Which Of These Fuel Pumps Is A Good Buy?

[yoshiii335]

Hello I have researched fuel pumps and have come down to a couple I am looking at.

Does any one know of the quality of Detschworks fuel pumps?

I am looking at a Walbro 255l or a Tomei 255l or the Detschworks 255l and maybe the Bosch 044.

With the Walbro and Bosch 044, are they hard to mount to the r32 gtst-t fuel pump cradle?

Do I have to buy the socks seperately?

Which ones which be a good choice?

None?

You need to start by letting us know your future power goals, and whether you plan to run e85 one day. Personally I would be shoving a Walbro 416L e85 pump in there, or the Walbro 255 if you want to save a few bucks.

Socks come with the pump.

PM me if you would like some price quotes.

Tomei pump. I've had mine for years. Easy to install, has the sock on the end, nice and quiet

But it does depend on HP you are chasing?

I want to aim for 300hp first and after that go for as close to 400 hp as I can with good response.

I have a rb20 with stock turbo, full turbo back exhaust with sports cat. return to stock piping fmic, and will put on a boostcontroller soon and maybe a rb25 turbo. I live in Japan so no E85

I would like Tomei but it is last place right now due to price.

On what fuel? I assume pootrol?

A Walbro 255 for $100 will do the trick. I usually hoseclamp them onto the hanger in the tank.

The gas here in Japan for Hi Oct is pretty good, 97 or something like that.

It is still crap compared to ethanol fuel.

Doesn't Japan have 100RON fuel or something?

BTW, Tomei fuel pump = Nismo fuel pump IIRC.

[Blackkers]

any of those pumps you mentioned will do what you need on petrol.

The walbro is probably the cheapest. It's well known and reliable too

As above, pretty much any new pump will be fine. I have an 040 in R32 running 25Neo at ~350 engine HP and it's fine. And it's old - I put in in many years ago.

As above also, the Walbro 255 would be a fine cheap choice. But being in Japan maybe one of the Jap tuner brands like the Tomei one would also work out acceptably priced.

How about the AEM 50-1000?

$100 and flows 320l/h
