b3atboxjr Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 just about every post on stage zero says which parts should be replaced, and some even give info on what sites you might find them, however nobody ever says which brands to look at, what worked well for them... yada yada.i'm currently looking at O2 sensors and there are quite a few brands (bosch, sng...). there are also some universal ones that come with different amounts of wires (2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire: i'd imagine i'd get the 4-wire as there are 4 wires that go to my O2 sensors, but which are which?)i have the same problem with fuel pumps, i see a hella pump for $126 and a bosch for $278. what the heck is the difference?what have people tried? thoughts?

WhiteT5 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 i can't ever tell if you're being sarcastic or not.Hehe, in this case, no. Walbro pump can be fitted into the stock plastic fuel pump housing pretty easily and they're dirt cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b3atboxjr Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 yah, i will be needing the parts, but thus far i've only got like, one person's opinion on brands or what they have. hence im sort of undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
