Kazuya1274 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi everyone, I'm going to maybe (need money!) start working on my z this summer, and I'm planning out the rest of the parts. My 280zx is turbocharged, and I need a new fuel pump. I need one good for 400 hp (margin of safety). I checked on the walbro pumps, and they have a universal one @ 255lph. Would this be all that I need? I also checked out tpis, but their pump is up to 550hp, a little overkill I think. The price is good on the Walbro, so is it what I need? Thanks- Calen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Look at the Bosch "small" racing pump. The one I have flows enough fuel for 630HP at 43psi. I've had mine in there for three years without problems. It's nice and quiet too. You should be able to get one for less than $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Anyone got the part $ for the "small" Bosch? Didn't Bosch make the Turbo fuel pumps? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I went with the Walbro GSL-392. It is the high volume inline pump Walbro sells. I got it from Alamo Motorsports and paid 165.89 shipped. Their number is 321 722-0498 if you wanna check them out. I have had no pressure drop with 43psi base up to 63 psi (22 lbs of boost).

yo2001 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Walbro is what I got too. It's a little fuel pump but I was tols it'll be good to about 16 psi of boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I've had the Peirburg pump for the last 6 years and it's still going strong. I'm sure you can get them other places but, I bought mine from Cartech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 We just had a discussion fairly similar to this about a month ago: fuel pump thread Most of the information in that thread is pertinent to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I purchased the Walbro GSL 392 external 255l/h and used it on my car. 1 pump allowed me to run 130mph in the 1/4 and the pump is good for about 500wheel hp. I ordered it from racetronix.com for $119 and then the -8 to metric fittings and the install kit. All in all, it was about $150 shipped to my door.
