fuel pump

[nd_aussie]

ok so everyone knows about my current state as being my car wouldnt start. i thought that it was the ptu but it turns out that its the fuel pump. i went to a used parts shop and got a 90 na fuel pump but the connectors dont look the same. the guy said i could just take the pump out and put it in my old one and connect the positive and negitive and just use my old body. is that true?

never disassembled a fuel pump before, id imagine you can just alter the connections, it would be easier. just curious how much did you spend on that pump?

[nd_aussie]

i spent nothing actually. my friend gave it to me. but i got it all hooked up and it runs. and so much better

[NolimitZ32]

k I was about to say, walbros are relatively cheap and just like tons of other parts the Subaru WRX STI pump swaps over to the Z almost perfectly, flows more than the stock NA unit and usually goes for like $30-$50

[nd_aussie]

whats the psi on the sti? what year and is it better than the tt fuel pump?

[NolimitZ32]

43psi static, not sure what it will go to but Ive seen stock units on HX25/S302/Big16G/VF34 (my turbo, running on a stock 130 lph WRX unit at 20psi making well over 300CHP) cars boosting lotsa power with no problems. Up to 2007 they are 145 lph and from 2008 they are 175 lph

[nd_aussie]

so which one should i run? and are you talking about oem or walbro?

[NolimitZ32]

All the ones I listed are Factory Subaru units that can be run in-place of a Walbro or stock Nissan unit but cost much less and outperform the NA Nissan Pump and could even probably be run on a stock or lightly modded TT

[nd_aussie]

what one would you run though

[NolimitZ32]

On a NA? any of them, they can provide more than your stocker can, much more. Dude if you got a good NA pump don't even worry about it its good enough. I was just throwin the info out there.

[nd_aussie]

no its tt

[NolimitZ32]

In that case Either a stock TT unit (best) or a Walbro 255 (good)
