are they worth £150? or am i better off with a uprated walbro 255???
cheers

 

deleted to save an argument

 

oh right!!!!
i guess not worth it then
although they do show a graph comparing the rcm vs the walbro one

 

Why don't you drop them a email ? Could be better than bs you will get on scoobynet

 

Nothing wrong with the Walbro pumps .

 

grind/rub off?? lmao i dont think they do m8

 

I'm only saying what i've been told, by one of the mappers on here!

 

im not after anything major!
just something to see me around the 450 mark safely

 

big statement to make there mate ...prepare for the backlash...!

 

For your target bhp i would have look for

Deatschwerks 300lph

HRC 340LPH(i'm running this)

Bosch 044

Aeromotive 340lph

Whats considered to be the best then?

the best one is the one most suited to your engine spec mate - and adequatley fuel it.

really depends on your set up

generally a walbro is seen as the first step up over standard - and not hard to fit

 

Its not about which ones better, more of a case of which ones more reliable when delivering fuel to a higher bhp engine. My mapper has noticed the walbro pump wavers the fuel flow a bit at higher rpm on engines running more than standard power (not good when you want consistent fuel flow). The rcm pump I have been told delivers the consistent flow of fuel as needed, but then it all depends on what your car needs at the time.

But that is what I have been told.

 

I have spoke to Bob Rawle and he said he has had quite a few problems with the Walbros lately and he recommended a RCM V5+ for me and i am not looking for any massive numbers, looking to be knocking on the door of 350bhp.

 

Walbro's have never been the best, always preferred the bosch 044, as they say you pay for what you get, its cheap for a reason

Now I'm in a predicament so would a walbro do the job?
i want to do the job properly

 

how much is the bosh 044 and what can these run too

 

I've just changed my walbro for a sytec because it was starting to run lean at the top end where it couldn't flow enough fuel for the injectors Good job it happened whilst mapping and the mapper noticed the pump failing before it scrapped the engine!

 

What power was that on m8

 

I think you will find that the RCM fuel pumps are made by Aeromotive, I was warned by a well known mapper not to bother with Walbro due to the amount of failures and inconsistent results.

You pay your money and you take your choice.

 

Fair enough if it's not up to the job. So will the bosh be good for it

 

i run both walbro 255 in tank and bosch 044 ext

 

As i post before i'm running HRC 340lph and bhp wise(plus i'm running Bosch 044 ext),i'm hopping for 500bhp...

Aeromotive cost in USA around 160USD,Deatschwerks 300lph cost here around £100(in USA cost 100USD)

I bought a new walbro online and a sytec one turned up.

 

Reading threads like this makes me want to replace my Walbro with something else.
Where would be the best place to purchase a fuel pump other than Walbro and RCM.

 

Walbro do a 400 pump now

 

i ran a walbro on my 420/430 2.5 classic with not a single issue.

ok had a fpr also

but id say there ok up to a certain point
