Fuel pump kit?
Hey guys so im getting a Walbro 255 fuel pump and i was wondering if i should get the kit or not, can someone tell me what comes in the kit and if its worth the extra 20 bucks. and is it safe to install it without a reflash or fuel managment?
Thanks
Thanks
Get the kit as it comes with a rubber spacer. The Walbro pump is about 1/8" shorter than the stock pump. The spacer keeps the pump properly seated and assures that all fuel pumped is delivered into the fuel line. You'll get a new filter sock as well.
I installed my pump w/o the spacer and had fuel delivery problems. So, I had to fabricate the spacer.

trust me, get the kit. it will come with the new plastic spacer as stated by sparky aswell as a new fuel filter. i have a 03 evo8 with only 40,000 miles and it was dirty, and i only run 93 oct sunoco gas. after you get the kit, www.evomoto.com has a perfect install guide
no kit needed. i have installed a number of fuel pumps in evo's other than mine. never bought the kit and never had problems with installing it without the kit. i know for a fact that you dont need a spacer for the fuel pump to operate "properly"
