Youll be pushing it to the **** on stock wiring with the stock pump

I seen a guy toss in an evo8 pump cause there pretty cheap almost new when the evo guys swap em out, maybe $30

Or you can set yourself just fine for 500whp and grab a 255lph xenocron pump for like 80 bucks

I used a evo 8 fuel pump and it was great. I wouldent push it. Why bother. They are so cheap! Your ---- deserves to blow up if you dont upgrade.

Its just a bit longer. Basically the same ---- though. If you have ever replaced one its pretty much the same ---- in all honesty.

Bro its almost exactly the same ----. Anything that you would get from a regular honda fuel pump you want with the evo pump. Dont over think it. You will see what I mean if and when you get one.
