Looking for a T2 fuel pump. My car... is running on an NA fuel pump (N351), and i am a dolt. If anyone has a T2 fuel pump (N370) please contact me via pm here or e-mail kouta@comcast.net.

Also: if i just decided to go buy one from an auto parts store would it be simple to drop in? or is it going to give me a headache?

it should be a very very easy install. bleed off fuel pressure, Remove the tank cover, remove fuel lines and electrical connector. After that i think either 1 screw or a clip holds the actual fuel pump to the assembly. Remove that and the sock and it's done. Install in opposite order..... 30 minute job.



also, you might wanna checking into getting an FD pump instead.

I was looking at this

would that be good enough, or should i be looking for something different?

also anyone know anything about this? http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....=52&ptset=A

I would honestly just pick up a walbro

cheap and effective. Maybe someone can chime in with the exact part number.

Woundup7, did you use a 2nd gen tank with a walbro in your 7 or did you use the external in-line walbro?

Kouta 06-23-2006 06:56 PM

but if i get a higher flow fuel pump would that mean i would need to change/get a new fuel pressure regulator, or would the pump just not make it flow that much anyways? rather are pumps just on/off or are they dynamic?

also getting a new/better pump would make it better for when i am up in high rpms boosting right?



sorry, all this confuses me since i never really researched it, but i am learning...

rmriggin 06-23-2006 08:20 PM

you shouldn't have to. Volume and PSI are different. A higher flow fuel pump can deliver more fuel/volume at the same psi as the original pump.

I can try to make an example for you.

If you have a garden hose that has x amount psi of water coming out of the end you can turn down the garden hose knob so that there is less volume coming out. Now if you put your thumb over the end of the garden hose causing the same amount of psi out of the hose even though there is less volume.

Make sense?

It is exactly that reason that even though a fuel pump may be delivering as much PSI as it should it could still be bad if it is not delivering the volume it should.

Kouta 06-23-2006 08:54 PM

Ah I see, as you can tell I failed math multiple times. Thanks for somewhat explaining, and giving me the link, i think I will be set... also just for reference whats the flow ratings or whatever for the na and turbo fc fuel pumps? (just trying to see how different they really are)

z-beater 06-23-2006 11:58 PM

I have a supra TT pump that is already plumbed for a FD. Since you are such a great guy I would let you have it for 100.



These pumps are good to about 450-500rw IIRC.



New the pumps alone sell for over 250 and this includes the whole pickup. Let me know.

oh and the walbro is a 255lph rated for around 400rwhp.

KompressorLOgic 06-24-2006 01:11 PM

the walbro is 99 shiped on ebay. the walbro will actually over power the fuel regulator at idle, and make hte car a lil rich but only at idle, and this isnt a significant difference really

rmriggin 06-24-2006 02:59 PM

If you want to go another route you could buy an aftermarket regulator (rising rate or something) and then just thread a bolt where the old regulator is on the fuel rail (that is possible right?). What is nice about most aftermarket quality pumps is that they do not require a pulsation dampner (some actually tell you to remove it if there is one). what is nice about that is you can remove the pulsation dampner and block it off. With some of the horror stories I have heard about dampners going bad I think that would be nice to be able to do away with the dampner.

I guess what I am really trying to get at is just go with a walbro and (besides being rich at idle like Ryan said) you'll be fine.

Kouta 06-24-2006 06:23 PM

well i got the fuel pump from z-beater and then had to do some awesome custom work and make it fit/work with an fc, but its all done now... 3 hour job but now i can boost and it sounds healthy and sexy <3 thanks~

rmriggin 06-24-2006 08:25 PM

good to hear it. Thanks Z for helping out a friend and thanks to Kouta for helping out Z.

z-beater 06-24-2006 09:51 PM

So how did you fit that FD sump in the FC tank? I am curious..lol



So now you are all set fuel wise on the tank side. You just need larger injectors, RRFPR, SAFC, Manifold, WG and a larger turbo...



Good talking with you today.

I kinda just cut my sump and put the pump on it, so i had to cut part of the send line then just ran some hose from that to the pump and wired it all up using most of the existing sump just kinda switching out the actual pump and making it fit into the tank.

jenkin 06-25-2006 12:12 AM
