As others have said, the Walbro whine is 100% normal.

Wait until you turn on the A/C, then it really starts to whine, nothing to worry about

you could always get a new pump if it bothers you too much

There not called Whinebro's for nothing..

The older they are, and the hotter they get the louder they become.

Full Blown has their Denso Supra pump (1020) setup, it flows just the same as the Walbro, but is OEM quiet, and doesn't have nearly the reputation for failing.

If anyone's looking for an alternative..

Even a friend of mine was asking Whats that noise coming out the rear of your Car ! and i just replied. "Fuel pump" .. because you can even hear it from the outside ..
and then as i came back home, Check Engine light came on .. i Usually Ignore it, because i had my check engine light come on alot.

Does anyone also experiencing the same thing with their Walbro Wining Too Loud ?

They pretty much all whine, just some more than others. More so when they heat up. I use Shell gas and don't let my tank get under 1/4. Don't know if it's true, but I heard that having fuel in the tank helps dissipate the heat better from the fuel pump.

I was just checking this - had a hard drive on the Evo today, walbro was whining waaaay louder than normal - i guess it's that "second output mode" someone mentioned earlier in the thread

I love the noise from the walbros.

Id hate for you to have to drive my friends dad's 8 second Road Runner The fuel pump in that could drown out a jet engine

Mine in my 3000gt whines a ton too... while I agree its normal, sometimes it also is a sign of it going bad.
