Can I install my Walbro now?
I have the whole interior out of the car, seems like now would be a smart time to install my Walbro... I just want to make sure it's not too much for my car. The only mods I have are the RB turbo back and an FCD. Can I go ahead and do it today, or do I need to wait until my LT-8 and all that are installed? Do I need to install my FPR at the same time???

u can install it now but not re-wire it...
the car will run...
but the walbro will probably over power ur stock FPR and make the car run a little richer...
but it wont stop it from being streetable

OK... I'm thinking I might as well swap in the LT-8S now too. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put the interior back in when I'm just going to have to yank most of it to install the LT-8S.

I installed a Walbro 255 in my '90 NA and at the same time I also did the fuel damper mod (mine was leaking). I fully expected it to be way rich but it has the same perfect idle that it had before, and I swear there are times when I think I have a turbo, especially on cool days when there's a more dense air charge. I'm sure it's slightly richer, but very streetable.

And you think that's because of a massively oversized fuel pump? That pump will make the already rich stock mixtures even richer, and that will reduce power.
