Default Fuel Pump... which to buy...

Alright...

Has ANYONE bought or tried the Modified Bosch unit from Endyne?? My thinking is that bosch would be the people to rely on for a fuel pump... most of the systems they build for have MUCH higher line pressures than normal injection systems... so their pumps HAVE to be good...

I've heard nothing but bad stuff about walbro's...

And that's about what I've heard of...

Any input experiences or suggestions appreciatted.

I can't remember where I heard/read this, but pretty much all of the aftermarket fuel pump are the exact same peice just rebadged.

I have a Walbro 190 lph, and it does it's job. It's noisy as hell, but it does it's job and has never let me down, even running the car down to next to no gas.

i think most of the h-t member here would buy walbro fuel pump for future mods, but otherwise i would just go oem for the engine that in the car.

i have had a walbro 255 since jan- or about 3,000 miles. it has worked fine for me. i know alot of people who own volkswagons who use bosch fuel pumps. im sure that either one will work fine.

I'd say your idea is good, I haven't heard anything bad about walbro, but at the same time I don't own one either. So, I have no personal experience with walbro. Anything the endyne makes is good, so you know you cant go wrong. Plus if your going FI in the future, it won't hurt to have a pretty beefy fuel pump anyways.

I've used both Bosch and Walbro units. I was much happier with the Walbro unit. The Bosch unit was so huge that it would NOT fit in the factory fuel tank on my old 1995 Prelude. I had to mount the Bosch pump externally, which was not very clean looking. The Walbro fits right in, no problem.

The Walbro pump supplies plenty of fuel for most any street car. They are very inexpensive to boot. The Bosch units seem to be pretty much overkill unless you are trying to fuel a fighter jet.

And there you have it ladies and gentelmen, firsthand experience from someone who's used both. Doesn't get any better than that.

I have the Walbro 255, it's noisy and chokes when I'm really low on gas, but other than that I've had no problems at all.
