fuel pump for RB20

[mr_rbman]

hey guys, had my car dynoed yesterday and it pulled 149rwkw's on 11PSI on a very hot 37 degree day with only a full mandrel bent exhaust and a hot air pod as he called it. The one thing thats letting me down and he said its the same with all RB20's at this point is my fuel pump, he said its running fairly lean and i could do some damage if not replaced soon so my question is guys with RB20's is:

what aftermarket fuel pump are you using and whats the best value for money?

Can any of the sponsors get any cheap, i'm not looking for something too outrageous cause i'm only chasing a max of 220 rwkw's!

cheers guys!

I have a Tomei pump which is rated to 550hp.

A lot of my mates use the Bosch 040 pump - i have also used this pump and it works great (these cars are pushing between 200rwkw and 250rwkw)

Try to stay away from Walbro and Holley fuel pumps.

is the bosch 040 a straight intank replacement?

I am also insterested in getting a new fuel pump for my R32

[mr_rbman]

Its a straight intank replacment in the sense that you can mound it on the stock cradle with hose clamps, you just need a banjo fitting and dome nut for the top, and some proper in tank hose.

walbro is best value, but no good for high (250rwkw+) power. I paid $170.

GTR pumps can often be overpriced for a 2nd hand pump.. pay no more than $200 for one. Above that just get a Bosch..

i have heard a LOT of horror stories from people using Walbro pumps, and only 1 or 2 cases of them actually holding up, and more success stories with Bosch pumps...

r33perfecto was selling a r33 gtr fuel pump for $150. I've heard these are a very good upgrade.

So this one wouldn't be any good then?

What about the common VL turbo pump? I've heard of people having good results with them. What do they flow like and what sort of price are they these day's.

Might even feed two of them off a surge tank if they're cheap/moderate flowing

Does anyone know what kind of HP a VL turbo pump can support? I've got one sitting at home that i've had for a while. Just not sure if it would be enough on a RB20 with a R33 turbo.
