i am building a turbo setup for my 00 civic dx. the motor is completely stock right now, aside from an exhaust system. i have bought a walbro 255 lph fuel pump for the turbo, and i need to know if i can install it on the stock civic before the turbo goes into the car. if i do, will the car run the same as it did before? will i lose gas milage?

thanks,

you might run a little richer but you can install it and drive your car. i doubt you'll notice any difference in gas milage. i ran 450 injectors and a walboro 255 for a day
til i got my turbo installed.

 

i had the same question about 2 days ago.. and the popular opinion was that i would be running find if i had only installed the fuel pump with no other turbo mods

 

Yes you can put the fuel pump in before, you probably wont notice any difference.

 

hey jeff...i knew a girl that looked like you avatar in elementary school....wow was that scary....

 

It's the fuel pressure regulator that controls the fuel pressure, not the pump . So If your're fuel return line is big enough you will have the exact same amount of fuel delivered to the injectors.
