[Jostar]

YES IT IS!!! that piece of shit of a pump is a waste of money...
I got pics for Supramania to see... I have never seen one like this..

What the hell?? It melted???

The metal body spins about 1/4 of a turn...... GAY ass WALBRO...
Well i atleast upgraded to a DENSO 280lph TT supra pump...

ahh, ok it was a while ago thats why.

Might of been a manufacture defect. But yea Denso ftw.

that looks like an official walbro too, not the knock off ones. what signs did you get when that thing crapped out? i too have a walbro myself and am kinda concern about the same thing happening to me now.

I can't seriously tell you any signs, The pump was running 1 or 2 hours when it took a shit, I would just start the car in winter to keep the battery charged.. I bought it from Aaron at Driftmotion & he only sells the real Walbro..

so is the DENSO 280lph TT supra pump the stock one? or is it a upgraded one from stock? im guessing its better than the walbro?

Yea a Denso pump will flow more then a walbro till ~ 70 psi of pressure, then the walbro starts to flow more.

If you run standard 45 psi fuel pressure thats 25 psi of boost (with a 1:1 regulator)

Plus the Denso is more reliable than the Walbro...

yeah, if this walbro fails.. in goes the denso.

I had one that failed too- even though mine failed in a strange way. Driving it regularly was fine but once i started boosting past 10psi the pump couldnt handle the extra pressure and just go completely lean. I could baby it to full throttle and it be okay; hammer it= straight to lean.

Um that sounds like an electrical issue..

That's scary!

What does one of these 280lph Denso pumps go for?

wow thats alot, thats probably why people buy the walbro

 

[Dylan JZ]

well theres a decent amount of high hp cars using the walbro, so I guess it goes both ways..
