replacement fuel pump over OEM. Reccomendations?

[Spoon-Accord]

gday fellas

i'm in the process of changing every little thing on my 9.
and i was thinking, would changing to say a walbro 190lph would be a better and cheaper alternative then a EK9 or DC2R OEM fuel pump?


any recommendations?

If you're on the cheap, grab a fuel pump from an S15! ~$40.

But as they say, Walboro probably the way to go if you don't mind dropping the paper.

Peace.

I was going to ask this exact same question the other day. Does anyone have any reason for picking the 255 over the 190?

[zhong]

Walbro 255 is more common than the latter. It's actually part numbered: Walbro GSS342.. 255 is the rating of litres per hour.

i would get oem. its quiet and supplies alot more than what na b16b demands

[EKVTIR-T]

if oem cost more then get walbro 255,its a bit noisy but b16b deserve good pump as its one of hondas best engine

also racecar

Thanks guys for the valuable advice

I'm about to grab a walbro 255, the question is that there is a lot of fake fuel pumps online (eBay especially)
They go for around the 100-120 mark,

Wanting to know, if anyone has bought one on eBay and received a genuine pump not fake so I can avoid the scammers

If you buy from the states, and they say it's genuine then there is no worries. They go for roughly that price anyway. Make sure when you get the actual item that the model stamp number is on the actual unit.

are you changing due to yours being faulty btw?

I have a spare ek4 oem one you can have

thats the thing, i'm not entirely sure if mine is on the way out or it's fine, wanted to change it anyway as the future of the EK9 is turbo, so it's good to upgrade it anyway

[EK1.6LCIV]

Do you really need to change it? Otherwise it's a waste of time

iv got a b18cR in an eg and just starting to track it regularly, and experienced a few issues that i guess you wouldnt really notice on the road (high G's and such) so im looking into some fuel pumps, baffled sump (or a baffled sump plate ) which jdm yard supply. just wondering if anyone has any advice on these products or any tips they can give ? thanks guys

i've just installed the walbro 255, noisey on start up but when car is running, sounds just like the OEM unit did.

haven't driven it yet, but will let you guys know if it makes any difference LOL (doubt it)

so users on other forums say it's not good running an aftermarket fuel pump on standard ECU as it bumps up the fuel pressure
but i pondered about it, thinking if that could happen, really can't due to the fact it's running an OEM fuel reg (which means pressure will always be XXpsi and whatever is extra gets recirculated?

someone shed some light on this?
