Fuel pump, for n/a Options

[jayi12-15psi]

I've been searching around for about the last half hour and it seems that there has been some confusion when it comes to the proper fuel pump to install. It also seems like people hate their walbro because of the noise they make. So I have a few questions, maybe you guys could help me clear some things up.

I have a stock 5s-fe and I plan to someday swap the 3s... someday (sigh)

I was wondering if it's ok to use the 255lph fuel pump on a stock 5s, it seems mine might be going out. Lately I've been having a hard time starting then engine, at first it won't start then it struggles and for a minute it runs at a very low rpm(around 250-500). It seems like I'm having to build up fuel pressure before the engine will operate correctly.

I read that lagos was using the oem supra fuel pump(was it the TT version?) but the walbro ones are going for $100 shipped off of ebay. If the noise is too obnoxious, I might just go for an oem supra fuel pump. I think lagos said in another thread that he payed $200 for his. Does anyone have an audio clip of the sound of the fuel pump? I'm not opposed to noise unless it makes me cringe/go deaf.

So, in short,

-does this sound like I need a new fuel pump
-which walbro works? (the supra 86-92 turbo or 93-98 turbo?)
-will I be pissed about the noise?

i have my stock fuel pump with only around 50,000 miles on it that i could sell to you for pretty cheap . PM me if u want it.

the walbro or oem supra pump would be total overkill for your car right now.

a lot of people report mixed reviews of the walbros noise. some dont mind it, some say it drives them crazy. a lot of it will have to do with, how you install it, if you just happen to get a pump thats louder, and how loud your exhaust is to cover up the sound.

the best way i can describe the sound is... eeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well, I know it's overkill now, but is it ok to run this fuel pump? I do plan on dropping a 3s, Id rather just get a upgraded fuel pump now so I won't have to get another one later?

How much do you want for your pump?

yup that is what it sounds like. If you have the stereo on all the time at mid-volume you would not notice it.

why not chane the pump to a OEM supra fuel pump?

[jayi12-15psi]

because new from the dealer, the oem tt supra pump is $200 and the walbro is $100. I'm trying to figure if the noise is worth spending another $100.

Its pretty loud, but if you're seriously considering swappin in a 3s at some point, and you dont mind listening to your radio at medium volume then just get the walbro. It wont cause any harm for your car to run it if thats what you are asking?
