Walbro 255
A few of you know my project over on the build section, but I thought this might get a better response here. I am starting to think about my fuel system, I am going to be tuning for 91 octane and E85. I am going to need some good fuel flow. I am leaning towards a Walbro 255 in tank pump. Has anyone had any experience with this pump? I really don't want a pump that is going to be whining in my ear the entire time I am driving. Any input would be appreciated.

its a great pump. flows a ton and not loud at all.
had great success with them on all my subaru's, and installed a **** ton and a half, each still running great.
Just got a 255HP for the miata, it flows a bit more than the regular 255 from what I understand.
Its said to not be intended for e85, but I know a ton of guys using it with e85 with no ill effects

255HP in my last project. Loved it, had no problems. It was loud, but that was in a hatchback application where the access panel was in the same compartment as my head. It'll be quieter in a Miata. Also, you can do a good bit to reduce the noise by using an isolator sleeve (or two) on them. Pretty great for south of 100 dollars.

I used the begi install kit it came with a new rubber isolator that might help keep it from being loud. The walbro fuel pumps a way quieter than other some other high performance pumps I've heard.
