A buddy of mine has a shop with a dyno. A large number of cars last year were losing fuel pressure, turns out that they bought fake walbros. You would not believe how many guys bought fake Walbro's from all over the place. Even reputable places were not sure of which ones were fake when they first came out.

put the denso unit in tonight, poor FC had to be the organ donor..
Denso is notibly beefier and heavy duty.. even the "nozzle" on the top where the fuel comes out of is bigger...
it's also a direct swap.. even the terminals that u connect power for.. I'm glad i never lopped them off when i put the stupid walbro in.
only minor issue.. is the way the fuel filter sock points is different.. i had to use the smaller low profile walbro filter inorder to fit it in the baffle area..
fired right up after that..
lets see if any of the previous problems re-cur now..

I've now seen three different RX-7s stranded on the side of the road due to defect walbros (note that there is only one 'o'). Whether replicas or not, I don't know. Regardless, I stay far away from them.
