Fuel pump battle: independent flow testing
Found a really good write up. Real street performance had Bosch, aeromotive, walbro and denso pumps tested at Kinsler. http://realstreetperformance.com/sto...on-test-5.html

The reason I thought it was interesting is because everyone thinks Denso's are soooooo much better but they actually flow worse than Walbro's at high fuel pressure.

Re: Fuel pump battle: independent flow testing
All of those pumps are great, it just depends on what you need and how it will work for you. For example a walbro pump isnt going to work for the guy making 900hp but its perfect for the guy thats at 250hp.

Nothing surprising in the test really. I've said for a long time that the Bosch 044 is a much better pump than the Walbro, but at a higher price. Much higher quality too. Flow ratings aside, the Walbro is just not a good quality part, and I'd much rather use the Denso or Bosch.

I love the performance of the bosch unit, i wonder how hard it will be to switch my in-tank 255 walbro pump to a in-line bosch?

Re: Fuel pump battle: independent flow testing
I'm running a rewired Walbro 255 I'm pretty sure its all I need for anything this car is going to be putting out. Now my next build I'll be going with the Aeromotive 340.....

Pegasus carries a sock adapter and sock filter for the 044 to use it as an in-tank by the way, if that helps any.
