So I am bout to pick up my car from the shop but the tuner said he will not tune my car unless I have the nippon denso fuel pump supra tt. I am currently running a walboro 255 with a fully built low compression gsr with 800cc needles.

He says he blew a engine on a nsx with two 255s'

I wanna give him the benifit of the doubt but they wanna charge me 400 for the pump and 280 for install.....F THAT !!!!!

BS and go to shawn church or save up and get the pump installed because will benifit me down the road..??

 

I guess he knows they are the same flow rate (Walboro 255 342 and a Denso Fuel pump). Write something up that says you understand the risk of the Walboro, and are waiving liability of the car DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP ONLY..

 

I would avoid that shop personally. Nothing wrong with a walbro IMO for giving fuel to 800cc injectors-

 

Take it to Bubba

 

I would be outa there...no question. The world is running walbro successfully...lol. Buy a xenocron 255lph pump for 76 shipped and hand that to him then. Installed at least 10 or so of them and haven't had a single problem.

 

walbros r good for at least 500 hp on a stock volltage with boost a pump i think it almost 700

 

I would ditch that shop and go to another shop that tunes!!! That's horrible. Hope you figure something out!!! But when you do, let us know how it went.

 

i made over 600 on my turbo car with a single walbro and 1000cc precisions at 42psi static

 

Nice mark up on the fuel pump. They are around $100 and supported me at 511whp on rc1000cc. I wouldn't go back to that shop if I were you.

 

Wow talk about rippig people off. They should tune the car reguardless of what fuel pump your running. So many peopel run walbro fuel pumps without problems. Granted its no Bosch 044 but it gets the job done. and 205 for installation of a fuel pump on a honda??? geeze even on the obd0 hondas it doesnt take 250 worth of labor to change a fuel pump

 

511whp 22 psi on a walboro for me!

205$ for installation? Maybe 1 hrs labor for some one who has never done one before! Thats a rip off.

Take it some where else!

 

Give them the finger and then go to Church's!

 

Set that shop on fire, go to churches.

 

Which shop? Let people know they did after all try to scam you.

 

Its called Revenge Motorsports...

 

i am over 500 as well with a walboro 255 and 40-42 psi with 1000 cc inj. no problems for over 15k miles.

 

565 whp at 18.5 psi on pump gas....single Walbro 255 and 1000cc'.....No issues whatsoever and could have gone over 600 without a problem. Go to another shop ....

 

Gee, I wonder why. No matter what fuel pump you use a tuner should IMMEDIATELY cut the throttle if the mixture leans out. If he blew an engine because he wasn't watching the wideband, then I would never take a car to this shop.

 

tru

 

yeah that shop sounds shady. Not only ripping you off, but not having knowledge of how much you can efficiently get out of a walbro. c'mon.

 

Dude everyone is running walbros. You will be fine. Either write up a note like Shodan said or go elsewhere

 

Thats how much I made. Walboro's are great for the price.

 

he did helpme out today his idiot mech wanted to charge me 100 for an ecu install and that was a big negative....

So I go intoday to put some more money down on the profec b i got installed and my test pipe welded. Mr. Met said he would upload a 2.0 l basemap on my s300 so I can drive my car home instead of paying for towing. That was a huge help
2.0 because my engine is bored to 1.9l

 

If I was you; I would keep your setup the way it is and drive to a new shop even if the mean a shop hours away to get it professionally tuned. Cause your setup life span is only as good as the tuners tune.
Also I made 462hp@16psi on pump w/ 1000cc, walbro 255lph.

 

Yeah been running my walbro 255 not even the HP version for 25k miles with a 50psi base pressure and 16 psi boost on pump gas with not a single hickup from my walbro. I tune cars and tuned my own ride and its a beast with the sc63
