Most Honda pumps will flow enough if you add higher guage wire, i.e. thicker, electric motors are neat like that.

As for the Jeep pump I have no idea on the specs but I wouldn't think that was the weak link. I'd say injectors, even though Honda's can boost on the stock 240's I do not know what kind of injectors are on the jeep, p&h or saturated.

Sounds like you might have a couple things to take care of, a GM 2 bar MAP won't work on your car?

You can't just add a 2 bar map sensor. All MAP sensors have a 0-5 volt range. Just changing the sensor will make it run like crap. Lets say my map shows 2.5 volts at idle, A 2 bar map would show 1.25 volts to the ECM. You need to program the computer for a MAP sensor change.

I realize that, I didn't think about it. For some reason I thought you were running standalone, but then it clicked "FMU duh".

Yea sorry.
