fuel pump question
I'm buying a 1990 Civic Dx Hatch. DPFI, D15, 4 speed stick. Its a piece.
The fuel pump wouldnt turn on, so i replaced the main relay. Now the pump is turning on, but the car wont start unless i prime the fuel pump 6-7 times. And when it does start, is idles super rough, then dies. I'm thinking that the pump is going out. I'm thinking about buying a new fuel pump, the options are-
OEM Honda pump
Walboro 195
Walboro 255
Walboro 255HP
I'm thinking about swapping a boosted LS into it after this motor gives somewhere down the line. Would it be worth it to just run a 255 with the stock motor, just in case i do boost it? Would the high pressure version be worth the extra $10? Would it be safe to run on a stock motor?
Thanks.

how often have you ever seen these fpr's fail. i have never seen it on a honda in all the years i have been working on hondas. i would bet on a weak fuel pump, or a hole in one of the fuel lines somewhere or also a shitty fuel filter. i have had a shitty fuel filter on one of my crx's keep it from running
