Title: fuel pump suggestion
Post by: l4u5k4e on July 15, 2009, 03:58:52 AM

hi, i need a bigger fuel pump for my e36, can any one suggest a bosch or walbro pump that will fit? i was going to get a bosch 044 pump but not sure if it will fit, has anyone upgraded this before?
ps. i have been told walbros are smaller in size, will it fit in better than a bosch?
thanks

Hi-If I may ask, for what reason are you trying to upgrade your fuel pump?, because you may have to upgrade not just the pump depending on your set-up.

OOOOOOHHHH!!!! I see that you're not playing around--$$$$ the only thing I could tell you is to call or email these guy's with your exact questions, because with that type of set-up you want to be sure that your money will be spent wisely.

This brand new, GENUINE WALBRO 255LPH High Pressure External In-line fuel pump can support over 500hp (at the crank) when supplied with 13.5V!
