Real Walbro vs Fake Walbro

Real Walbro vs Fake Walbro. Real Walbro is the first one you hear that sounds like it pumps. The second pump you hear is the fake, it sounds like a toy drill. The last one you hear goes back to the real Walbro. Genuine Walbro fuel pumps have a shiny silver smooth surface, are coated in a thin film of oil from the factory, and come in a vehicle specific installation kit/bag. As you can now also tell, the genuine Walbro pump in the fuel cradle in this video has its own distinctive sound compared to the fake Walbro pump on the ground.

First = real Walbro.

Second = fake Walbro that sounds like a toy drill/ toy electric motor

Last = back to the real Walbro.

Real Walbros sound like they actually pump and easily identifiable by the pulsating noise they make.

my pump does the same as the first you try out but inside the tank makes less noise than the stock one, is it normal ?

Hi Miguel, no it wouldnt be a Walbro pump. Walbro pumps are not known for being quiet. They are actually nicknamed 'Whinebro' because they are loud and can make a whining noise. If yours sounds like the first one tested and is quieter than the stock pump, you have a fake Walbro.

qmiler88, you're a dickhead. You dont have to see clearly to notice the difference, use your frikken ears. The real Walbro (shiny pump) makes the pumping sound and the fake sounds more like a motor in a cheap kids toy drill. The evidence is there whether you believe it or not. This video is out there to help people tell the difference. The fake had failed several times in this particular 4G63T powered car and as soon as it was replaced with a genuine Walbro there has never been a problem since.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU this kind of info is what we, performance chaser, like to see and share!!

This is the best proof you can take very easy. Today I received my new walbro gss342 and it has this shiny silver look and thin oil all over it.. now I can rest assure I really got an original (bougth it from a walbro aut dealer) as previous one does not goes beyond 50 psi at 10 psi on my turbo engine but unfortunately I had bought the first one over ebay (and not cheap). Again thank you.
