Quietest Fuel Pump - Testing Walbro 255 and MSD Fuel Pumps
The inline pumps of your dreams...
I've been running Walbro 255 (GSL392BX) pumps for years on all sorts of project cars but on our LS swap 1969 VW Beetle (the pig) - I'm tired of listening to the super loud whine of the fuel pump. To fix this issue I recommend replacing it with a MSD 2225 pump. I now prefer these pump because they seem to last well and are substantially quieter. Here's quick review of both electric pumps and we bust out the decibel reader to assist with the myth of different mounting positions makes things quieter. As a quick reminder - remember the Walbro 190 pump is a good inbetween option sound wise!

Redrilling Vintage Wheels To A Different Bolt Pattern - Chevy wheels on Volvo 240
มุมมอง 3112 หลายเดือนก่อน
The 80s are alive and well... well they're alive at least... I've always dreamed about installing 1980's Pontiac Trans-am/Firebird wheels on a Volvo. The first step was finding the GTA wheels on Facebook Marketplace for $300 - they were in great shape so it was well worth the price in my opinion. Unfortnatly wheels adapters cause the rims to stick out too far so I decided to get them redrilled....
How To Fix a Noisy Aftermarket Suspension - Bolting In Coil Springs

If all else fails get the welder out... Hey everyone, on our 1969 (nice) VW Beetle I was having an issue with a popping/clunking sound when going over bumps?. To fix this noise I decided to bolt them in since my aftermarket control arms doesn't have a proper seat to keep the spring held tightly in one place. When I used a pry bar I was able to recreate the sound. I used a bolt in coil mounting ...

    What about the plunger just above the TPS. Have you ever thought about replacing the plunger that opens and closes the air flow in the throttle body intake? I took mine off and pressed the plunger. I could have blown on it to depress the plunger. I am hoping that the solenoid is working strong enough to push the plunger. Yeh I could have hooked up a 12v supply but thats just a PITA.

    If it works for you, the simplest solution is the best one! You will know when you do some hard corners, aggressive acceleration/deceleration if the pump gets starved for fuel. I am running dual facet 480532 lift pumps to fill a small surge tank with two Bosch 044 fuel pumps mounted vertically inside. Pretty quiet, reliable, redundant, and capable of 1200hp on gasoline or 800 on E85. Baffled efi conversion fuel tanks with even big fuel pumps inside have issues with fuel starvation on high-G loads on muscle cars. Keep up the great work!

      @@MatthewFinlay As light as the car is, I kinda doubt you'd experience any issues with even the most basic of pumps. Other options probably exist as well, such as a replacement tank with the correct flange or modification to the existing tank to accept a fuel pump module (flange installation). Those guys running their cars on the track must use fuel cells to qualify, this might be an option worth considering.

    I’m not at all surprised by this being a “boring” revival. These brick-era Volvos are unkillable machines. I bought a clean 940 Turbo Wagon several years ago out of curiosity and it has been such a great car that I picked up a cheap 940 beater wagon with 300,000 miles on it as a daily work car. If looks like hell, but nearly everything works and it drives like new. 4,000 trouble free miles so far in that old car. It’s easy to become a fan of these.

    Good car, safe, reliable. Then Volvo did something around 25 years ago, the contracted with Dynaudio for the sound systems (upgrade naturally) for what was "the best" sound system in the car industry. Dynaudio = handmade in the Netherlands, not China. Crazy good speakers. Then around 2015, Volvo dropped Dynaudio, not even replacing them. So Volvo was "The King" in OEM car audio, but have spent more time as "the jokester of the court". Did I mention Volvo's are safe cars? So Yes upgrading the Volvo stereo is a good thing. I can't stand to drive a car without a great sounding stereo. You need something for the traffic. lol
