i am planning to keep the stock twins but i want to get as most out of them.
what do guys think of the walbro 255 lph pump?

thanks!

OEM, nothing wrong with it until you are getting into huge horsepower. You can probably find it a hell of a lot cheaper than Mazduh dealer price. I forgot what brand it is but if you search a little you'll find it quick.

Or try Molloy Mazda.

Please use the search option. There are many topics on the various aftermarket fuel pumps. Here are a few threads to get you started:

i did the search thing. i didn't find what i was looking for. and to tell you the truth i think it very rude that you post these replies. if you don't want to answer our questions then don't. some people don't mind. it seems you have no life.

Actually, if you read the following thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ight=fuel+pump

(same one I posted earlier), it has quite a bit of information about the Walbro fuel pump.

That thread contains some information on the topic which you requested "what do you think of the walbro 255 lph pump".

Wow.. only 14 posts and lashes out at a moderator. To answer your question a stronger fuel pump will do two things for your stock twins with no mods, jack and squat. Don't waste your money.

forcfed7

yes but i also asked about other fuel pumps. the walbro was just a question.

i may only have 14 posts but i've been on this forum for years. i just don't make many posts because i (usually search and find what i need.) i am not a post *****.

also i do have some mods: dp, mp, cat back, intake, pfs computer, geddy smic.

I agree with forcefed7. Why do so many people respond with "Go Search" instead of simply ignoring the question or answering it. The only real reasons to be here are to learn and to teach. Why sooo much snarly?

walbro , best bang for the buck. i have it on my fd not problem what so ever. and the pump is only $100 bucks. can't beat that.

To many who answer questions, extremely common or basic ones tend to signify a lack of effort on the part of the poster to help themselves by using the search feature. I know that some do use the search feature, but many don't even bother... and more often than not, it shows in the type of questions they ask.

Those who answer questions would like to see people exercise at least a little indication of effort in finding the answer for themselves before leaning on them to answer. Not only do people get tired of answering the same questions over and over again, but it's an imposition; implying that they've got nothing better to do with their time than answer the same question again because someone couldn't be bothered to search.

There was absolutely nothing in the the first post that indicated to me that a search had already been done, and forcefed7 asked specifically about the Walbro pump, which has been discussed many times in the past, as Mahjik pointed out, and even included a couple links for. Furthermore, it wasn't implied that forcefed7 was asking about other pumps, because although the thread title was general, his specific mention of the Walbro pump indicated that he was asking if the Walbro was the best fuel pump for the price. Not "any" pump. And finally, many people consider the Walbro (myself included) to be the best fuel pump for the price, so if he found the information for himself, why is he still asking? It's been said before.

I understand that people want the "human touch", and that it makes many people feel better to have "fresh" information (and attention) rather than digging through past threads, but if someone actually does the work to do a search for you, on the topic you asked about, the last thing you should probably do is get shitty with them about it... and people wonder why no one wants to help them.

Some people should also be forced to take a post-writing class. There ought to be examples of good (and bad) posts in the FAQ. I've seen horrible thread titles by the dozen which do nothing to describe what people are asking for, and then the barest of information in the first post. People need to make a little more effort to create a very descriptive title and post if they want an answer. Show that you've put a little effort into composing your question and people will be more likely to help.

Good post:
Why is this a good post? The title is very specific and descriptive of what is being asked. No one has to rummage through the thread to find out what was really being asked. Not only that, but the poster made an effort to help others answer him by including a link to what he was talking about.


"Bad" post:
Why is this a bad post? Because the title is non-specific in the extreme, for starters. So someone clicks on this thread assuming that it's a life-or-death plea for tech advice for someone's FD (as implied by the title, and where it was posted) only to find out that it is yet ANOTHER research paper/report request, and that the person is apparently unable or unwilling to find the information for themselves. What this post says to me is "Do it for me, I'm too lazy to do it myself". I'm sorry if that's "snarly", but I (and many others) have no patience with people who seem to expect others to do something for them without first making an effort themselves.

How to improve this post? First, the title should have been more descriptive. It probably would have received less attention, but it would have wasted less people's time, and that's one component which leads to "snarly". Second, the poster should have indicated somehow that they'd already done a search (or two, or three) and linked to some information, and then asked specific questions about anything they were unclear on. That shows effort on their part and eliminates the "do it for me" implication.

That should be only common sense, but apparently common sense is in short supply these days... I blame AOL for letting the unschooled, unwashed masses onto the Internet.

If all you're ever going to run is stock twins, (or even some smaller singles), call a toyota recycler and ask for the pump from a late-model Supra Turbo. I got mine for less than $100 bucks, its a direct bolt-in, and is the same pump alot of shops sell as an uprgrade for over $200.

bbwaaahahahahaha...

Dude, I know it seems like these guys are a bunch of @#0!!#$ but after you have been on here a while you will see why they do it...It's really frustrating when you are in a time of chrisis an have to weed through all the BS posts to get to the ones with the really valuable info...

I think that's why they do it

Only once. They last a lot longer than apex seals, or didn't you know that?

Exactly. Many good and informative posts get pushed into inexistance because of stupid repetative threads.
