So my Walbro 255's are on their way out, on both my Evo and my Eclipse, giving me lots of trouble with the heat we've been having. Does anyone have any experience with the Deatschwerks fuel pumps? I've read lots of reviews pertaining to other cars but not really many for Evo's or DSM's. Just not sure if I should try something new or stick to what I've used on all my cars for fp's since I was sixteen. Thanks.
 
I personally use Walbro on everything but have friends with Deatschwerks and they've worked just fine. The question is, why are your pumps failing due to heat? Is it ambient heat or are you talking about wire heat? Have you tried using larger gauge wire and a relay to disperse some of that heat?

The reason I ask is because I can't help but noticing you live in Alaska. I'm from an eternally tropical climate and have never had a heat buildup issue with my Walbro pumps even on my race car unless I was using too thin of a gauge wire.

I've always used Walbro 255 pumps, but they have never worked great in the long run. Have had many go bad after a year or two and decided to try the DW300 pump and couldn't be happier so far. It's as quiet as a stock pump without any of the annoying "whine" noise the 255 pumps have.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta. It wouldn't let me select any Canadian provinces. My Eclipse is hard wired with very thick wire. Evo is running stock wiring. I think the pumps are just tired, and the heat doesn't help.
 
DW pumps are great. I've had them in my eclipse and my subie with no issues at all. And very quiet. Walbros are known to be noisy and whiny.
