After a fuel pump thats good for 250ish minimum as my standard one is giving up. I was looking at a walbro 255 but after reading limited thread on here, they are a bit of a pain to fit in the standard pump housing? Id much rather have a pump to go in the tank rather than messing about fitting external ones.

Cheers.

I'm still on a standard pump at the minute and never had any issues with fueling at all. You could always use a Bosch 044 under the boot floor but just don't bother with a swirl pot etc

Ditto. For the power and spec you are looking for i don't think you will need to upgrade, from your project thread post just sounds like you need a working standard one Yes

Standard pump is fine for up to 270bhp as Mabgti has proved. Yes

Sorry only just seen this again!

Im more looking at it as future proofing anyway. If i was going to get a standard one, it would be new anyway which is about the same price as the walbro one.

Armz, filter was changed 2k ago for a genuine one.

Bigbadbowen, can you PM me a price delivered please Smile

Whilst I'm here and just to cover all eventualities, can anyone think of any other reasons why he couldn't get any more fuel through? Only thing i can think of is filter and pump

many of the standard pumps are Walbro anyway, they make lots of o.e units.

Fuel pressure regulator,
fuel pump internals breaking down,
half blocked in tank filter / gauze,
faulty / clogged injectors with poor flow rate or poor spray pattern
wrong impedance injectors

lots of reasons lol
