Walbro's new 400LPH pump: X-specific discussion
This is already being discussed in the evo8-9 area but I figured since it is more likely to be a drop-in setup for the X, we should have an X-specific thread here
First up, the pump in question:
http://www.dynosty.com/2011/08/walbro-400-fuel-pump/
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Walbr...item3cbc763281
(ebay search for "walbro 400lph")
Looks like part numbers: F90000262 (pump) & 400-0001 (install kit)
Sounds like Buschur is working on a drop-in kit for the X.
Questions yet to be answered:
Is the plug on it actually different than the current walbro pumps?
How will it perform in an X compared to a standard walbro 255, a modified walbro 255, DW300, or other pump? I have a DW300 pump in my X and i love it but it needed a BAP on my setup to make it flow enough for me w/o going to a double. I think getting one of these pumps in my car and turning off the BAP will be a good test
I wonder if this will cause the FPR over-run issue like some pumps do on the X?
Also, anyone know if this pump is as loud or louder than a standard walbro? That's one of the bigger plusses of the DW pump, it is nearly silent!
Kracka and I have been discussing, and it looks like as far as physical fitment the current cobb adapter-ring will make it fit. I have the MAP adapter kit and it is more of a sleeve, so the bottom part would have to be cut off at the very least. The filters that come with that install kit look like they would fit great. That just leaves the wiring question

Looking up the part number, it looks like the connector is definitely different. Includes a cool exploded view of the housing too (although this one is listed as 386LPH):

Also, this round filter sock might be a better fit? Probably would be better than the standard one that comes with a walbro for most kits anyways!

Connector looks indeed like just some spade adapters would fit, getting a female plug for the stock connector is going to be the trick--hopefully someone can source one (sounds like you are dave--awesome!).
My next question is, will this pump outflow my DW300+BAP setup on the stock voltage? We shall see I guess!

I had the pumps tested independently, all of them, the Walbro makes the rest of them look silly. I have pumps tested at 13.5 and 15 volts.
The overrun of the regulator isn't all the regulators fault. Some of it is the stock line and some of it is the siphon in the tank.

I have a 100% stock fuel system aside from pump, BAP, and injectors makes it hard to diagnose what to do where for a setup like this though, know what I mean? If simply enlarging the siphon would be enough to run this pump safely, I'd love to know (and not touch anything else).
