Hpfp upgrade

[LOBA SI]

Very obversely has no idea of a the engineering involved to produce or test a uprated HPFP or even just make internals.... to make such a statement is funny

^^^^ The information about the product on this page linked above is what would give me confidence in choosing which HPFP to choose.

Why Loba appear to be so secretive about the design of what they are offering doesn't inspire my confidence. All I have to go on is Loba's relatively good reputation.

I see this thread as a How not to market my HPFP so far.

....Unfortunately (and I mean that sincerely), I agree.

I'm doing my utmost to be objective here and am genuinely interested in what makes the Loba HPFP as great as Loba are claiming. I want it to be a great pump and not just a great bargain to buy.

In reality i think there is little difference between the APR/LOBA/Autotech....

You pay your money you takes your choice... they all do the same thing.

I think where the APR pump comes into its own is its used on many 2.0TFSI race cars around the world such as the Seat Sport and dunlop rqacing series or the 24hr golf Race cars in the states.  So its a proven entity in the harshest condition for an engine and i guess you pay for that reassurance on quality and performance.

The Autotech internals havent had any of that, and overtime have proven to fail on many cars after 30-60k.

Most probably being fitted to an old pump...

Theres no denying that Sy.

We are working with a UK race engine builder and the Loba hpfp's are going in a few BTCC cars this year.

Also our 2.5 Hpfp are being used in the Pirelli world challenge this year.

Read from page 1 .... too much negativeness on here i feel.  But i did laugh at this!  

895 for the LOBA.... I'm sure those guys smoke crack all day long. LOL

Ill leave you guys to debate. Im out  

[rich83]

So they were €895.... now €575.... so €320 euros discount?

So I can only conclude that they were overpriced at €895.... hence the crack smoking comment.

....Tut-tut! No debate was going on at all - Just polite and genuine questions asking for more information about the Loba HPFP itself rather than how much it costs.

I can only conclude that Loba's representatives need to fine tune and polish up their communication skills if they want to encourage sales of their products to car forum members - A not insignificant market, I would point out.

If I was considering which aftermarket HPFP to buy at this time, I would be extremely disappointed in not being able to learn more information from one (Loba) of only three HPFP producers for my car's platform.

I've just read from the start so now I see where the crack smoking comment comes from.

Ideally if you are looking to win some friends you would be telling us why these Loba pumps are so good. So far I know nothing about why they are an improvement and what they bring to the party.

I'm out, got some class A to burn.  .
