All s12's have the same pump I'm pretty sure.

There is a bunch of guys with sale threads. I'm sure even shipped you can get a used one for less then $60 bucks.

Don't go with a used or even a new stock pump, for cheap you can upgrade to a Walbro 190 liter-per-hour unit. It's powerful enough to give you reliable fuel beyond stock boost, but not too much, so you shouldn't need to change your fuel pressure regulator:

And while you're at it, do the rewire to make sure it has a stronger voltage:

or

It's gonna be he same basic procedure for the S12 as it is for the S13

Do NOT use the 255 lph pump! It will overrun your stock fuel pressure regulator, and you do NOT need anywhere near that much fuel. Plenty of guys have tuned up to 250-275hp on the 190 lph unit.

I second Arro, the Walbro 190 is perfect and budget friendly. Used one and fuel cell on my second SE was a$$ ton cheaper plus more reliable than used, and easier to service/install

Walbro 190 no doubt.
And it will take you well beyond stock boost with those stock 370cc injectors.
WELL past stock boost.

Once you get to 400cc injectors though. Then you'll be maxing it out

looks like it's only 90 bux from that one link I posted, too. Pump and rewire materials should be well within your 200 bux.
