Walbro Fuel pump... any experience with those??

[Erick]

So I traced everything in my fuel pump wiring and I figure the fuel pump is probably whats bad...... again.

I am considering buying a new fuel pump, but I realize that the Walbro 255lph pump is significantly cheaper than OEM. Now my question:

Will I flood my engine with fuel with that pump or does the pump work by only sending the amount required by the injectors/ECU.... maxxing itself out at 255lph?

And basically..... should I go with the Walbro or man up and buy the OEM pump?

Thanks,
Erick

Its a return style system, so the regulator keeps the pressure somewhat constant in the rail, and the rest is returned to the tank. The walbro will work fine.

e30m3performance has some info on a couple pumps used with the well-cell.

Its the rotary's fault... not the fuel pump lol

As for the pump, I found one locally (ironically for an rx-7 since u just mentioned it) for $70.
