Which fuel pump to use when upping the power??
Hi all,I have a version 6 type r and I am fitting a newage engine and combined with some other mods ill be hoping for 350-400 bhp,I have bought a fuel pump dirt cheap/brand new from a pal who didnt use it but unsure if its a good 1 as its syvec branded not walbro.
I have been looking at the rcm pumps,is there any benefit buying 1 of these over a walbro pump or using what I have?
I think the walbro is 255lph and the rcm pump is 340lph,if My ever used 340 lph then I have a serious problem not to mention an empty wallet from buying fuel!
Any input would be great as there's no point me buying another pump if what I have is up to the job.
Here's my pump

It doesn't matter what pressure it supply's as the regulator only lets through what it's set for so as long as it supply's the correct volume and at the correct pressure well within its limits of operation then is it worth spending extra on the 340 lph rcm pump?

I know,what I am asking is is it worth spending the extra on a fuel pump that supply's way over what ill ever possibly need or stick with a 255lph pump which still supply's more than ill probably ever need?

Hi there
Sytec pumps is what I wouldn't use on my car,have run cheap Wlabro which has been OK at 350bhp,but after we are went with 2.1L we are went with HRC 340LPH,which has been OK at 490bhp without the issue and has been OK at 555.5bhp too
Personally if you are going above 400bhp then 340LPH should be enough for yours needs,but genuine 255LPH should be enough too at this power(seen on single Walbro high 400bhp and early 500bhp)
As above HRC 340LPH is best for money and if its budget then RCM 340LPH or Walbro 450LPH,with last one you shouldn't have any issue at high 500bhp and early 600bhp
As above all depends on budget and bhp target
Thanks,Jura
