[Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel pump replacement - Walbro OEM/Toyota/Walbro 255LPH

Post by b4ss »

Hi,
What is the best option for replacing fuel pump, I am not planning on running any big power.

Everyone seems to say walbro 255, but l I see Walbro have a OEM 40PSI version which I was thinking might be perfect for the job, considering no future upgrades are planned.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony, did you get an answer for this after all?
I have 220k in my Rev3 tubby, with the original pump. Not causing any hassle now, but when I will need one pump, I'd like to know the possible options. I don't want a loud pump either.

Cheers,
Julius

P.S: We met few years back on a cars & coffee @ cherrywood :D

Thanks for your reply. OEM supra sounds even more expensive, than OEM MR2. Its 320 bucks on toyotapartsdeal. Is there any cheap and cheerful option available? Some japanparts brand or blueprint or such reliable aftermarket part?

I don't mind paying around 100 - 150 for one, but 320 is a bit steep.

Thanks again

I ordered the Denso version of the supra pump, the part number was 950-0155

It's a bit cheaper than the toyota version and is more than likely the same thing just not in the toyota box. Although I had to get mine from the us.

Thanks, that sounds better.
Have you got it installed? Is it inaudible like the OEM MR2 pump?

Thanks

Sounds good (no pun intended) :)
Did it go in directly? No modifications needed?

I found this, the same as toyota has in the box for turbos (99% sure)

I tried to order that one first but at the time they wouldn't process my order for some reason I can't remember. So I went for the normal denso supra one.

If I did my swap again, I'd get an OEM pump or the Denso Supra pump. The Whinebro lives up to its nickname.

Are the Denso/Kysoan pumps really proven though. I've looked at these pumps a few times but something is holding me back.

Walbro is out of my basket for sure. I just googled walbro noise and you get plenty results. Also, as I read, it gets noisy(er) over time. For some people after 10k.
Thank you very much, I need a reliable pump for 200k

Maybe the higher current draw holding you back. As I read, you would want to upgrade the wires all the way to the battery (or the box in the engine bay) and you may also need a beefier relay (30A?) which could be controlled with your existing relay for the pump.
I could wire it up no problem, but not sure if I would want/need it.

Also, I'm no expert, but wouldn't a much higher pressure pump put more stress on the fuel pressure regulator which could lead to earlier failure?

At this stage I'm leaning towards the OEM equalent Denso pump

It's been in mine 12 months - feeding a 2gr which has done a couple of track days - no issues so far.

Yep mine has done pretty much mostly track day mileage and the afr's were fine. I mean at some point I'll be slapping on bigger injectors and an fpr so thats the next task for it to cope with.

some people are happy to settle for a less refined product. you can hear it in traffic and that just removes some of the comfort and dailyness of the '2
