Re:Will I need a fuel pump?

oh i thought that it would make your mileage suck. But you bring up a good point. I guess i mine as well do it since its 80 bucks and overall better for the car.
thanks guys

well a mild turbo setup isnt bad on gas mileage much at all man.

a built up n/a motor would be worse imo

Well, it's called driving in the city.
Before I had pretty heavy right foot

.. but now, as accelerates faster... you reach same speed mucho faster and cruise afterwards

Also, if driving when lotsa traffic I can now shift much sooner due to much improved torque.
All in all.. better gas mileage.. Muh happy

civic pumps are good for between 300-400hp at stock fuel pressure. h22 are slightly better. just check the voltage at the pump, you might have to put some better wire in there to get full flow.
