Walbro Fuel Pump Installation DIY

Walbro Fuel Pump Installation DIY

Postby ASG14 » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:43 am

Big thanks to Vik (Dawgz) for helping with the install and the DIY here. J

1: Unscrew gas cap to relieve pressure in the fuel system.

2: Remove the rear seat bottom. Simply pull the seat up. It’s just held down by 2 grip tabs.

3: Pull up the metal shield. It’s just attached with sticky stuff. Make sure not to get any on the carpet or seats.

4: Unplug the electrical connector.

5: Unscrew the 2 8mm screws that hold the shield over the fuel line.

Image

6: Remove the fuel line by holding in the 2 clips and gently pulling the line.

Image

7: Pull out the fuel pump assembly and have a bucket to put it in, so that gas doesn’t leak all over the interior.

Image

8: Take off the bottom white cap holding the fuel pump in.

Image

9: Remove the white rectangle piece with the wires and metal rod.

Image

10: Remove the main black fuel pump and housing, and unclip the harness.

Image

11: Cut the OEM connector off, then crimp the connector that came with the aftermarket fuel pump back on.

Image

Image

Image

12: Remove the 4 outside tabs on the fuel pump.

Image

Image

13: Assemble the fuel pump. Put on the filter and attach the metal O-ring to secure it. Then put o-rings (need to get at the hardware store) over the fuel pump outlet, and place the OEM O-ring on the top.

Image

14: Slide the fuel pump into the main black housing, then plug in the connector. Next, slide in the fuel pump onto the assembly, and push back on the black housing.

Image

Image

15: Cut out the top center of the bottom white cap that holts the fuel pump on.

Image

16: Put back on the white rectangle piece with the wires and metal rod.

Image

17: Put back in the fuel pump assembly into the car. It is a SLIGHT bit longer then the OEM one was, so it is a bit tricky to screw down. This is normal, so don’t be worried. It takes a while to get it screwed down the 1st time.
17A: Place the round black bracket over the fuel pump assembly.
17B: Connect the fuel hose by simply sliding it onto the clips. Do NOT force it on. If it doesn’t go right on, the clip is in the wrong position.
17C: Place the smaller black cover back on.
17D: Screw the 8mm bolts back on in a criss cross pattern and torque to 35 in/lbs.

Image

Image

18: Plug the connector back in and put back on the cover.

Image

19: Put back in seat.

the pics came out nice.


If anything, the way to "modify" the fuel pump itself is the key to this whole install.

Nice DIY :D
Did you buy the pump on Ebay ? Is it a 190 L/Hr Walbro ?
Do you remember the size on the O-rings ?

on a N/A setup, its not needed.


but if ur sc'd, that 90lph oem pump isn't going to cut it, so you need this setup or a 255lph walbro.
