After a Walbro 255, Walbro 260 or Walbro 525 Fuel Pump?
Upgrade your fuel system with the genuine Walbro Performance Fuel Pump range, now available through Lowe Fabrications. Whether you’re converting to EFI, building a tough LS swap, running a mild turbo setup, or chasing serious numbers on E85, Walbro pumps are the proven choice for reliable, high-flow fuel delivery.
We stock the three most trusted and widely used Walbro pumps:
Walbro 255 LPH (GSS342) – the perfect street and EFI conversion pump

Chubby Says — Lowe Life Expert Advice
“Buy for the build you’re headed toward, not the build you have right now.”
Most people outgrow the 255 quickly. If you’re even thinking about E85 or boost, start with the 450.
“Voltage is everything.”
A 525 pump with factory wiring is a waste of money. Feed the pump properly and it’ll feed your engine properly.
“Pair the pump with proper hardware.”
Our Australian-made fuel cells and billet triple pump hangers are built to support these pumps properly — especially the 450 & 525.
