Fuel pump questions

Looking for a inline fuel pump to run a FI system. Anyone have any ideas?

Walbro 255 is what the 2nd gen guys use for a stock upgrade.

Ok, the car is a gsl-se but looking for a replacement that works better than stock.
I have also upgraded the injectors and ported the motor.
As for the Walbro 255, is that a inline or a intank pump? I was told intank.

Thanks

Yes it does, but I've heard it is possible to rig an in-tank setup as well...

Yeah it's me. I just got an 83 RX-7 a few days ago that I've been working on.

You are right about it being inline, I would pull it off and put an external 255 in its place if you are going forced induction.

I use a 255 with N/A. I know that a 195 may have been better but I am satisfied with it.

Question

I have a fuel pump problem also. I bought this 85 GSL recently. The previous owner tried to replace the fuel pump with a universal one but couldn't get it to work. I checked and there is no power to the fuel pump. Can anyone tell me where to look or post a picture of where the Fuel pump cutoff relay is and also anywhere else I might check for a power problem. Engine runs great als long as you pour gas domn the carb.

Try a holley. I put one on my car and worked fine for the FI engine. They come in 45PSI or I think 70PSI high flow. They aren't too expensive either.

Go to a 2nd gen in tank set up.

As for the jacker. I think the FP cut relay is beside the ECU, on the firewall on the passenger side.
