Hi,
I need a new fuel pump for my Bluebird Turbo. Pretty sure the last one I bought of eBay was a fake... it hasn't lasted well.
Can anyone recommend a reputable parts place that does mail order reasonably quickly?
Thanks

unless youre running several times qhat the original engine pushed out I'd juat get a standard replacement, they're good for something like 350-400+
they rarely fit nicely into anything.

I am running more power... not 350 BHP but significantly more than standard so would prefer to have a very capable pump. walbro fits fine on my Bluebird, it's harder to find and more expensive to buy a standard replacement Found one here - 80 quid delivered. www.glencoeltd.co.uk |

Yep, a lot more money (around seventy quid more for a motorsprot one) but you'll have peace of mind especially with a boosted engine. I'm saying that as the last Walbro I bought didn't last long. Now, I could have been unlucky but I treat the Bosch pump as fit and forget. |

I use a standard Bosch oem pump on my 240 bhp zx, it flows 180 lph which is more than enough.

Out of interest where did you buy your last walbro from Woofwoof ? My last one didn't last long either, i'm pretty sure it was a fake foolishly bought from eBay - so this time I bought from an authorised seller... |

I bought it back in 2014 but can't remember the seller's name, they were/are fuel injection parts suppliers. Anyway, I was lucky as faulty Walbro was diagonised on the rolling road, if I continued driving the engine would have gone bang as I had no AFR gauge at the time. |
