I don't see why you couldn't use the walbro. It will still function the same as the stock.

I have been running it for about 1000 miles no problems. I plan to hook up the turbo in about a week or two. But so far it runs fine, I dont see why there would be a problem.

I've had my walbro in my prelude for about 15k miles with and without turbo with no problems other then the fact that it is noisy when the tank is more then half empty and at stop lights.

Do any of you have a fuel pressure gauge? I'm interested in seeing the before and after readings.

walbro 255 pum in my 95 civic b16a, stock pump stock fpr at idle was like 36-38 when pump was installed it jumped to 40 which is not too big of difference but ran it like that for a month or so no problems, you'll just hear the wine of the pump from time to time but no biggy, about to throw that same pump in my crx

i would definately get an aftermarket fpr, as i have heard of small rises in pressure and rises of 10-12psi over stock.

3 psi rise when running the regular Walboro 255 instead of stock.

3 psi is not going to makes that much difference, You'll be fine with Walbro fo a while until you start boosting your car.

You will need to purchase the Walbro GSS342 fuel pump for your hatch. It should come with the Walbro install kit 400-846. Good luck.
