OBX "2100HP" Fuel Pump

[1tgalon]

I was just looking around for a fuel pump for my new setup. Specifically I was looking at the Pro Series Aeromotive and I happened to come across this.... eBay Motors: OBX High Performance Fuel Pump 2100HP EFI Pro Series (item 150281112110 end time Aug-15-08 21:59:32 PDT) $250 for a 2100HP pump, obviously I am very skeptical of this and would rather pay $600 for the Aeromotive; even though they have a "lifetime warranty" on it. Has anyone tried this pump out before?

Try and give us a review on it.

What are your goals for the car?
Are you only considering an external pump for some reason?
And do you plan on upgrading your tank to filter feed line then to a -12AN?

You could get a Walbro 255lph pump for a little over $100 (or a 190lph pump for just a little less). Then you should get a rewire kit as well as an AFPR and necessary other items (fuel line, AN fittings, etc.). But unless you have a dire need to go to an external pump, an internal would be much cheaper and easier to install. And you can search to figure out how much average hp these two pumps could be good for. At your stage in modifications, a 190lph would be sufficient, but if you plan on going bigger, I'd just get the 255lph and AFPR and be done with it.

Actually I am in dire need of an external pump. I probably should have updated the profile. Since that 92 TSi, I have gone through a 50trim and a 35r. I am talking about this pump for an aluminum rod, gt42 car. I would like to test this pump, but I am a little weary of doing it on this build. Might have to slap this on my buddies turbo mirage, he has a motor that is getting rebuilt here soon anyways.

OBX and 2000hp never seem to go hand in hand together. Added that it's a fuel pump, to have one just suddenly die on you at WOT and you're looking at a new engine. Stick with what's tried, true, and noisy. Get an Aeromotive.

I like noisy. I do agree as well about it dying and thats why I said I didn't want to be the one testing it..... ESPECIALLY at WOT. Anywho just kinda interested if anybody had anything to say about it. I love seeing knockoff stuff that is for huge hp cars. OBX makes a 42r you know.
