Walboro 255
Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:48 AM
Hey guys;

I have a quick question for the fuel guru's out there. I want to upgarde my Hahn Racecraft inline pump with an in-tank Walboro 255..........Because Hahn reccommends the 255 for there kit if you want to upgrade to an In-tank.

My question is, is if there is anything else I need to get other then the pump itself. I don't think I need an application kit because the car is a 2003 and in great condition. And if there is anything I need to know to install it successfully.

Thanks alot guys, this site has always been a great help to me with technical stuff

i used just the pump, i'm pretty sure i reused the stock sock. also there are some pics i have of the install:

this plastic nipple broke on us, (i think) it had the accordian hose connected to it (you'll see when you'll take it apart). the 255 doesn't have this nipple its a hole


we fabbed one up using a lathe out of brass


both wire harness next to one another


how to hook the wires up, do yourself a favor and us solder and heat shrink!


be safe with the install


click me for more pics

I'm finishing up my Walbro install tonite--pretty much the same pump that ^^^ used. I can get some more pictures to you if it'd help.

I would recommend replacing the plastic feed line from the pump to the to the top of the gas tank while you're in there--don't use the same one (that came stock) for your new pump. It's been form-fitted to the OEM pump--just throw it away. The size you'll need to buy is 5/16" and you should only need about 8" of it.

Thanks for the heads up man, I'll be doing that for sure.

I guess all I need is 8" of 5/16" Silicone hose.

stevefire:


I would imagine all our cars are the same setup (wiring-wise.) But regardless, the fuel pump you're probably gonna buy will be a universal. You won't be changing your fuel wiring/setup around the pump, persay--you'll be making the pump work with your setup.

All you really have to pipe/wire in is the feed line and power/ground.
