Opinions on Walboro Fuel Pump in SR20 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Have people generally had good experience using the Walboro fuel pump in a S14 SR20DET? Is this pump a direct fit? Any comments welcome.

The pump is made for the chassis, not the motor.  You have to get either a s13 or s14 pump, depending on your car year.  Also, Walbro is a great pump.

Walbro doesnt currently make a "kit" for the S14 (different gas tank shape)  but ftfmotorsports was piecing together a kit (all from walbro stock stuff) that fits the S14 correctly.  thats the kit I have in my car.  fit great easy hookup etc. etc.  highly recommended.

Well, I guess basically what it comes down to is this. I read you need to replace your Fuel Pump when doing the SR20 swap so I have been trying to find one and was under the impression that the Walboro pump from http://www.sr20detperformance.com/ would do the job instead of buying the really expensive Skyline fuel pump from http://www.phase2motortrend.com/fuelsystem.html. Can someone please help me understand this? I guess I thought I was just needing to replace the in-tank pump but maybe there is something different I need to do?

well its a really good Idea to go ahead and do it when yu do the  swap.  its essential to upgrade (either to the 300zx or the walbro or the skyline) before you turn up the boost.  yes its just the intank pump your replacing.  the "kit" im referring too is the pump and pick-up sock.  the S13 sock faces the wrong way to be 100% in the S14 chassis.  if you have an S14 get the kit from FTFmotorsports.  they have both kits at great prices (or they did when I ordered mine).  does that make more sense?
