Default My walbro is Fu*#!ng Loud!!

hello all, i have a question, i recently put in a walbro 340 for my tnt nitrous kit. I noticed at first it was a little louder than my stock pump,but now its super loud. i mean it is whirring like a damn blender . i have no problems with pressure on or off n20 its just annoying.. i have to turn up my radio so i cant hear it. the first thing anybody says when they get in is "man your fuel pump is fixin' to go out". Anybody else have one of these noisy bastards? the psi stays around 50.
thanks matt

Its shouldnt be annoyingly loud...not sure what that means when it becomes loud, but I would pull it and see if something happened to it....maybe exchange it

How long has it been in, and how long after install did it start whining?

My Walbro has 25K miles on it and its WAYYYYYY quieter than my stock pump was (stock pump had ~25K miles on it). My guess is yours is f*cked somehow.

i just put it in about 3 weeks ago, its a PITA to get the damn thing back out , i have an access hole but its on a convertible and if you have ever saw a 98 model vert and where you would have to cut the hole (the metal tank)you would see my reason for bitching. oh well guess i might as well pull it out my damn ses light has been coming on due to a bad o2 sensor so im ordering a ORY and simulators.. if i cant find some used. i went to get just a new sensor ..70 bucks to hell with it get rid of them right? Therefore my car will be down awhile. thanks for the replies guys,matt

make sure you have some rubber hose or something between it and the pump bracket you are securing it to.
