Well Its time to replace my tired stock fuel pump with an aftermaket one. Where have you guys bought your Walbro fuel pumps from? I really want a genuine Walbro and don't want to risk buying a fake. Also what mods are neccesary for the Walbro intall? I heard something about the J tube mod? is it cnessary, and what does is consist of? And about the 12V mod, but is the 12v mod really necessary? And what other mods do I have to do for the Walbro 255lph pump? My supra is currently BPU, stock fuel system though.

Also, I was looking at few threads and some members on here seem to not like the Walbro Fuel pumps and they prefer MK4 pumps or a Denso and even Bosch fuel pumps. Also will I be okay without the 12V mod>? What are the prices of a 255 LPH Denso pump? Or a stock mk4 pump? Thanks guys.:biglaugh:

As far as what you should use.. I think you are going to get good and bad comments for the pumps you have listed. I have had a Walbro pump in both of my supras and have had no problems. I got both of them from members here. I think one of the guys in the vendors section sells them. Search that section.

Yeah Driftmotion seems to have the best deal on these pump's so far.


A friend of mine has a Walbro 255lph that his Srt-4, alhought he never installed it, and he said he could sell it to me. So does anyone know if the srt-4 Walbro is the compatible with the MK3 Walbro style pump?

I forget who I bought mine from, it was either 935, DM or HPF... in any case:

The j-tube bypass will be needed. The restriction is too small to support the flow of an aftermarket fuel pump(or MKIV TT, etc.) Shaeff has the writeup here.

I had the 12v done while it was open, so... yeah.

drjonez here on the forums sells them too. Watch out on ebay, many of them are fake wallypumps. I believe drjonez sells them through ebay, too, so you could check his auctions.

His are legit, and I'm sure that driftmotion's are also legit.
