Fuel pump upgrade...

[Neinris]

Thanks yet again Adam for sharing all those information and doing most of the research. More specifically about the fuel pressure regulator potential issue. But I don't think that's much of an issue, because with this non return style, the FPR that came along with the pump which is also in the basket. Or if you're going to drop in a different pump motor, ie. from a Corolla, then you should use the Corolla FPR. That should solve that problem.

I want to keep mine non return style, so I don't think I'll be strapping in the 255LPH motor that my cousin has laying around. I'm all about keeping this simple and making it user friendly for everyone.

I watched the MCM turboed Yaris again, and come to find out they kept the stock fuel pump!!! You can start at 13:00

And they pushed their car to 200hp at the wheels, but broke the engine, I don't think from fuel issue, but mechanical, spun rod bearing if I remember correctly.

Some are probably asking, is it really worth going through all this hassle trying to figure out a fuel pump upgrade, when the stock one can handle up to 200hp, and maybe more? Most of us here in this community are not going to see 200hp at the wheels. But there are some out there that wants to push the envelope, and want to see what are the possibilities and other options.

In my opinion, if you want to push the limit of the engine in NA form, and want to upgrade your fuel pump motor, you can go with the 2011 Corolla pump motor and fuel pressure regulator. Apparently the 7th Gen Hilux also uses a similar motor, straight through type. That setup may very well be enough for 250hp, who knows.

The RAV4 route is what I'm probably going to experiment with, just for everyone entertainment.

I don't know if I should buy a used one for now, I see some from eBay for less than $65 USD, and they show what the vehicle that they pulled it from, if in fact they pulled it from that vehicle, I wanted to make sure it's the AWD version. Or, should I get an aftermarket one, that's just as cheap, but I won't know if it's the AWD version, because all it says is the year it work in.

Any thoughts?
