Not a lot tbh.  Apr have dropped the price which used to be around 650 for a new pump.  Not sure if the loba price is with vat or shipping added on.

Jake, could you see much physical difference between the two pumps?

What fprv do loba recommend to fit?

The piston is a different shape, also the piston tip where it makes contact with the cam follower is different Alex
LOBA recommends the RS4 FPRV

I am a reseller for the HPFP upgrade pumps. Haven't had a chance to import a batch yet but from research and speaking with the director they are pretty impressive and as good as the competition pumps but yet at a chunk lower of a price. The main difference is an upgraded seal compared to the likes of the APR pump, I'm sure the internal designs are similar to the APR and LOBA. Last time I asked he had sold a couple hundred of them with no failures as of yet which is positive!

P.S danishmkvgti that is an awesome sig pic!

Sent from my iPhone

Have done a bit of number crunching for the duty and vat charges coming from the US including postage etc. Normal price is around £680 imported (for a stage 1 pump), I think I can retail them for around £575ish including VAT but would have to buy 5 of them at least, not too much of an issue as I want one on mine anyway  :grin: They also sell upgraded rail valves that can be set to 135, 145 or 155 bar.

They do offer a stage 2 pump which is recommended for big turbo engines, wouldn't imagine it's needed under 400bhp

Is there a part number for the new seals?

They upgrade their pumps with a custom seal, not OEM. It's another secondary seal that stop the oil mixing with the fuel, apparently it's a patented design so other fuel pumps can't use it.

It would, if anyone made updated seals... but they don't so you can't.

A rebuild pump does that mean you take my old one?
I've bought a new pump but it has the top sensor missing so that's why I was looking at an upgrade only.
If I could use the new pump without the top sensor as the rebuild pump I'd stick with the APR to compliment my already fantastic APR software.

Yes Kev, they'd need your old pump for the lower price. I doubt they would accept an incomplete pump as an exchange but Keith will confirm that.

Go APR!!!
