Have a look at this?





I know its a fuel pump, but can anyone else tell me more about it?
(who is it made by? what model car is it for?) etc.

Looks like a Walbro to me, but you do need to take the foam sleeve off to see the part number. I don't know what pumps Prodrive use but one thing's for sure, Prodrive aren't in the game of manufacturing fuel pumps. Anything that's a 'Prodrive' fuel pump is simply one that they have resold under their own name.

So you didn't believe my post on SIDC - huh?
Prodrive/Walbro must be slacking as ones I've seen have all marks ground off.

You lot are pretty good!
A couple more questions though.

Will this fuel pump fit my Impreza WRX 2002?
Will it make a difference to the power?
Will there be any point in fitting it?
How much is it worth?

It'll fit your car.
It won't give you any extra power on its own.
They go for about £50 (new) on Ebay.

I have a prodrive ecu and exhaust fitted.
Is it worth fitting the pump?

although on its own it won't give any more power it will give you far more safety/reliability.........................
