Another quick fuel pump ? I'm slow. :)

[Trippnup2]

Need to know if I should get the 255 HP or LP or go with the 190? For quick background info I'm planning on getting the FPBig 28.

Thanks!

IMHO you need to get some other mods before you start worrying about another turbo... as far as a fuel pump... again, I would be worrying about a LOT of other stuff before you start worrying about fuel upgrades... might I suggest an intake or new cbv/bov?

I think im gonna add this phrase to my signature

"Supporting Mods First"

Seriously though to answer your question it all depends on wether or not you think youll want to go bigger later, and I know ofcourse right now your saying no why would I, but alot of people change their mind after theyve already upgraded once like myself.. but if your planning on sticking with the Big28, then the 190 and 550s would be fine with an AFC to lean it out, no AFPR needed, a 255 would require an AFPR

Thanks for the help guys! I know I need the supporting mods first. I actually have an intake, 1st gen bov, and upper ic piping coming via UPS as we speak. I just want to pick up the fuel pump now because I can pick one up for a decent price now. Sooo if I need it I might as well save money now and have it when I want to throw it on!

your like the 3rd person to say that to me this week.. let me guess a Walbro 255 for 100 bucks right?

 

[Trippnup2]

Yeah it's the group buy over on DSMTALK's board. The dude said he would sell the 255lph HP or lp OR 190lph lp for 100 shipped with install kit and rewire?

 

[larryd]

nice.. i didnt know you could buy the 190s brand new.. I bought mine used for 50 bucks

 

[Trippnup2]

Correct me if I'm wrong(I am a lot) The 190lph pump is the same size as a vr4 fuel pump?

 

[larryd]

yup

 

[Trippnup2]

So you have a vr4 pump in your car now and it works well? No complaints? I am almost positive that the FP Big t-28 is as big as I want to go. (car being a daily driver for now) Once I'm done with the engine I want to make this a decently competive show car(bags, stereo, interior) So in your best judgement the 190 *should* be fine?

 

[larryd]

yup.. the 190 should be fine.. mine works great.. but if you ever do want to upgrade the 190 wouldnt be enuf for others, a 255 would be required..
