whitesupratt Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Sorry for the sort of Hijack, but my mate has just given me a 2nd hand Walbro pump, he said it was a bit noiser more so than the standard one. And suggested maybe I dont use it in case its shagged. opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I read a post somewhere on here today where someone mentioned that the Walbro pump is a bit noisier than the stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 they are noisier than the stock pump... but not THAT much noisier! for the price of a new one tho - prob not worth using the one u were given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesupratt Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 cool, im sure everyone must think im tight with my Supra!

letmeshowyou Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 a few sockets... pair of pliers/wire cutters... and a soldering iron dependant on how you join the connector. a hammer and a piece of wood also helps to undo that ring thingy.

Nic Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You may want to change the fuel filter too. Agreed and if you need one, I'm organising a group buy for fuel filters, oxygen sensors, etc. at the moment, see details [thread=60787]HERE[/thread].
