Fuel Pumps
 

Following a little hiccup yesterday I'm going to wack a new fuel pump in the old girl, after all it is 16 years old now and for the cost of a replacement it's a lot cheaper than an engine rebuild. Looking around there's not much in price between Walboro 255, Scooby worx SWRD 290 and the RCM 340 but that's probably slight overkill for a standardish car.

Any nightmare stories about the Walboro alternatives although I see CJ mentioned a dodgy batch of 255s the other day.

I have a Scoobyworx SWRD 290 and no probs :ok:

Give Ayln a call
As for the dodgey pumps they should all have been removed from shelves

A walbro will be fine, Alyn stocks them as CJ says....

Cheers guys, could be an expensive call as it's due a service and a gearbox and diff oil change wouldn't go amiss. Also got an ABS sensor gone on the civic, bloody cars.

Only from what I read on internet, but i haven't put an uprated one in the RB5 yet as i am led to believe that the stock fuel pressure regulator has trouble with uprated pumps on the classic. Might be worth asking for advice, as i would certainly like to put one in mine to be safe.

Alyn would prob be good to ask :ok:

Spoken to Alyn and have a 255 on the way, he's only had a problem once with a failing regulator and reckons it should be fine.

cool, i'll have to sell my nearly new 255 pump to get a classic one, RB5 is going to be a bit more rapid over winter :whistle:

Sounds interesting 😉

lol CJ, you are the root cause of all my problems! keep it standard Jo said!

Could always sell it on 😁

Which is what I would of done if you didn't have it 👍

I've got a spare regulator if you need one although they are a PITA to change in situ.

Cheers, hopefully it won't be needed.
