I bought it from autoperformanceengineering.com...got the right part# and everything. Do you have to do something special to get it to fit in a 5th gen? My mechanics said it dosn't fit...

who told you it fit 5th Gen's.. that PN is for a 4th Gen...

 

Someone posted in the 5th gen forum the part# and everything! Is there one that fits the 5th Gen?

 

don't know.. even the 4th Gen one wasn't made for the 4th Gen.. you might have to make it a hybrid pump.. ask Don in TX he is running some kind of hybrid pump in his 4th Gen.. i think its the 300 ZX pump.. maybe you can use the same steps to modify your Walbro pump

 

Ok, I know I ordered the right pump...I know a bunch of guys on here talked about having it installed! I think there is a spcial way to do it...apparently its not just a drop in! I need install instructions ASAP...please help!

I should be having dinner with Charlie my mechanic he has a 4th gen and is also on the board, and I will ask him what exactly was done and if there is a special mod.

 

 

I have the Walbro pump in my car. It wasn't hard at all to put in took about 1 hour. Just simply remove the entire unit from the gas tank, pull of the plastic housing w/ the sending unit and you have to push real hard on the top of the old pump to pop it out. Then put the new filter on the bottom of the pump and reinstall.

 

Kev, you may need to sticky this too because, a bunch of guys on here talked about this pump, but no one ever talked about the install. ITS NOT JUST A DROP IN REPLACMENT! You have to do some other stuff to get it to fit. My mechanic asked me where the hell I got the damn thing from because it dosn't look like it fits at all when he pulled out the old pump...made me look like an idiot!!
Can you please be a little more specific on how exactly it is installed? Anyone else who has had this mod done, please feel free to add any helpful suggestions! Thanx...

PS:

that explanation sounds cool man but I that whoever wants to do this mod would need a bit more detail...thanx again!

Deac

 

Any news from yur mechanic yet? Holla....

BottleFedMax is the first person I've seen with the Walbro. Sounds like The New CLIMAX also has it on his car.

We talked about it, but no one ever mentioned a sucessful install.

 

ok so nobody has installed an upgraded fuel pump on their 5th gen?
c'mon! somebody has to have one...especially you, Kev.
