The walbro you pictured for the low price doesn't include an install kit.
The xenocron pump does.

I have not used the xenocron pump, only walbro 255 lph pumps....

My best advice, don't cut corners on a build or you will end up spending more money then you intended...

HiProfile

A few years ago the chinese started knocking off Walbro & Bosch pumps. They've since realized people will also buy pumps as long as Q.C. was upheld - I'd guess that's what Xeno's pump is. However, for a built motor, an extra $30 is "chump change" when you consider the extra insurance you have when you buy the Walbro from a reputable dealer. I would avoid most sellers when it comes to Walbro pumps.

It's too critical of a part to chance getting a POS.

so u think that ebay walbaro is a fake? or the xenocron is some cheap chinese knockoff? they say it comes with one year warrenty

To reiterate what HiProfile already said, the fuel pump is a pretty crucial piece. I would go to reputable sellers ONLY for this item. The savings (cheap ebay pump vs genuine Walbro) pale in comparison to the potential costs of a fuel pump failure. Even if the pump doesn't "fail" but doesn't flow what it claims, it could still eat up precious dyno time and cost you money in that way as well.

what do you think about xenocron... from what i have heard they have somewhat of a good reputation.... as far as the walbaros whats a good online dealer?

Go to www.hondamarketplace.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49 and look around for Walbro pumps. The Marketplace is the ONLY place i would go for such items...you can find most anything there

There are fake chinese pumps in the marketplace too.

The xenocron is definitely Chinese, but I have had nothing but good results with them which is why I decided to originally carry them.

I too always recommend though that if you have it in your budget (and you should) to go with a Walbro...however, their warranty policy is bleh if you ever had to go through it.

...although I have never had to use the warranty on any Walbro pumps I have used or sold, and on my pumps, I think it was ONCE in the entire time I have been selling them where I had to replace the pump from failure.

www.go-autoworks.com can get you a good deal on a walbro with an install kit.

by the time you figure out its the pump, the warranty on a 90$ piece is the furthest thing from ur mind...

ended up getting the walbaro for 80 bucks from a good performance shop by my house

Not trying to be arrogant here, but this was posted in the forced induction forum - so I'm assuming this car will be getting a turbo setup?

No matter HOW tight the budget, if $100 for a fuel pump is straining things.. Seriously?

^ha exactly

I have used the xenocron fuel pumps more then once with great results without failure. I personally know people running them on there daily drivers for over 3 years.
