Has any body fitted a walbro 225 fuel pump suppose to direct replacement of old pump but it's way slimmer than the original ?????

Theres a sleeve you can get IIRC, maybe ask Rob or Bowders, I think they have both run these pumps at some point 

I just put the o rings from the old pump round the foam nice and tight now hope this will work

Test drove and all ok and the fuel light is on so bottom tank suction is good

Thanks anyway dave

Has this cured your ongoing issue??

I don't no mate just on way to the mway to test ill post within the hour fingers crossed

Result problem solved revs all way to red line so the pump was at fault all along big relief now I can get ready for stage 2 thanks to all who helped me diagnose the problem

Just read this yep I have a Walbro. I fitted a sleeve to mine and a seperate silicon sleeve to make it real tight

 

Although going spare now as i fitted a LCR pump

What's the difference in the LCR pump is it the same housing with higher pressure pump?

Correct my friend....it is a 4bar pump to match the 4bar FPR LCR/S3 and TT's run

 

the VRS is a 3bar pump and FPR

Glad to here its sorted 

Thanks mate it's a relief . So do people put the 4 bar LCR fpr on the vrs ? And what's the best injectors for the vrs goin stage 2 soon sorry to pick your brain all my mobs so fare on based on your how to guides which are brilliant to say the least plus toyo sport intercooler pipe work any good ? Thanks mate

Some stage 2 mappers use the 4 bar FPR like REVO , others don't. 

 

Don't need to change injectors for stage 2 mapping buddy.

 

You only need that when you go bigger turbo or to really try to squeeze custom mapping out to it's limit

Ok I'll leave them be i just want a beast lol thanks for the advice anyway

4bar FPR on a stock AUQ fuel pump is like beating a dead horse. IMHO totally pointless.

Not all "stage 2" have exactly the same hardware, so some vrs don`t have a problem with fueling some like my and cossie had.

My stock injectors couldn`t supply enough fuel so I have them replaced with BAM ones. Above 5000rpm lambda was around 0.88-0.90 which obviously is too high, IDC was stuck at 21ms. Now it`s around 18-19ms.

Boost comes nicely to 1.5bar and falls to 0.9-1.0bar@6500rpm. 

I have just fitted a walbro 225 pump that's why I was asking

is the walbro 225 a direct replacement for the standard pump, where do you get the additional sleeves from that people are talking about, sorry if this has been covered.

 

thanks

All I used the sleeve that came with the pump this is to small but I took the rubber prong seals out the old set up there's 2 and put them over the top of the sleeve works a treat IDE also recommend using the mesh springed filter that comes with the walbro it keeps the pump off the bottom of the swirl pot which makes it a better fit and makes full use of the swirl pot some people think this causes problems with low level not true I've ran mine down to 0 miles no problem at all hope this helps and yes direct replacement

Why u replacing the original ? Is it to cure an ongoing problem?
