Quick Identification, what does the Nippondenso Fuel pump look like?

Ok, so first thing's first. I bought a "Supra" Fuel pump. The reason why it's in quotes is because I question whether it's a real Supra TT Fuel Pump. Well here's a picture of what it looks like:




The main reason why I question whether it is a Supra Fuel Pump is because it says Walbro on the side. I was pretty sure that the Supra Fuel pump was Nippondenso wasn't it? This isn't a Supra Fuel Pump is it?

I need to know this ASAP because I'm getting my car tuned this week, and I need to know whether I got the right fuel pump or not.

That is not a supra pump, or any Nippondenso pump.

You have correctly identified it as a Walbro pump.

Is the stock pump supposed to be bigger than the Walbro? or is the Walbro and the stock pump the same size?

Also, what color is the stock pump? is it supposed to be yellowisH?

I haven't seen a walbro in person, so I can't comment on size.

But this is what the nippondenso pumps look like (stock, supra, cosmo, etc):

I understand that the FD fuel pump is Greenish like the fuel pump from Aaron Cake's page:

alrighty..... you asked almost this same question in a previous post, but heres your answer. the silver pump is a Walbro 255. the greenish pump in a stock Nip fuel pump, and the goldish pump is a stock Denso replacement. both the stock Supra and FD fuel pumps are Nips (greenish) some people buy a Denso replacement which is goldish. like yours.

Yea, because I needed to know this at the moment, the other thread had many other questions and I wanted to change that post to not show it, but it was too late to edit.

Ok, so it would be goldish if the owner didn't premix?

if the owner had the stock pump put in when the car was brand new, it will be dark *** green, that is the Nip pump. if the owner replaced it it could either be a new Nip, which would still be the dark green. if the owner replaced it with a Denso, it will be gold. (the premix thing tints the gold to either a bright goldish or a greenish tinted gold.) i read too fast

ok. here you go.

Stock Nip.


Stock Denso with premix


Stock Denso no premix


Walbro



also the Walbro will seem much smaller than the stock pumps. the Supra pump is a Nip but will be a little larger than the stock FD Nip
