VS Fuel pump- Walbro Replacement?

[Lazin]

Hi all having pump problems and figure while i'm changing it may as well upgrade, but walbro have two pumps which seem very similar the gss341 and 342 i believe one ov these is for the commie but i'm not sure which one anyone have a clue?
Cheers....

I fitted the GSS 342 about a month ago to my VS V6. req's a little modification to the cradle and the wiring in the kit is much better. I pretty much rewired the pump in place right up to the plug. Other then that any backyarder with basic spanner skills can fit it! Im sure the Bosch 040 is an equivalent too.

I went all out and also bought new std replacement regulator, new injectors, new fuel filter, and new 02 sensors. From my experience you will prob find that the extra pressure of the walbro will cause your stock, old fuel reg to bleed thru and also the stock old injectors may dribble extra fuel into the chambers...so yea, just a heads up for you.

Good luck, im open to more questions if u so need!


p.s. my GSS 342 makes a sweet buzzing sound that i rekon sounds kool hehe!

The question really should be, why do you need it? The 342 is pretty much a direct swap over but is made to handle up to 600hp, which I doubt you have any where near.

When you get offered a genuine one from a mate for $150 how can you say no? they retail for $200+

Hate to burst your bubble, but you can get them buy it now on ebay for $148 and I think paradox paid even less.

Making comment on someone you have not a clue about, you also critisize rev 231 when he is giving money to his mate insted of some yank he doesn't know, Good form for a site addmin!

I was actually talking about you mate, not REV-231. Also the ebay companies are in Australia, not the US.

I realise that, if you read the post again you'll see i mention both of us. All i'm saying is we come here for help and ideas and all you seem to bring is a patronising attitude.
If you don't want to help then don't reply to the posts.
And i'd still rather give my mate an extra 10, 20, or 30 Dollars rather than some company who sells hundreds of parts for a living regardless of what side of the equator he's on.

Lazin, what i believe AirStrike is saying is, most standard parts of the engine are actually quite good for 200kws, it doesnt mean that u cant upgrade as ur doin.. but he is just letting u kno facts and prices of alternatives.. a lot of ppl upgrade injectors, but u dont have to as they're fine unless ur over the 200rwkw mark.. then u'll need to do injectors, pump, pressure reg.. etc.. glad ur giving ur mate the cash too, keeping a look out for him, n he'll do the same

make a lil sense?

I kind of got that. its just the condicending way of putting it, He doesn't know what i drive.
But thanx for your help.
