I know on Reted's site he says they only have about a 10-15% better capacity than the FC ones... But I have the oppurtunity to buy someone's FD fuel pump pretty cheap and was thinking maybe I'll do that since I need one to go along w/ my exhaust... Would this be good enough with a mildly ported S4 T2 and full 3" exhaust? Or would you say this is still pushing it some... And that I should just wait a little longer and go with a walbro?

edit: Mind was elsewhere and I said flow instead of capacity. Changed that.

 

The FD pump will work fine for you but you might as well get the better Walbro. Its only a hundred bucks.

Ah, mainly just wondering because he may give it to me for $30. Figured if I was fine like this I'd wait til I spent the money on another turbo in the future to bother w/ getting a better fuel pump.

 

It should work fine, unless your running very large injectors and very high boost.
remember the FD has 550 primary injectors and 850 secondaries.

 

^Yea,what he said.

I'd worry about those things, unless we're talking about some kinda liquidator?

The original FD (hell, all RX-7) fuel pumps were all made by NipponDenso.
ND makes very good, quality stuff.

I'd bet it some crappy Made-In-China crap that just happens to flow about the same as the stock FD fuel pump?

If you're worried about performance, cheap is going to bite you in the ***.
