The Walbro is kinda loud. The TT pump outflows the Walbro by quite a bit, and is quiet.

Don't listen to noobs. Walbro is great and inexpensive. Flows more than stock MKIV one. It's also not that loud. You will never hear it over the exhaust. I have two of them.

The denso is about 2x as much as a walbro. Most people down here have been running the walbro without any problems. I currently have one in my car. Some people choose to run dual walbros if there making over 500hp. And some have been making it with one.

It is louder than the denso but it works very good in my experiance. It's a good thing to do the fuel ecu bypass mod too.

I say do your own research, the walbros are good and cheap...
the denso are good too, but cost a bit more...

And isnt the price difference around ~20 dollars too? Thats not really inexpensive in my book.
Woow. Supraforums is really full of winners. Here is another equation. Take the number of all the people running Denso and compare it to the number of people running dual Walbros. Then you'll see every one is running dual Walbros. It happens. Get a fuel pressure gauge.

I was running a single Walbro for a while. That same fuel pump was passed around 5 other cars. I'm running new dual Walbros over 3 years now.

Denso TT works fine. Clip pos and neg wires on pump hanger and put ring ends on. You also need the rubber pump bottom mount, filter sock and tiny metal clip retainer for the sock. Bend the metal output tube on the hanger up slightly. Secure pump to hanger with worm clamp. For constant 12v output and ecu safety shutoff wire 12v direct from batt with relay using 9v output as the trigger.

more tuners as i have as well are getting away from old school dual in tank pumps in favor of a walbro or bosch pump intank and a walbro or bosch 044 inline..


the intank inline setup has proven to be more effective for they work in harmony as opposed to fighting for the same fuel in slosh tank..

i have a walbro intank and a walbro gsl392 inline and with this combo it flows up to 85 psi maybe alittle more with no pressure drop in high sustained boost..


if power goals are say up to 600 ish on pump gas walbro intank and walbro inline is where its at ( btw both pumps will now have about 50% less pressure at each feed point so less strain on them and they will work for years)

if goals are more lofty then either a denso or bosch 044 intank with a bosch 044 inline and your good for over 1000 rwhp


think of it this way intank no longer has to suck fuel and push it 6 feet to rail and maintain pressure while doing so, now it feeds to the inline which is about 18 inches from tank which now becomes zero pressure point so intank has to work over 50% less , inline now takes the fuel supplied to it and sends to rail so the 255lph inline can now effectively flow the full 255lph with no pressure drop to 90 psi


base pressure of most setups should be about 40psi + 25 psi of boost you need about 65 to 70 psi static pressure with no drop off to run safe and with the above setup you have headroom to 90 psi

I just did my swap and went with the walbro 255hp, I will say that it works fine but it is kinda loud if you dont have loud pipes or a system.

I just got a walbro 255 but the two prong clips dont match up with the stock clip. What part number for the walbro pump did you guys use for your sc300s?

If you got ur pump for driftmotion they sell the wrong one, there is an extra number that is needed i believe. go to the walbro site and u will see what i am talking about. Dont worry tho cause with a little bending it will fit just fine. I didnt want to wait for that while i did my swap and it has been working fine
