I have a 300Z pump and that **** is annoying. I heard it was suppose to be "loud" but damn, Ive had it for 2 months now and it's starting to annoy the hell out of me..Constant BZZZZZZZ.....Does anyone else have this problem?

I walk away from my car while the Turbo Timer is on and I can still hear it from 20ft away....it is normal? If not, what's wrong?

yea, they are louder than stock......sometimes they are louder when low on fuel also.......and sometimes they get louder when they are on the way out.....but its new, so i assume its just the normal level of noise : )

I was thinking of putting my stock 240 on...but then I can't boost high...I heard from one person it starts leaning out at 4psi, and another person said its only good enough for stock boost...but I'm not boosting stock, so the stock pump is no good for me no?

Have you tried to isolate it by wrapping the fuel pump with neoprene. The walbro is just as loud.

the walbro isn't all that loud...every now and then i hear it. btw, about the stock fuel pump, I AM SO JOKING. unless you want to buy a new turbo real soon. Actually, i'm gonna get the z32 fuel pump sooner or later because i really don't like my walbro. don't ask why..i just don't.

I'm probably gonna take mines apart tomorrow. I think something might be loose and its causing other things to rattle as well..either that, or the pump is starting to die...

Put a piece of dynomat over the hatch for the fuel pump... it does help.
