None of the install kits are for Supra & the pumps all come with a kit for a specific car as well. Not that you couldn't make your own kit (attach the wires and make a bracket) for about $1.50 yourself
Most people go for Walbro 255Lp/h & I've not heard any problems with that brand so that's all I'd recommend tbh...

I've never heard of DeatschWerks either, sounds like a Chinese mis-spelling of Deutsch Werks which just means "German Factory" or more literally "German Plants"!!! as if to imply quality. I'd avoid like a dark Oakland alley on a rainy Friday night!

i guess when i posted the link it didnt care that i had my vehicle already set. you gotta pick your vehicle (87 supra) to look at the fuel pumps.
the reason i say this is because i had no idea what you were talking about, deatsch wirks, haha
i looked at those and got tired of trying to find the one for the supra.

if you went back to the page and selected the 87 supra base model then you will know exactly what i was talking about.

the fuel pump is walbro GSS341 255/lph for 86-92 supra. and the kit walbro 400-760 fuel pump kit for 86-92 supra.

i personally like walbro, theyre strong, durable and dont hurt the pocket when it comes to performance pumps. i just want to get an opinion and make sure i dont buy the wrong fuel pump for the car.

Ohhh right, yea the link just took me to a page of $90 pumps called DeatschWerks & when I tried to select supra & find a better one for your car the page hung up so I didn't bother!

You won't go far wrong with the old Walbro, in fact I'm not aware of anyone who hasn't either got stock or Walbro 255

EDIT-: Hahaha, the Walbro are even cheaper than them Kraut Flower ones
Yeah they would likely not come with the fitting kit then, but guess you could email them & ask... Personally I'd wire it in & make my own bracket with some steel strip & a slice of 15mm closed cell foam similar to some kneeler pads...

[ochowdero]

haha yeah there good ones.
id have to pull the old fuel pump and take a look and see what i have to do.
the pump should slide inside the mount, the wires come out the top and wiring in like the original pump? or am i mistaken?

A word of warning about Walbro fuel pump... They're notorious for counterfeiting. The big problem is that the knock offs are TERRIBLE, engine killing terrible. Make sure the company you buy from is reputable and an authorized dealer.

I know a number of people running Bosch 040 (I think it's the 040 model) and MKIV TT fuel pumps too. Perhaps all in equal numbers. The Walbro are too loud for my tastes.

[MA70-3.0GT]

cre, would you say the site in ochowdero's link would be a risk for knock-off walbro's? The 255 was $75 IIRC compared to german plant @ $90odd

They don't look very like Walbro to me!

[cre]

The knock offs look exactly like the Walbro... all the way down to the name stamped on the body. I don't know this vendor so I couldn't say. I will say that fueling is one thing where it's absolutely not worth saving $40 by going to an unknown shop or ebay seller. This stuff happens all the time, the big deal here was that a lot of them were tested and found to flow half that of what was claimed and have very high failure rates. There are also knock off Bosch and RC injectors which have been popping up here and there but they're not nearly as common as the knock off Walbro pumps. Remember, there's nothing that's going to kill your engine faster than a fuel shortage.... well short of completely draining the oil and hitting the track.

thanks cre and MA70.. you both just saved me. well gave me a huge tip.
i read somewhere recently about the counterfeit Walbros. im not sure this particular sight is one of the vendors that knock off them, because my buddy bought it from there and tested it and flowed dam near to 255/lph
ive also seen this site be recommended to buy from there. but thanks to you guys i am leery to buy from there.

too loud? haha cre, in your opinion, i am curious as to what fuel pump youll get.
im doing HARD research on everything i get for my build because, well its my first "real" build and not a customers vehicle.
i did look at acouple. but i never heard of them. IIRC 'AirTex' and 'Precision'
they both claim upwards of 255, 260, and one of them i think 300/lph. for 90 bucks.

Well strange thing is, last night I looked up a few sites & couldn't find reference to a "Walbro GSS315" model anywhere, even their own site! (GSS341 was a part number though for a 240lph pump IIRC) just out of interest I emailed a Walbro rep (got an address direct from Walbro site) giving him the link to that site & asking if they're a genuine seller. Asked him to contact me back & confirm if they are or not
