Guys,

I can hear my fuel pump whirring behind my seat and wondering if this is an issue that I should take up with Vishnu. I have a Stage 1+ with xflash. I can only hear it during idling and of course its hard to hear it with my Helix high flow exhaust when I am driving . Any opinions or should this issue go away on its own? Thanks guys! BTW, thanks to Shiv and Dave for helping me get through getting my Stage 1+ package together in time for the Tuning Tech dyno meet. Even with some shipment/exhaust fitment issues, they were very patient in getting it all together. Kudos for looking out for me!

is it the walbro pump?if it is thats normal for it to make some humming sound

 

if its not walbro, ask them if the pump is running at full voltage all the time... most of us with stand-alones are.. even stock i heard mine at an idle.

 

yep, its the walbro. You can hear it like some gears are grinding...not loud but not quiet enought to ignore at idle. I did not hear this when my Stage 1+ was initially installed and I only noticed this now.

its fine. mine was making so much noise the other day i could hear it from outside my car (and my car isnt that quiet with my greddy exhaust and cams). dustin said it was fine tho...

 

I could hear it too, try rolling up all your windows at once, you will here the pump almost die ! (less voltage)

 

My Walbro in my GST is really damn loud. Can even hear it modulating with the turn signal. It's normal.

 

whats up Tal, I like your Avtar


BTW ya the pump is fine no worries. it will even get louder when you are low on gas

 

Your pump sounds like it's fine. The nickname for the Walbro is the Whinebro . The pump was noisy as hell in my turboed Eclipse GS.

 

Normal

 

Do all brands make this sound?

 

My walbro whines occasionally. Usually when it's cold or when I'm at idle...

just adjust your music louder so you cant hear it

 

Some days mine is LOUD as hell!! but then you don't hear it for a week or a month. It's just weird like that.
