MSD external pump any good?

[1DangerousV6]

hey everyone...i was wondering what your thoughts are on the MSD electric external fuel pump?...it says it handles up to 500 horses and sells for $76 on summitracing.com...thanks!

[Teufel Hunden]

Yeah. It's good.

sweet...i know that one and the walbro one both handle about 500 horses...just the MSD one is less expensive...im thinking of going with the MSD for when i put on my 9 lb. pulley and BOV ...after i fix my damn cylinders of course

I would go with a intank, walbro 255 high pressure

ssms ...why do you recommend an intank instead of external?

[Teufel Hunden]

Having one high pressure pump controlled by the computer (intank) is better than having a high pressure pump operating independently (booster). The only advantage with a booster is you don't have to cut the fuel pump access door OR drop your tank if you don't want to cut. I have a Walbro 255 in my car, and i love it. MSD is a good choice if you're dead set on getting a booster, but otherwise, intank is the way to go.

I have had both. The MSD pump with the stock intake pump worked fine when I had it with my 6:1 fmu. The MSD pump and the walbro was overkill though. Now all I run is the fmu and the walbro.

dude, for the 90$ get the walbro.. in tank is much better.

remember the MSD is feeding off the stocker.

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

I would go with the walbro as well..

inline pumps are "OK" however.. if your intake pump fails the inline pump wont be ennough to support your fuel demands.. typically inline pumps are ment to be gravity fed.. the cannot suck the fuel out of the tank.. that is what you intake pump is for..

so when the intank fails.. you will only see 10-15 psi for fuel.. at best.. BYE BYE MOTOR!!

if you still have a stocker intank you shuld replace it.. thats the bottom line..

hey Mike...where do you get the walbro for $90?? [img]smile.gif[/img]

[T-Punk]

ebay! :D

[Teufel Hunden]

EBay rules. If you can't find one there, ZZPerformance sells them for fairly cheap... only thing is, they're not willing to work with you if you have a problem with it.

[1DangerousV6]

nice...i wanna get one soon because i think my 9 lb. pulley is being shipped out today

t-punk ...when you get that twin turbo setup done...you're gonna smoke us all! haha
