i just picked up an OEM supra TT pump (not a walbro) . anyone here have one installed in their car? its huge, im worried it wont fit right.

OEM supra pump VS OEM celica pump

I thought oem was walbro. keeps us updated lagos

walbro are the pumps eveyone upgrades to. my walbro started running very loud, and im afraid that it might fail. thats why i want to swap this quiet oem pump in.

I dont think it'll fail, its just loud. They're called Whinebro, its just how they are.

i hope you are right, but im going to change mine out this week just because the sound is driving me crazy.

Art, I am fairly certain I have seen posts of people running the OEM unit on 6gc's. But, after searching, I couldn't locate the posts. BTW, the size looks like it would fit fairly easily in the stock location on my vert. I don't know if its different from the hatch.

im just worried about how it would fit into the bracket, and if i can get the plastic holder around it so that my fuel gauge works. ill try it out this frday and see how it goes.

also, when people say "supra pump" i think they mean the walbro most of the time.

here is a cool chart that compares how all the different pumps flow (thanks manny!)

i swaped in the supra pump. its a big boy, but it fits and runs nice and quiet.

i think i figured out why my pump was making so much noise too! when installing it, i crimped the connectors and wraped everything in electrical tape.....NEVER DO THAT! the tape started it melt and my walbro filter was getting nice and black. so im guessing on a hot day, the tape and glue on it was blocking up the filter causing the pump to run louder. crazy ****!.... i took some pics and will post them soon

this time around i soldered the connections and used heat shrink tubing on everything. i also used locknuts on the pumps terminals so that they could never get loose.

Art, are you running the OEM regulator?

yes the FPR is stock

ok...from left to right... OEM 5sfe pump, Walbro 255 pump, SupraOEM pump



now take a look at the filters....on the left is my 6month old walbo filter...on the right is my 7year old OEM 5sfe filter.... notice all the black crap from the electrical tape!

Good stuff. I am glad it fit. I ordered one of the OEM supra parts myself a few months back but cancelled the order to concentrate on other things. I am going to get one soon with some other goodies >>

what pump are you using now?

what are the prices on the oem supra pump and the walbro supra pump?

i got my supra one from toyota for 200$ . the walbro was 100$.

i got to say, im really loving this supra one. it flows like a walbro, but is super quiet.
