Uprated Fuel Pump - please advise.

[Paul_JJ]

I need an uprated fuel pump, however Walbro seem to have loads of issues under load these days and is not recommended by many tuners - can anyone confirm?

RCM is what people highly recommend, the price is rather too high.

Has anyone heard of Import Car Parts (ICP) fuel pump as they claim it to be the same as RCM just with a different label?

I'm currently on 250 bhp stock on my car, but plan to run may be up to 300, as don't really want to push the engine hard.

never heard of that brand...but then i'm not really in the know with fuel pumps

i run a celica gt4 fuel pump i bought from my local toyota dealer...it was a direct fit and importantly to me it flows well and was quiet
i figured if it can power a 3sgte,,,it can power a starlet...had it about 7-8 years now

Some good info there I would add this technical info on the 3sgte pump which shows at what boost bigger injectors start exceeding the pump flow and allows for fpr return flow too.

RCM pump has been recommended on the Subaru forum as one of the best pumps for Subaru Impreza/Forester with direct fitment - http://rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/store/product/24-rcm-uprated-fuel-pump-1992-2008

I have no intention of pushing over 300 bhp, even though the engine can handle about 350-400 in stock, but the Auto gearbox might not like so much power.
