hey i am in the process of installing a turbo kit and i still need to get an upgraded fuel pump, i just wanted to know which pumps are most people running and where could i find one reasonably priced. i am planning to run around 8 lbs of boost
if it can't win a race it better win a show
I hear alot about the walbro (sp?).....
I'm not running it yet, but i'm going to make a how-to on installing the Racetronix fuel pump. (a walbro with custom housing, and it's red)
I have the pump in the sender, just need to put it in the car.
Blazer pump!

Go blazer if your pump is in a J. Go with an 89 turbo firebird pump if your 2.3 is in say a Beretta or Achieva or something.

Walbro 255 in-line, I have a blazer pump that will go in tank to work with the walbro
how much should i expect to spend on a blazer, a racetronic and the walbro, and where can i find them all at
if it can't win a race it better win a show
I also heard good things about the MSD inline
http://msdignition.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/40016/2225 I bought one, but never got a chance to use it when the car got written off.
Don't buy from MANTAPART!!
There is no easy ways to get HP, no magic box or gizmo... And if you get more hp, there's no way to make your car still behave and sound like a stock one. More hp usually makes your car louder, more vibrations and harder to drive...but still people hope or think maby there's some magic way to have it all, comfort, stock sound and drive.
in your opinion do u think getting the msd inline fuel pump would be as good as a blazer or walbro in tank pump. The msd is a lot cheaper in most places that i saw it and it seems pretty universal.

Answer is no, the inline is only there to keep the fuel moving. You will still need the blazer in tank or the walbro in tank.

Sorry to sound like a noob on this, but i have pulled out the whole motor and trans a few times by myself but i have never even went near the fuel pump except to put gas in lol
