Z died on me :( Fuel pump?

Actually, I might just do this myself. Do you guys recommend Walbro? And is it really necessary to change the pump with 1/8 tank of gas? I have about 2/3 of fuel left in the tank.

Thanks

Unless you are going to do some serious upgrades and a custom tune the walbro is overkill and will require more modifications to the fuel pump assembly just to get your fuel pressure down to normal at idle. I am TT and run the walbro and it flows enough to make almost double the factory horsepower.

I think you're better off with an OEM or OEM equivalent pump. It's a pretty simple DIY though, so I say go for it! =)

Hmmm I placed an order for Walbro this morning. Should I cancel the order? How bad is installing Walbro on a N/A engine? I bought this because it's affordable, easy to install, and had good rating.

If you can cancel I probably would... Doesn't really make sense unless you're planning more upgrades to make any use of it. But if not, you can make it work.. just a little more work. I assume it's the 255lph?
Check out the cj Motorsports site there are some guides... You can also post on his threads here (user phunk) he is the resident fuel system guru for the community and is very helpful.

Interjecting another related question. Should the fuel pump be changed at a certain mileage or just if it dies?
I'm over 119,000 and wonder if I should replace.

Thanks to loiro370z for the instructions.

I probably wouldn't worry about it... playing the what-if game in that way could lead you to replace a ton perfectly functional parts throughout the car.
