should i rewire my walboro 190?

[Mits3gts]

just like the title says,should i rewire my walboro 190 pump? i plan on getting 550's and some sort of 16g turbo. i do have a safc,but i dont want to run into any idle problems or anything.thanks alot

No.

No.

good reason there must be writen in that new invisible text.



I wouldnt rewire it, no reason to yet. The 190 does a better job than what people think. Mine is not rewired and i was pushing 340awhp from it. So if you think you are going to be above that might want to rewire it, if not which it looks like your not dont worry about it.

Why wouldn't you want to go ahead and rewire it? It's not gonna hurt anything and it only cost like 5 bucks . Have you seen the little wire that runs to your fuel pump? I would much rather make sure my pump is getttin all the power it needs so that it isnt pushing itself too hard with too little power. Get bored on a saturday and take the hour to wire it all up, good electrical experience too.

You do not NEED it done yet, BUT why not? Doesnt cost that much and what could it hurt?

Don't waste your time. I'm not sure of the merits of the re-wire anyway. The pumps operate at a constant rate so if they work with the factory wire, they will work fine. If they really pulled all this extra current you would know as they would melt the factory wires.

i dont mind taking the time to rewire it,i've been installing car audio for over 10 years so running a relay with larger power is very simple.i just didnt want my fuel pressure to rise and over run the stock FPR,or cause any idle issues due to a higher PSI at idle.

 

[MitzMadness]

I don't believe it raises fuel pressure at all... It just makes the fuel pump more consistant at higher rpm hitting boost.

^ what he said. It's something that should be done, whether you have a stock pump or a 255. Assuming your modding your car.

 

[Mits3gts]

ok thats what i thought,just wasnt sure if it raised the pressure since it has a less voltage drop.thanks for the info.

Why not re-wire it? Its just a $4 relay and basic wire repair materials and tools. What is it, like 16awg for the stock pump wiring? ! Re-wire it with minimum 10awg and whatever the relay amperage is use that amperage of an inline fuse. Seeing how the electrons travel on the outside of the wire strands, thichker awg would allow more current to be fed to the pump when the alternator isnt charging at full capacity. You said you've been installing car stereos too? Thats all the more reason for you to be motivated. You know how electricity and current works

alright i'll be doing that this week.the only thing i was concerned about is having to get a AFPR to lower my idle pressure.but that doesnt affect that,so its all good.thanks
