Walbro fuel pump DIY - Page 10

skunk2civic · 03-09-2010, 08:08 PM

Yeah I might. I need to figure out why my gas gauge is stuck. I'm thinking it's my gauge sender.

Supa Ninja · 03-09-2010, 09:30 PM

Something must have happened to your sender. My gauge works good.

skunk2civic · 03-09-2010, 10:52 PM

Yeah, im just going to get a whole new assembly and when i go get my kit installed and tuned at SSA, they can see whats the deal.

xyflz · 03-19-2010, 02:21 PM

guys after i disconnect the breather tube and the fuel line, how do i take the fuel pump assembly out?

BlueSi4 · 03-19-2010, 02:47 PM

You need to remove the cap, and then the assembly will come right out

I'm most likely gonna do this tomorrow

xyflz · 03-19-2010, 03:35 PM

i got everything done. but i dont quiet understand what this means. "Also I took a pair of needle nose pliers and removed two of the notches from the bottom of the pump. "

funny my pump went in no prob without removing anything from the bottom of the pump with pliers.

Supa Ninja · 03-19-2010, 07:05 PM

you probably trimmed the rubber more, or you used man hands to pop the bottom cover into place.

vtecmike1 · 03-19-2010, 07:07 PM

man hands.

i barely trimmed my rubber at all. i think that may be why i still cant' hear it whine. good insulation.

only time i hear the walbro is when i prime it.

xyflz · 03-19-2010, 07:14 PM

i trimed the rubber a little bit and i didnt use the needle nose pliers. i cant stand the noise. walbro is making a lot of noise. its like your leave the microphone face infront of the amplifier. and i just got random all cylinders misfiring. i guess its the tune. btw after i installed the walbro fuel pump i feel lighter on the foot when i press down the gas pedal

BlueSi4 · 03-20-2010, 03:54 PM

I'm having a hard time screwing the stupid cap back on, such a PITA

CivicRSA · 03-20-2010, 03:58 PM

A little grease on the threads helps a lot.

BlueSi4 · 03-20-2010, 04:00 PM

More than that it's the rubber piece, it won't go in the way it's supposed to, and then it doesn't let me screw the cap

xyflz · 03-20-2010, 04:09 PM

seperate the rubber from assembly,put the rubber piece in first

Yup, that's how I did it.

Nick, maybe you should add that to the first post. Separate the rubber from the assembly, then the whole thing will go in very smooth. I also added some grease to the threads, made the whole tightening process easier.

From what I've seen, AFR's didn't change, or at least they are in the range. The pump is loud!

Anything I should keep an eye on to make sure it's installed properly? Or what things to look for?

big360ram · 03-20-2010, 05:28 PM

I just did the install on my car this morning. I only notice to sound level of this thing when just turning the key and hearing the initial prime. Other than that I have to listen specifically for the whine which is tough even. Must be it's just a kind of tone certain ears are sensitive to.

xyflz · 03-20-2010, 05:33 PM

yea more details for this DIY will be great for people who is going to do the pump later.
I installed it yesterday too. It whines and i dont like it

skunk2civic · 03-20-2010, 05:36 PM

Then take it out and quit whining about it! It's only at start up, it's a simple procedure, nick covered pretty everything.

as long as you used a stock injector oring you should be trouble free for a very long time. I'm running 70psi all the time and ethanol and i'm not having any pump issues at all. Its definitely cheap insurance.
