Installing fuel pump

Where exactly am I going to replace this? The car is pretty well apart with no seats. Is it in the trunk?

I have been looking for an install guide but so far haven't seen much.

Thanks

Main Index>fuel>fuel pump install There's a little metal cover under the trunk carpet that you unscrew and there's the sending unit then you just follow the instructions.

 

Hey that link is dead...I was looking around here and found a dead link too.

Do you have any others?

Thanks for giving me a rough location on it though, I do appreciate it.

Its in the trung on the drivers side. Take out the floor carpet and theres a lack metal cover. Unscrew it and voila! to install, follow the link /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think 2g fuel pumps work better than 1g pumps... search to be sure.

 

I have heard this too and searched it to death. This is the conclusion that I am coming to as well!

The 1G fuel pump design has the ports on opposite ends, that's why a 2G/Evo fits, they share the same design as us.

 

Pretty clear....So if I am getting one for a 2g there are still minor differences aren't there?

Also, do I need an install kit or just the pump?

Thanks

 

Well I found this...

I have the 1g Walboro 255 in mine and it required NO modification to fit, save a screw that was corroded and replaced.

 

my car used to be e85(might be again) so it has two 3kgt fuel pumps in tank. what a b*tch to install.

 

Quoting 524of1000:

Was it a 1g awd or fwd pump though? My research is showing that a 1g fwd pump is the same as a 2g awd pump.

 

The 1G FWD is different than the AWD, but it is a different Walbro install kit number than the 2G or GVR-4 for some reason. The 1G AWD pump is the oddball though, which feeds from the opposite side. The Walbro install kit numbers are:
1G AWD - 400-857
1G FWD - 400-883
2G - 400-847
I *think* the GVR-4 also uses kit #400-847

 

I think the GVR4 might use 400-857 for the kit. Thanks for all of the part numbers.

There really is alot of confusion on this. I'd rather be confused here than when I am doing the pump though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't remember. Good Question.

 

I bit the bullet and ordered the 190 lph 2g pump and the 1g harness. Hopefully I'll remember to come back and report what actually happened when I get around to the install!

Thanks!

Does anybody actually know what pump works? Because I have the opportunity to buy a 255 for $50 brand new, but it's for a 2g. Just wondering if it will work.

I'd try searching for "GSS". I've discussed this in a few threads, but I believe the 2g pump is actually correct for the vr4. The 1g pump is not. Hopefully someone can confirm this. I know I uploaded a pic of the two at one time showing the difference and how the 2g one was the same as the VR4.
Look here too.
