Walboro FP is too loud

[96bmwm3]

Anyone done anything to quiet down their Walboro 255? Mine sings like crazy! It’s almost louder than my 3” exhaust!

Its possible that it is not wired correctly, and that it is straining itself to flow more fuel. I know that the 255 should be a tiny bit louder, even if that - but it shouldnt be screaming at you.

There is a substance called dynamat. I think best buy sells it. I have used it in doors and trunks to get rid of sound vibration. I bet it woul work well if you put a large square under you seat and might even want to consider lining the underside of the sheet metal as well. http://www.dynamat.com/

Are you still on the factory wiring or have you rewired the pump? It seems some of the Walbro's are much louder then others, you might just be one of the unlucky ones, just like me.

They are louder that OEM for sure. But after a week or so you will not notice to much. Mainly when the wife/gf gets in and starts to ask WTF.

My wife doesn't even ask anymore, she just does this

Explain? By not wired correctly, do you mean is it still on OEM wiring?

I have rewired the pump straight to the battery (via relay). The pump sounds like fuel pumps that I've had before. I just wondered if this particular FP was louder than others. It was installed on the car when I bought it 2 years ago.

Mine whines really loud too. Try a Fuel pump rewire. I need to do mine.

Same thing happened to me, I had a 14b installed this weekend along with a 190, and damn the Walbro is loud. I am also wondering about how a rewire could help the noise.

Thats why its called Whineboro

you could always get a supra fp

I have a Walboro 255HP and it doesn't whine that bad. I am use to it by now. My buddies in his 2G is a lot louder for some reason. Maybe I just got lucky.

I have heard some loud walboros before, most of them wined louder from low voltage like someone said earlier. You said you rewired it already so try turning up the radio and see if that quiets it down.
