hey peoples .
just dropped in a 16v in my ae86 I'm a lil confused , do i need 2 run a lift pump like i hear some people talkin about cause i was under the impression that i just run a external fuel pump like a vl pump or something .
do i need 2 open up the tank and put in anything in there?
i also have a intake walbro pump thats laying around , can i use that as my lift pump and it will work any advice or links would be good peoples
thanks in advance

You dont have to run a pre-pump (aka lift pump), but generally its louder and you suck more air when you run an external only (sucking air tends to shorten the life of pump).

If you don't care about noise, just run the vl pump. I did, but im sick of noise so changing to jdm tank/intank pump.

Anyway its been covered before, more so in the last couple of weeks a lot :/
