, I don't recommend using it if your boost is over 1.2 bar.

Yeah definitely USA as the first one went back to them for warranty

That definitely means either Walbro degrades in quality or you have a very bad karma concerning fuel pumps
