What happens if you don't change your sock filter on your pump

What happens if you don't change your sock filter on your pump
Car wouldn't start, fuel pressure around 21psi and then kept dropping even with GND to F/P on the diagnostic connector.
Checked fuel pump resistor and it shows the right amount of resistance.
Checked the fuel pump connector with ohmeter on A and B which should show continuity. Nothing so according to page F101, it's a dead pump. Only after 20K miles.
Now this is supposedly a rebadged Denso supra pump that rx7.com sells. May be it's not really OEM quality?
I checked my old Denso Cosmos pump and it's showing 10.9 ohms with 40K miles. My stock pump with 68K miles shows 55 ohms.
Question: did your Supra pump failed after only 20K miles?

I dont know if you bought yours new but.....
Personally I have seen four supra pumps fail while cars were tuned on a dyno
Most people buy them second hand, thinking supra pump=fuel
In reality they have a shelf life of no more than four years.
Never buy a used one, which was the case is all four instances this past dyno tune session in December
I recommend you replace that unit with a Bosch

Did buy this Denso pump new 4 years ago from RP (rx7.com).
"shelf-life" meaning that if I let it sits outside the fuel tank in my garage?
Bosch 044 isn't a plug and play option so I'm buying another Denso directly from a toyota dealer for the pump so I know for sure that it's OEM quality. see the following site: http://www.stealth316.com/2-fuelpumpguide.htm#j3
A strange thing. I'm looking at the "Cosmos" pump that I bought from SR. It had the Denso part number ground off but under a 10X scope I can see that it's a part number for a Denso Supra pump. So was SR selling the supra pump as cosmos pump?
what the hell kind of business is this?

Another good reason to re-wire your pump. I replaced the old wiring inside the back hatch and from the pump cover down to the pump and saw a 2 V jump

You're thinking of SR motorsports.
The supra pump is superior to the cosmo pump so it would appear that's a case of under promising and over providing which usually works for me.
The denso pump will last a long time on or off the shelf
That's been my pump of choice for 10 years but I'm also not making over 350 rwhp so I'd say anything over 400 get the apexi GTR pump if you're really going crazy go with two supra tt pumps etc...etc...
The supra TT pump has been a proven pump in these cars for years so I have to disagree with the 4 year life span statement. I'm also NOT a fan of bosch pumps.

Btw, I have the Apexi BNR33 pump which was a pretty straight forward install. Pump looks identical to the 300ZX/Skyline pump with the rubber jacket in that link, probably same pump that Apexi modified. With stock wiring fuel pressure barely drops at 430rwp. Altough I do plan on doing the Dale Clark re-wire before I re-tune.

As an aside, I had mine fail while being tuned at the RX7Store back in summer 2008. The pump was supposedly a only a year or two old with low mileage (it was installed when I purchased the car and I had the receipts, etc.). Not sure what it made before failing, but I ended up making 405whp after replacing it with a new Supra pump. Like with all things, you should expect that parts won't last forever and you might have just had a bad pump.

I took the denso pump out and it seems that my fuel strainer (the sock like portion) that feeds into the pump is clogged.
While waiting for the OEM Toyota Supra turbo pump, I am putting on the SR Motorsport "Cosmos" pump with a new fuel strainer tomorrow. My hunch is that the strainer didn't allow fuel to flow into the pump and probably killing the rx7.com pump.
The thing that bothered me about both rx7.com and SR Motorsports is why they had to scratch off the model number of the pumps? Are these second quality pumps that Denso sells and so Denso (or the vendors) removed the part number?

That was going to be my suggestion, check the filter sock. The pump was starved. These old gas tanks have alot of rust, another reason to use a high quality fuel filter with a 10 micron element to keep that crap out of your injectors. I have Jason's pump in my car and don't recall the numbers being filed off.

If that's case you may need to change the thread title. It's not the pumps fault if there is clogging elsewhere.
