hay could anyone tell me if an evo 8 fuel pump work in a base lancer. i have a 02 es.

 

The better question is why?

Unless its free get a walbro 255 its stronger and only costs about 100 bucks.

 

I'm trying to get all the parts needed for a turbo but there was a guy parting out is evo 8 and he was going to sale it for 40 but I was talking to ryancb and he told me that it won't fit.

 

That seems odd but i can't verify for a lancer I had an evo myself and when i put in a walbro i swore they looked the same size physically.

I just want to know if its rumor or has someone tried it.

 

Nope a Evo 8 or 9 pump will not fit , only a evo x fuel pump will drop in . I actually have one if interested . Pm me

 

Huh? A 255 will fit. I had one in mine for about 2 years.

 

Did you have a walbro or a evo's fuel pump

 

I have a 255 also and its fits fine

 

hes talking about the evo not fitting. a 255fits but requires a little work to make it fit.

 

can you let me know what you gotta do cause I tried making it fit but it to long

 

How much.
i tried the Evo 8 255 walbro on my ES LANCER AND IT DIDNT FIT. Little bit longer.

 

you have to do some modifications to the pump mounting bracket, and you can’t run the filter sock on the bottom of the pump, I also had to put an extra O-ring on my fuel pump housing to raise the pump off the bottom of the tank a bit. It’s sketchy but it works
