My walbro is going out ( I think... ). Its starting to make a super high pitch whine all the time now and just sounds like its getting ready to die. I read on the mitat forum that the walbros theyve been using dont usually last more than a year, and are known to whine really loud right before they fail. Well, since one of the last things I want is a fuel pump failure, I decided Id just replace it anyways. Now...My questions are,





Is it true walbros dont last much longer than a year ( thats about how much time is on this one... )?



and



If it is true, what other pump should I use and where should I get it?

 

Has yours been whining since the installation of your haltech? Mine has. Can anybody substantiate this possible problem?

 

It was whining higer than normal, but I attributed it to the fact that it was directly wired now instead of going through the ECU. I know that the stock ECU would drop voltage to the fuel pump 30~45 seconds after startup. After the E6K install, it was just whining as loud as it always did right after startup.



But now it sounds like a transformer. You can hear it from behind my car over my exhaust. Very noticable. Very high pitch. Very loud.

 

damn, i'm fixing to buy a walbro, i hope we can get some answers because i want to save a headache

 

I have one right now, getting another... I hope this isn't true.. bump^^

 

switch to a bosch motorsport pump

 

Whats the +'s of switching to that?

 

very high flow pump and very reliable. they are costly but you can run them in the tank with some modification. its popular on FD's

 

oooo i will have to eventually need to do a fuel pump mod... goood topic... keep talking

 

how much does that bosch flow???
