Walbro = JUNK!!!

[9240sx]

Im so pissed ,My Walbro 255lph with less then 5,000 miles on it just took a $**T on me..Talk about not build to last.. I turn the key and all it does is make a VERY loud grinding sound..This time around im going with a Tomie unit..That sould last.. Has this happened to anyone else???

Ive never had problems with one.

I had one on my DSM for over a year too

must be a defective unit

sorry bro

Most of the time Walbros last pretty long time but Ive heard of them failing so its not unusual.

there was a thread in general 240 about bootleg walbros hitting the market.

3 years and still running hard. and i've even coasted into the gas station many times on fumes.

3 years for me also with no problems and I don't fill up until the light comes on most of the time (I go through fuel filters alot too so...) and it runs like a champ. I've also heard people say theirs are loud but mine certainly doesn't seem to be, I can't really hear it unless I'm trying to with the car off and just turning the ignition on.

The Tomie fuel pump is rated at 255lph just like the Walbro and the Denso..And i was thinking about doing the z32 TT pump.But i like the way the tomie pump just bolts up like stock...How hard is it to do the z32 pump?

well i dont think its suppose to make a loud grinding sound more like a.....whining sound.

actually from what ive seen the tomei is rated at 248, miniscule difference, but youre paying over twice as much

afaik the z32 bolts right up, and is rated to crazy levels...you could also look into an aeromotive

[RWD_101]

yea sorry to hear that man, i never had any problems with it either

hope everything works out for ya

I ran a Walbro in my Buick for a few years w/o any problems at all. Have you contacted the company?

If you need mad flow, man up to the Weldon fuel pump:
