PLTek Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 hi Guys/Gals, Just got done doing the retrofit with my mechanic. I want to find out if anyone will be interested in doing the upgrade. So it would work same way as another vendor here: 1. We send you a ready assy with 255l/hr Walbro pump 2. You install it and send us back your assy with stock pump The whole transaction costs: 1. We charge you 450+20USD shipping so a total of 470USD 2, You send us back your assy in perfect condition, we credit 200USD. You are styling, so you get 255l/hr fuel pump, installed in assembly and delivered for 270 USD http://www.pltek.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1106_21_32_56&products_id=428 Let us know if you are interested.

GTsleeper Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 nice, but why so much.....fitment?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLTek Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I know that many people out there want this done at least they say they do so i figured to give you an option. total cost when you are done is 270 you are paying for 255l/hr fuel pump, retrofit labor, and shipping. This option is 95USD cheaper than the AVO program and you get 255l/hr pump. Not sure how much cheaper we can get my friend. Thanks for asking.

PLTek Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 how are you? We will buy a stock assy and walbro fuel pump, retrofit, taking it apart, grinding, clean, securing the pump, reassebly, that type of stuff. You will definitely need to get retuned with intake, new tmic. You dont need new injectors, and new fuel pump as a matter of fact, until you sway to like an 18G turbo. So what you described, just add injectors and turbo and you can make some serious power. Best PS PLTek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsleeper Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Im Batman & yes i have wonderfull toys. thanks for the details,hahahaha i already have a stage 2 w/ intake- tuned. i was talking about the turbo inlet tube. so no injectors, or even pump unless turbo. but with every thing else probably be best to re-tune.........Oh injectors,pump,turbo- yes in time or the right price........

PLTek Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 hi, you were talking about adding tmic and other things, i say get all the stuff pump, injectors, turbo, inlet hose and then get another tune, once you are ready of course injectors and pump will only be utilized when you slap a larger turbo on, no need to flood the engine with extra gas if you cant pump more air into it:lol: ROCK ON MY FRIEND PS PLTek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnoldscu Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just thought I'd say that I recently purchased the 300 dollar AVO pump, which is a great piece... but the install was not easy! Taking out the fuel pump assembly is a piece of cake, but taking it apart to put the new pump in is no walk in the park... though now I'm finished and the car runs fine (going to install turbo soon). For 270 this is a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Does it keep the use of the stock fuel filter or is one provided, or is the fuel filter eliminated from the equasion? 2012 Forester XT.

warnoldscu Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm interested in that... just curious, mdturbo, didn't you do the walbro mod on your lgt - did you do something different with the filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhsilversti Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 hi all im ted, peters mechanic......yo pete, whats up. the pump will retain the stock fuel filter. there is quite a bit of work that goes into getting the walbro in the stock assembly, though when done, you would never know unless you knew what to look for. this walbro unit will plug right into the stock harness. there is no need for cutting and splicing the electrical wires inside the fuel tank. ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent gotten around to finishing it as I was put off by the tight fit to have it work correctly... I'll probably take another stab at it soon. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing.

ANyone want a Walbro fuel pump yet? Beuler? this reminds me......use caution when removing the assembly, you will spill some gas out of the slush pot while tilting to get it out of the tank. most of the "spill" will make it int the tank, the rest will end up on the top of the tank and on the ground. also you will have to be very sure that there is NO fuel at all left in the assembly prior to shipping! if they smell a srtong oder of gas, they (ups, fedex,usps,dhl) will refuse to accept the package for shipping.

warnoldscu Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Peter... what injectors are you going with? I think you should start selling the Helix 860s - they're cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 i have NO idea why anyone would not put the filter back on. I have a Walbro in my car right now and my hats off to you for getting the Walbro in AND flowing through the stock filter in the housing. I looked at the assembly a bunch of times and wasn't able to figure out how to do that. I was just going to add an outboard inline filter instead, which would serve the purpose. BTW, did you also retain the filter sock? I can see how it could work with that piece removed, since that would free up some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 A sock needs to stay on since it keeps the debris from clogging up the pump (just as bad as clogging up an injector) On other cars I've seen literally dirt inside the wire mesh on a walbro which usually sits after the sock. crappy discount fuel = dirty literally. 2012 Forester XT.

PLTek Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 hi, I am going with PE850s. we are able to fit the filter back on stock pump tight fit and a secret way to secure it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhsilversti Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 the "sock" as you like to call it is the filter, it is the same style as the STI has. side note, peters assembly did have DIRT in the bottom of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sock is a pre-filter to keep the pump from dying as I described above. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.
