Fuel Pump

Does anyone make a higher volume fuel pump for Maximas? I was just wondering because I'll proably have to do mine soon and would like to find out if there is a high volume one?

there are walbro kits available for our cars. if you aren't planning on pulling a lot of power out of your car in the future i'd just get a 190 lph walbro. that would do just fine. those probably cost less than 100 dollars all over the internet.

If i put the 190 lph pump on will i notice any diffrence on a NA engine? I'm guessing that anything over 190 would be overkill on a NA engine. Just out of curiosity what is the stock fuel pump output?

Sorry to hijack your post, but mine died at my GF's Grandmothers today. I'd get a Walboro, but I need a pump now. So I have to take an hour roadtrip to get a pump in the morning($180), and hope nothing else f**ks up! That's all. Cheers.

If you cant supply your engine with more air, then adding more fuel is just going to make your car run rich. This will burn up your cat, and make your car run slower. And no, a CAI is not adding enough air to require a new fuel pump. Turbo or nitrous is when you need a higher volume pump.

the stock pump should be around 190 but i'm not positive. you actually shouldn't be able to make your car run any more rich with a more powerful fuel pump without either increasing the fuel pressure by getting an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator or you'd have to make the injectors fire more fuel into the engine.

Where can I find one of these walbro fuel pumps? I believe the fuel pump on my car is gone and all the replacement pumps Ive found are like 200 bucks and I really can't afford that. Someone share the wealth
