Fuel Pump?

[twlplague]

I dont remember where. buy i read somewhere that the most restrictive part ( for the fuel system) on an Integra LS is the fuel pump....is this true?

what is the size of the fuel pump? how much LPH or w/e

I believe the stock B18b fuel pump flows justover 21 GPH. I think its actually like 21.1 or so. This isn't going to be a restriction on a car with just bolt-ons. An upgrade would definitely help on a built N/A setup or boosted car though

ya i wanna upgrade my fuel after i get my exhaust but i didnt know where to start.
figured the pump might be a good place

 

[dc2GS-R]

What all do you have done to your car?

 

[twlplague]

not much to the engine
just intake, new ngk plugs

also have skunk2 springs, KYB AGX's,

rims and tires also

Personally, I would work on getting a high flow cat and header before worrying about a fuel pump

 

[twlplague]

ya im gonna be getting the exhaust with the high flow cat...no header cause its gonna be goin turbo.

im also going to extrude my intake manifold soon.

 

[dc2GS-R]

Well if you're going turbo then you will definitely need a high volume fuel pump. Your car will run disgustingly rich though with just intake and exhaustwith a high flow fuel pump

ya i figured it would be a good idea to ask hehe.

so what would be a good fuel upgrade for the time being

something that will also be good in the future ( for the turbo)

 

[dc2GS-R]

I wouldn't mess with it until you go boost. You will need injectors, pressure regulator and a new pump atleast when you go boost, but those will hurt you at this stage.

 

[twlplague]

ok tight.... ill stick to air flow for now, mabey pulleys....idk anyideas????

 

[dc2GS-R]

If you are just looking for things to do until boost you could start saving for a good tuning system. Or start upgrading your ignition system to get a good spark under boost. Also consider that an exhaust designed for an N/A setup is not going to be ideal for a turbo. Most exhausts are 2.25"-2.38". I would atleast get a 2.5" if your actually going to boost it

 

[twlplague]

ya the exhaust im gettin is 2.5"
i would be boosted awhile ago but two speeding tickets bothe within the same 3 months TOOK ALL MY MONEY!!!!!
hahah mabey it would be better for me to invest in a radar detector

GOT IT! But the hard wired are real nice on DSM's (the plug in by the shifter lets you EASLY hit the mute button driving. Oh and might I recomend the Blinder M40 Lazer Jammer (saved my ass more than the detector)
