im getting a greddy turbo kit with intercooler and bov this week and was wondering if you suggest i get the walbro 255 fuel pump. after doing alot of searching on here, ive noticed alot of people have problems with it. and since ill be stay between 5.5psi and 7psi, do i need one? thanks.

 

i always recommend it, it cant hurt, it can only hurt it if you leave it and it fails

well after reading all the searched posts on here, it obviously CAN hurt things...just wondering if its really need with my setup and worth the headaches..

 

i have probably 25,000 miles on mine and about half of that was with a 12:1 FMU on my turbo setup with 12lbs of boost and I never had one problem with the pump, also it took no more then a half hour to put in

are you going to use a FMU? I hope not. But if you are, you're supposed to use an inline fuel pump.


If not, at 7 psi..dont' sweat it. I hope yuo're getting larger injectors than those dinky 3100cc greddy injectors.

 

problems dont come form the 255 it comes from the 255hp, and all of those problems are from people who really didnt need an HP in the first place and only have the stock regulator and cant bring the pressure down

 

i have a 255, i dont have any problems at all. been about a month since ive installed it on my jrsc setup

 

Yes. I have been using one for 1 year and it works great.

 

hmm...I haven't heard anything bad about the 255. I've been using one for the last 15,000miles at 13-15psi and still working great.

 

1 year on mine, works great, good cheap pump

easy *** install

5 mins if u don't have backseats in

 

yea i know the install is easy. im not talking about the 255 high pressure one though. ill be using greddys fmu at 7psi and stock injectors. the kit doesnt come with injectors. this is going on my 93 hatch. i know getting the pump shouldnt hurt anything, but is it really need for 7psi?

I've used the walbro 255hp and an FMU on 10psi never had any problems. Only reason i'm replacing it because i upgraded to stand-alone.

 

The walbro 255 works fine, If I was you I would put it in. Plus they are only like $79..........

 

i ran 5psi, at first then upgraded to 11+, same fuel pump, causes no problems, had the JR Fmu, going hondata.

 

I heard rumors of them being very noisy... is there any truth to this?

 

ya mine is kinda loud

 

it will whine as any other aftermarket fuel pump will

 

while on the fuel system what do most guys pushing 500whp run? and how much hp is the 255 good for?
