single, in tank fuel pump for 500+ rwhp
 
Don't want to run 2 fuel pumps? Don't want to mess around with an inline or external pump? I present to you, the walbro 385.

same size case as a 255, but flows 50% more

got these pictures from a friend on the local forum, those are NOT my fingernails, they're his gf's

Nice hand model! She can hold my pump anytime! :lol:

385 liters per hour at what, 80 psi and 16 volts?

until I see some real-world test results with flow, pressure and voltage you'll excuse me if I remain a skeptic ;)

Not to mention, I don't see anything about this pump anywhere on the interwebs other than the site the original poster posted. I want a flow chart!

Is it completely necessary to have 2 pumps to hit 500hp?

allrotor93 11-20-10 06:37 AM

Supra pump proven over and over and over

Be safe and go for 2 supra pumps.

fendamonky 11-20-10 09:36 AM

What's so wrong with just using a Bosch 044?

Nope. People should stop in the archives sometime, there's a lot of good info there:

My Apex'i BNR pump, wired direct to battery, is supporting over 500 rwhp. I've run the car as high as 22 psi on the street with no issues :)

I'd like to know the Walbro model this is (GSS whatever) to see if there are any manufacturer specs available

MOBEONER 11-20-10 03:22 PM

This is like the Ebay GT35R dual ball bearing turbo for $450 bucks.

I am sorry for the skepticism but there is a reason why these pumps are so much cheaper than a bosch or a denso supra. Take a denso F/P next to a Walbro F/P and you can visually see the quality difference.

Perhaps off topic, but where can I get an Apex'i BNR fuel pump? I have search for weeks trying to find it but I can't find any online distributor selling one


Thanks Rich!

rx7.com had them last time i was on

KKMpunkrock2011 11-22-10 09:10 PM

no worries about the skepticism, I'm not even 100% sure on the thing yet, but like I said, a buddy of mine here in town ordered it for his dsm, so I guess we'll see how it works, he was running out of flow with the bosch inline and a walbro 255 in tank. Apparently quite a few dsm guys are running them and seeing some good results. I'll update this thread as I get info.

no_more_rice 11-22-10 09:18 PM

Walbro reliability and quality are suspect, I wouldn't roll the dice with my motor.

KKMpunkrock2011 11-22-10 10:23 PM

yeah if you buy the shitty ebay chinese knock-offs, I know plenty of people that trust walbros, it's the retards in the honda scene that buy the 40 dollar knock-offs on ebay that break that are constantly bitching about that.

cptpain 11-22-10 10:23 PM

i dont see a "385" under walbro's product listing

got a link? I can't find anything on the walbro site.

Only single intake pump I am aware of that supports 500+rwhp is the Skyline Fuel pump. I have maxed a properly rewired supras at 450rwhp, and usually a single walbro a little past 400rwhp.

page 2 is the important stuff towards the bottom, we'll be getting a flow chart for these soon hopefully. Sounds like the pump was made for a supercharged chevy, they think its for the zr1, not totally sure about that...
