Upgrade fuel pump for turbo? - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

Jovan · August 14th, 2009, 12:56 AM

Quick question...going to boost my GS. Planning to do the WRX 440cc injectors, 8lbs of boost. Do I have to upgrade my fuel pump like to a Walbro 255lph? I havent really seen anyone say they had to upgrade. Thanks.

TwilsonD7 · August 14th, 2009, 11:01 AM

Few people have them. I heard a evo x will fit and Ripp says they have one.

Jovan · August 15th, 2009, 09:18 PM

Oh ok. Will the Walbro 255lph fit? I have an extra one from my last build that would save my money.

TwilsonD7 · August 15th, 2009, 09:22 PM

No a hair too thick and too tall. Height isn't a big deal, you cab rig the filter on. I've seen it done. Not sure what it took.

Jovan · August 15th, 2009, 10:00 PM

Cool i'll just try it and see if i can get it on.

Ralliart_on_lsd · August 21st, 2009, 09:31 PM

it will fit. the one i have in my car is the warlboro 255. i cant spell it though lol.

infuriated · August 21st, 2009, 10:26 PM

What are the benefits of upgrading the fuel pump for an 8psi, 440cc application? (As that is the same as I am going with)

Jovan · November 6th, 2009, 10:53 AM

^^ Im wondering about this question too. with low boost, is a W255 necessary? Or would the stock pump suffice?

Think about the consequences if the stock pump doesn't cut it. There is your answer.

DarkSidEclipse · November 6th, 2009, 01:54 PM

Low boost I think stock would be fine. However there is a write up on the w255 install on a 3g on the tearstone site. They had the same size issues so it should help a lot

spyder8213 · November 6th, 2009, 02:27 PM

What most people did on their GS is install an inline pump to add the extra fuel.

Jovan · November 6th, 2009, 03:55 PM

cool that answers that. lol.

Jovan · November 6th, 2009, 04:05 PM

The W255 pump is pretty much drop in correct? Or will I need to rewire or replumb anything?

Chaos · November 6th, 2009, 06:39 PM

I forget how but I know you can rewire the stock pump at least in the 3G to flow closer to 225. Look for a right up on club 3g or tearstone

A stock EVO-X fuel pump drops in 100% with no modifications.

Kinda pricey for a stock fuel pump, but if you are staying under 18psi itll be perfect.

horse-eater · November 8th, 2009, 11:21 PM

a STOCK EVO X fuel pump. not an aftermarket pump.

spyder8213 · November 9th, 2009, 08:07 AM

The cheapest I"ve seen a stock Evo X fuel pump is a little over $500. I was gonna go that route as well.

horse-eater · November 9th, 2009, 11:36 AM

call junk yards dude, mine was less than 200 bucks, 5300 miles on it

spyder8213 · November 9th, 2009, 11:38 AM

I'm gonna check on that. I"m also thinking of trying to see if I can get an Evo IX Steering wheel and airbag fitted on the 4G. Get it looking like the RalliArt version.

spyder8213 · November 9th, 2009, 12:30 PM

Ha Ha! I just found one for $180 at my door.

sp33dracerman · November 9th, 2009, 12:33 PM

yes always increase fuel pump capabilities for forced induction it may cost more to regulater butter better than detonation

spyder8213 · November 10th, 2009, 02:16 PM

Sweet! Just bought an Evo X fuel pump for $180.

Jovan, you can get them here Used Car Parts - Standard Auto Wreckers

Im actually looking into the colt RA steering wheel looks much better than the evo wheel IMO

spyder8213 · November 12th, 2009, 11:44 PM

Leet, that's just one place. If you google online junkyard and click on the first or second link, it'll hook you up with more place that have that price.

Reireii · May 3rd, 2012, 03:23 PM

is the 09 Ralliart Fuel Pump an match also?

PearlGreenNMean · May 5th, 2012, 01:42 PM

Since this is a pretty good info thread, and the links are dead and gone, it does need to be refreshed with the increased desire of folks wanting to boost.
This might be a winner, although someone else needs to clarify.

$150 and direct drop in. I've been using it for a cpl months now with no problems. I'm stock right now, but this is an upgrade for the EVOX so it'll be able to handle what ever injectors we want to put in. I'll be using WRX 440's

Walbro is a good pump, but not direct drop in you have to cut up your pump housing in order to use. It was the only option before, but now with the DW 65C you get the flow you need without losing you internal regulator.

Animefreak1983 · May 7th, 2012, 08:27 AM

I got my evo x pump for $50 via ebay.

OceanStateTuning · May 8th, 2012, 04:40 PM

Wow, old thread, EvoX pump is a direct fit, most new cars run this style smaller pump, Civic Si's and such. Do with the Deatchwerks, it fits, it works and it will save lots of swear words when trying to install a Walbro.
