Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Just piecing together my last bits to go td04, and kinda of unsure which Fuel Pump to go for? The high pitched whine of the walbro used to be pretty annoying on my Old Gt. So I'm swaying more towards a TD one instead. I was just wondering if there was a big enough difference in the noise between the walbro and the TD pump? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Go for a Walbro... All the others are Chinese... My Chinese one failed after 1 year... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 So ya back using a Walbro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Has anyone tried aeromotive, denso or something different?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So ya back using a Walbro? I am indeed.. Don't skimp. Just buy a walbro and have done with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like I'll just have to grit my teeth and bare the walbro whine, nnless The dudes from Tuning Developments can convince me otherwise? Has anyone tried aeromotive, denso or something different?? Got a link to any of these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Be very careful of the walbro fuel pumps as there are two types. One is high flow, low pressure and the other is high flow high pressure. The low pressure pumps start cavitating at around 45-50 psi. Me myself I've gone for a automotive plumbing solutions one. Flows 255lph at 80psi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Have you got a link to that one mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This is the one I've got. It's on the website as I can't link from my eBay app. http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/race/fuel-pumps/automotive-plumbing-solutions-gss342-walbro-255-type-uprated-fuel-pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks. How long have you had it fitted? What engine setup have you got? Any issues so far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not really used it that much to be honest. I'm going for mapping this summer on a emb. I have a ZISCO ram horn td04 ex gated, going to be using 323 turbo injectors (360cc) hks filter front mount intercooler and japspeed exhaust. My mapper told me some interesting info. Say your car has fuel pressure of 35psi at atmospheric pressure. You add a bar of boost meaning 15psi of air pressure in the manifold is now forcing the fuel back into the injector. In effect you now only have 20psi of fuel pressure. So you add a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, this will take your fuel pressure to 50psi to maintain 35psi fuel pressure at 1 bar of boost. 50 psi of fuel pressure on a low pressure walbro will cause cavitation (effectively burning the pump motor out and early failure) and reduce the flow of fuel to the injectors. So if your running a low pressure pump, be sure to change it for a high pressure equivalent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Personally I would only use a denso pump from a supra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 How much are they H_D? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 How much are they H_D? I ordered mines from USA it was $225 usd. They cost about £300+ in the uk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Cool..how do they compare to the above pumps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Had my TD Pump for nearly 2 years and 10,000miles no problems and its quiet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Will be ordering one of those one you linked Sam I had an aeromotive FRP and couldn't fault it at all. I had a walbro 255 in my old GT and it was noisy, but thats all part of the track kinda theme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've had no problems with mine dan. Il have a better idea when I check it for cavitation when I put a gauge on the fpr. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 What are the aeromotive ones like noise wise, compared to the walbro ones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thats be good to know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've had two TD pumps now on my old gt and glanza, never failed and very quiet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turk Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ive heard alot of good things about the aeromotive pumps. Also they flow alot aswell. So always an option. I would also say go for a denso from a supra too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The 'TD' is a walbro.I had to google the pump and used the part code off the box and it came up as a walbro just unbranded! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The 'TD' is a walbro.I had to google the pump and used the part code off the box and it came up as a walbro just unbranded!I'd put money against that theory.Same way as fake walbros have the part numbers and even logos on them.If it was genuine walbro it would be sold as such.No chance walbro sell there stuff unbranded.That's not to say a Chinese knock off isn't a good job. Heck one Chinese knock of failing is hardly big news, genuine walbros will fail at some time alsoPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
