Walbro or Supra MKIV Pump?
Any opinions on which one of these pumps to use for an upgrade? Walbro has a HP250 and a 250 L/PH pump but I've been told it's noisy.Not sure of the flow on the Supra TT pump. Anyone using either one of these that can comment. Best prices?
thanks, John

The Supra TT pump flows *slightly* better than the Walbro. It's made by ND (just like ours) and I heard that it's virtually a drop-in. I was thinking about a Walbro in the past, but I think I will probably be going the Supra TT route when the time comes.

I recently replaced the fuel pump on my car and after doing some research I decided to go with the Supra TT pump. The pump is good for 69gal/hr @43psi @12V, which translates to about 280lt/hr. At the 40psi at which the Walbro pumps are rated, the Supra pump puts out 385lt/hr which is good up till about 800hp. That's definitely enough fuel for any car. On a Supra the fuel pump is good for about 500-550rwhp. I think that's more than enough for a FD. As for the fitment, it's an "EXACT" replacement. Everything is in the same exact spot and connects perfectly. It took me about 20 min to put it in. I think it's a great upgrade for any car. The stock pump is said to be "the weakest link"!!

Hey Skooba...click right here http://www.wvinter.net/~flanham/wlanham/fuel/pumps.html for the low down on the Walbro. Highest flowing and nearly $200 cheaper than the others.

Go with the Walbro pump. It's cheaper flows better at higher pressures than the Supra pump, and Holley has a kit for the FD that makes it a drop in replacement. I've been running the Walbro on my car w/TO4S for a year and a half and never had any problems with it. It's not noisy either, I can't even hear it inside the car.

Badass7,
Who said that is a reliable source of info? Just cause someone wrote it that way doesn't necessarily mean it's all true or correct. I really think that that's a bunch of BS, but that's just my opinion. If the Supra pump was so "terrible" as it shows on that website, then why do the Supra's get away with 500rwhp with it?? Btw there is another website that says the complete opposite of what that one says. Which one is more reliable(credible)?? Who knows, but the fact is that the Supra pump is very good and flows more than enough fuel for any modded FD. I can't find that other website right now, but I'll post when I do.
