the stock FP will NOT provide enough fuel for the swap.

If you are too broke for a $90 fuel pump, you are too too broke for a swap.

you cant do something as big as a swap, and then cheap out on a fuel pump that costs 100bucks.

Lets try this another way. The stock fuel pump will not deliver enough fuel to the engine under all conditions, particularly more than stock boost. When any of these conditions occurs, you run the risk of running lean and blowing your engine. Now really, can you afford not to get a fuel pump?

Now really, can you afford not to get a fuel pump? well i just bought one off ebay today so guys don't worry no more. I bought a walbro 255 fuel pump. So is it hard to install the fuel pump? I might just bring it to the shop (where my engine is at now) and tell them to install too. |
