Fuel Pump help
I'm going to be replacing my walbor 255 in-tank pump here soon and need help choosing a replacement pump that is similar. Anyone have any suggestions. I just have the basic bolt ons: long tubes, intake, and exhaust so i don't need anything crazy just yet. I was looking at the aem e-85 pump, but i don't know if the 320 would be too much pump for now.

All i know is that people here use 340 and up pumps for turbo and supercharger applications i don't know if its a good idea to go to a bigger pump for N/A cars. Phunk is definitely the man to ask.

If you are staying NA, then I would just get another 255... did it fail or was there a reason you wanted to swap?

If you did all the drilling, etc, then your idle pressure will be low if you go back to OEM. I think the only case in which you would want to go back to OEM is if you never drilled anything for the 255 and never got a tune done after installing it. EDIT: See phunks posts below - more clarifications and corrections what I have said.

I have been considering making a batch of billet aluminum jets for the bottom of the stock fuel pump module so that nobody has to modify the stock one anymore. They could sell it to someone who wants to go back to stock or keep it around in case they wanted to.
I wonder how many people would spend an extra $45-50 during their fuel pump upgrade to get a jet that didnt need drilling? |

I think what would have saved me is having a diagram or something to look at so I better understood what I was trying to accomplish with the drilling. Also a table with common pumps and drill sizes to take out the guess work.(Please don't take any of that the wrong way, I am not placing any blame on anyone but myself particularly since my fueling equipment was supplied by another vendor) All that being said, most people on here would see $50 as a drop in the bucket when doing a build and are more than willing to spend. I am one of the more frugal (CHEAPSKATE) members, it would appear.
