Hey guys gonna get tuned in about 1 month. Can I install the Walbro fuel pump at home and drive it to the tuner safely? Will I risk damaging any engine components? I just don't want to have to pay the tuner to install it, they charge $45!! Thanks guys

 

I installed mine and drove my car for about a month with no problems. From what Ive read it will just cause the car to run rich. Hope that helps

 

Sick thanks for the info! I will be installing real soon then lol

 

Yes.

No, unless somehow you utterly fail on the installation, which is cake as far as basic mechanics go.

 

You guys have a special way to wiggle the fuel assembly out? I heard it was took a little convincing...

 

u will be fine, if anything you run richer than normal, which is ok.

best bet is to rotate the entire assembly counterclockwise and then back all the time while getting the metal ring up and over.

no really sure why mitsu couldn't make the left and top points 1cm bigger on the chassis to make it easier...

 

is your car tuned from before?

 

yea its easy. the retainer ring is kind of annoying but i was able to get it out in under 30 seconds.

 

this is a stupid easy install but the only problem is the Black O-ring from down under mate(lol clean version) we talked about this very same quesion the the evo general like 2 weeks ago i think. I have a full guide to installing the fuel pump with PLENTY of pics and information from my experience of installing it. here you go buddy enjoy its on page 6 and good luck

i changed to a walbro and didn't notice any difference in my tune.

 

OH and also almost forgot My car is untune period i installed it and been driving around from that install in august to right now and no problems im not tuning until i put my red br head etc install for my massive build im about to do so you should be ok until whenever i know i am. and yes im boosting etc just fine untuned

 

does the car have to have a retune when you get a fuel pump?

 

When I did my fuel pump the only difference the before after log showed was the car wasn't going leaner up top anymore, afr stayed the same......I touched nothing.

 

they say you should tune it but i have not car drives the same to me lol after all the mods i installed ill give my evo its first tune after i install the turbo head etc next month

 

so what fuel pump comes in the evo stock? i would think it would b some type of higher performing fuelpump...well are u guys refferring to a walbro 255??? and if i was to install that with a fuel press regulator. basically i wouldnt have no problems?? and i wouldnt have to tune it right?...and lastly what type of fuel press reg. u guyz recommend??
