AFAIK... same as the APR, i.e. OEM pump with installed internals.

:drinking: Thats under £500 inc vat


....As you are a Loba representative, how about giving us some detailed info about how your HPFP differs from its rivals, and especially the APR......  Please  :smiley:

Hi

First off i don't want any APR hassle :fighting:  So not going to get into LOBA vs APR, its very clear there product is one of the better solutions.

Our Pump was tested for maybe a year or so on track and road and in the lab/cell to stimulate all conditions at OEM specifications, so we are confident in there ability to perform and last.  Durability was a very important factor and we have engineered for this.

Each component part is hand inspected and tested to be in spec before assembled by a engineer, must be noted also that the Loba components have a tolerance far greater than OEM internals and others.

We are not willing to share detailed info as we don't want to teach our competitors sorry, but we very much did our homework.

....Thank You for your reply. My question was definitely not wanting to start any Loba vs APR "hassle" but was a genuine query regarding mechanical/design differences in the same way that the mechanical differences are now known and discussed with the APR and Autotech pumps.

The question is asked from the point of view of hoping to inform any member here to help them make a choice if they are considering buying an aftermarket pump.

The details of your HPFP's construction and design will doubtless become known in due course whether you wish that or not.

Maybe so but not here and now by me, i feel over time all will see our solution is a good option.

I'm interested in one of these from Loba but I also have the money available to buy the APR one.

Other than price, can you tell me why I should buy the Loba pump over the APR pump? Obviously I don't mean to sound like I'm after an argument, I just can't see anyone taking such a huge risk just to save £300 or so without having the relevant info needed to make an educated decision on which to buy.

I am genuinely interested in one but wouldn't buy one without knowledge or personal reviews off a few people.

Well many sold at 895 euro, we actually sold out so many do trust.  Only reason we have reduced the price is due to demand and so making bigger batch volume, that in turn has lowered costs and the end user benefits.

Please note, we make and rebrand parts for many major tuning houses that we are not allowed to share, so many parts out there! Made by Loba just not known..

I think I would want to know whether it's LOBA internals chucked into an oem pump and then marketed as a LOBA pump, or it's gone through the same precision engineering as the APR unit...

The APR pump is still on OEM Hitachi pump.

Yeah but it's totally reworked... and don't think they hide the fact, i'm sure it still says it on it, would have to check though..
