Ive heard alot of good things about the Walbro 255 LPH pump. Well, I also heard from Rafic that the 300ZX TT fuel pump will work. Well, what if it's not a twin turbo? How about just a Maxima's (VG30DE) fuel pump? There are alot of these around and I can pick up a real minty one for $50. The Walbro ones I see here in the city are $200+. I think thats a bit of a rip off =/. Can anyone let me know if these will do the trick?

Thanks!

One of our sponsors selling Walbros cheap. There's a couple others that do too, so take a look around in that forum.

I ditched my Z32 TT pumps because they got lazy on me. I now have the walbro 255lph and it works just fine, but be wary of the F/P regulator catching hell by trying to hold the fuel load. Remedy, Nismo F/P regulator.

The Maxima/non-TT Z is better than stock, for sure. I don't think they'd be good for much more than 250hp @ the flywheel though.

I'd highly reccomend the walbro. They can definatly be had for less than $200. Just look around.

Ive been running z32 TT pump for about 3 years now and shes still going strong. I havent had any problems with flow or pressure.
