Loba hpfp ???

Post by Trishen94 »

Hi guys so im in the process of purchasing the autotech hpfp internals for my s3 8p this weekend . But... Whilst doing some quick research i seen that apr and loba sell complete pumps .from reading on the net guys say that the loba is a better product than autotech so was curious what do they cost the apr is out of the question close to 20k i just wanted to find out is there any where in gauteng or even in south Africa that stock these loba pumps or are they only available to import ?
If loba is a better product for a lil more expensive id rather save up a lil more for a better product.
Any1 on here who is using or used it?
what was the outcome?
And where did u get it from ?


Thanks guys :hug:

There are some small differences between the piston designs and coatings between the two but funamentally they are the same. The autotechs are perfectly fine though.

The only pumps that i would consider better are the IE and APR ones. These are non-stepped pistons with a new seal arrangement and dont have the drawbacks that the stepped pistons have.
