I was told by my (expert) mechanic Erik Coxe that the stock fuel pump on our Hondas is good for up to 200hp engines. Erik ran the D16Z6 built-up engine (rings, bearings, shaved head, etc.) that's now in my 'Rex with a 70-shot of NOS using the stock fuel pump but added a custom adjustable high-flow regulator & fuel rail. For this reason, I would stick with stock since the other pumps most likely will have mounting problems, then you gotta change the gas tank, deal with possible leaks, etc.

Well, I didn't get an answer to my question the last time I asked it, so I thought I'd try again. Has anyone replaced their fuel pump with one from a GSR or a newer civic? Was there any custom work to be done? Does the car run rich with the higher flow pump, or does it work the way I think, and the fuel injection regulates it to run normally? My fuel pump is rapidly dying, and since I'm going to a B16A, and will go turbo in the future, I figure that the stock fuel pump won't be up to the task when I upgrade the rest of the car. So, rather than replace twice, I just want to get it done right the first try. Any opinions? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
