They are great in a 200sx (or pretty much any other Jap motor).

Basically I'm looking into upgrading the fuel pump on my Escort Cosworth due to fuelling issues and wanting to upgrade the chip.

I came across these on ebay and was wondering if anyone has used them compared to the Bosch ones I've seen for sale.

Work ok up to about 370 bhp we found and from there start running out of fuel. Very boost related though, so would do 500bhp on your average NASP for example.

We have a 200SX here making 500bhp on one.

OK, so we are now changing it for something else, but it's been OK up to now.
