E-bay and I think the walbro 190 is good for about 400hp but is a bit louder than the 255 which will be good up to 600hp. I say grab the 255 cause it is quieter and only like $15-$20 more.

True for Ebay..

But for the noise quote, I heard the contrary.. the 255 is louder, which make sense, as it pushes more juice into the engine..

Well think of it this way. Say you are pumping the same out of each pump. Obviously the 190 will be working harder than the 255 which accounts for more noise. :p

And yes there is no differences in pumps but the kits are.

yes there is differents in pumps and yes the 255 is louder then the 190 and the idea that the 190 is louder because it has to work more would only work if you was running at max and there is no way you would ever need that much fuel, the 190 at max would empty your gas tank in minutes. 190L/hr on a 50L tank.

The little rubber shock absorber on the bottom is diffrent, but you'll need to dremmel the bracket anyway so it really dosent matter what year you got. I have the 88-93 RX-7 pump and all that was needed was 2 tiny cuts.

Well... That is WAAAYYYYYY overkill for what I need. I think the 225 will be just fine.

Well the option I had from BLT was one that can hold 400hp or 1,200hp and it was a difference of about $10 so, why not?
