Anyone ever use this fuel pump. Its not the walbro but the other one they are advertising along with it. Just curious about any feedback with it.

It's just a refurbished, painted walbro with a foam sock to make it quieter. Just get a new walbro

Get a Walboro or a Bosch pump. They are not that expensive.

Do you really want to trust a $2, 3, or even $4,000 rebuild to a $79 fuel pump? Especially one with failure rates like the walbro's are known for?

This is one reason the rotary has a bad rep. People cheap out where they shouldn't. I had a fuel filter clog on me on the dyno, instant destruction. $120 filter, $250 pump, and still, warped seals. You want to try to get by saving a few dollars, go for it

I never said i was going to buy. I wanted to know if anyone used this pump. I have used walbros before and loved it. It was a simple question. Thats why I stated that i was curious if anyone has used it

I personally wouldn't get ANY kind of walbro. I used one once, for two days, before it went far far away from my car. I have the datalogs somewhere to prove that they can't keep up with a set of 750/1000's running high 80% duties with a static pressure of 42psi and 15lb's boost. They don't flow what they advertise.

Why would you care if anyone has used them if you're not interested in buying it?

Run a dual Walboro set up or just get an Aeromotive pump if you need that much .
