Just as easy I would guess, I haven't seen a 3rd gen Fuel pump install but I did my walbro and it wasn't too hard.

If you get the one meant for your car it should be a direct replacement as well.

FD pump is a direct replacement (I know from experience). The walbro should be as well.

FD can support about 300 hp on an FC. The Walbro is capable for a bit more.

Same reason I went with the FD pump. I'm estimating only about 270 hp and that $100 I saved can be better spent.

Walbro 255 flows more.
The FD fuel pump maybe flows 20% more than the stock FC turbo fuel pump.

Yes, it's drop in for the Kouki FC, but it's a little different for the Zenki FC.

The Walbro should come with a mount kit which makes it drop-in for all FC's.

So how much power can Walbro 255 support? I'm personally shooting for around 330-350rwhp with my car and want to know if it's safe on Walbro... although I assume that it is, I just want to make sure
