Many have had problems with the replacement. First, make sure you need an upgrade - look and see the LPFP pressure dropping. Second, consider an inline pump rather than an replacement. Third, if you still want to go ahead with the replacement, do it properly by studying and learning from others' mistakes.

R.G. · 07-23-2013, 11:32 PM

Just noticed the 450 is the same part number as well

If you look at the part numbers they are the same for most 455 and 400 walbro pumps.

Agreed, I used regulator line for venturi and it is flawless.

Where can I find instructions on how to read logs from my JB4? Can't find it on N54tech. But I'll keep doing my research for those that might respond with, "keep researching."

Hey Rob, did you purchase a whole setup from ECS Tuning or the like to get the regulator line? Or is there somewhere you can buy it individually? I have been having issues with mine recently... had it come off 4-5 time in a matter of days. I had no problems after installing it initially with the Gates line in March, but I ended up having to replace the Gates line with a teflon line which has been holding up for the last week with no issues. If need be, I would like to have this regulator line available.

Also is it a PITA to get it on the "T" like the other in tank line is? I know when I pull my bucket I have to disconnect the two lines coming from the pump to the "T" because I can't pull off the in tank line from the "T".

Here is the line I am using now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190862745014...84.m1497.l2648

I intend to use these over the regular hose clamps if I pull it all apart again: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I replace my regulator and used line off the old unit!

I also had my hose come off multiple times. Ive finally got things working by using Gates submersible fuel hose which so far has been amazing.

I also had some kinking issues with my lines and ended up putting 90 degree elbows in so anywhere I had bends that could kink wouldnt.

+1... I would NOT recommend installing the pump as a FULL replacement. I'll post up in about a week why not...

No, I will tell you what happened to my car in a week. You know e90 people, they will instantly start gossiping about what happened before I get a concrete answer. This pump should really only be installed 'in-line' because of the random drops in fuel pressure and the ramp-up for these pumps is 0 OR 99%, haha. It's not a bad pump, just in my opinion (and others), it should be used 'in-line' and not as a full oem replacement.
