Which Walbro Pump Is Recommended '95 T5R

Post by **polskamafia mjl** » 28 Mar 2016, 13:04

I understand the Walbro pump is a cheaper alternative to an OEM unit but I'm not sure which one to get. I think the 255 lph pump is recommended but Walbro's website doesn't list the flowrate (at least I can't find it lol). Any help is appreciated!

i just got this walbro aou203 from a junkyard. works well, my old didnt like high revs. Im not sure what the standard pump is rated at lph??

Still if i would buy a new one i would go with higher lph...

Just avoid the ones with additional marks on them.
For example.....Walbro 255 is original Walbro but Walbro 255-01 or 255-02 or 255/01...255/02.That(-01,-02 or /01,/02) means that they are Chinese copies.

I guess you allready know that they are insanely loud.

Oem or standard fuel pump is better solution if your engine isn't tuned.

That is useless without tuned ecu and larger injectors in the same package.
All models,turbo & na have the same flow rate fuel pump.

I'm mostly interested in price at the moment. I just checked IPD and a new fuel pump is $300+ there so for me it seems the Walbro is the way to go. And I'm looking into doing some performance modifications and tuning down the road if I can ever get to Stage 0.

lol

I just spoke to someone from Walbro and apparently the 255lph fuel pump part number is 5CA3351HP. That's a $90 part versus over $300 at both IPD and FCP.

The OEM fuel pump insert is Bosch 69693 usually about $100 on Amazon or eBay. And it is much quieter than a Walbro, just saying ...

Thanks for that. I didn't realize the insert could be bought separately. I thought it was either buy the full assembly for $400 or go with a Walbro. How much louder is the Walbro?

Hmmm...take a look at this one:

With that price for oem,i wouldn't even think about aftermarket.
