whats the stock pump good to in eg civics?

i have a cut out problem we believe we've narrowed down to the pump. its the original and my cars a 92. if it was in good shape, will a stock pump provide the flow for a car with a tiny turbo (mitsu 14b td04h) on 8 psi? b16

450cc injectors, golden eagle fuel rail, aem adjustable fpr


or could it be the fuel filter being plugged?

Why not just replace the pump anyways? It's a decent piece of mind, so you don't have to worry about the pump dying. 100 bucks and takes 10 mins to replace in an EG.

I ran 9 psi on a t3/t4 on a b16 for a summer before my EF fuel pump starting giving out.

I find it funny that you're running an aftermarket fuel rail and FPR, but still on the stock pump. That's so backwards that its comical. The rail is good for 450+whp, but the pump craps out around 200whp...you should replace it with a <$100 Walbro already

i realize this. i had the rail and fpr because i got them before thinking of forced induction. i got too good a deal to pass up on them. the reason i cant buy the walbro like i'd like is that im graduating and have a long drive to oklahoma (1500 miles about) in a couple days and absolutely no money to spend. i've got a pump from a turbo audi out of a salvage yard and am going to try it tomorrow. 10 buck fix perhaps. flows like a motherf*cker.

If you're making a trip that long, why risk it knowing the fuel pump is going to give out. Like said, the stock pump is good for around 200whp. I don't think the Audi fuel pump will work, have you even found the facts for it, how much it pumps? Which comes to the question... are you even tuned?

trade the rail or fpr for a fuel pump? if you can't afford $100, you shouldn't be have a turbo on your car.

x2! i have been hording parts for a good 2-3 years for this very reason. do it right the first time or pay double trying to fix ****. and word of advice i would not cheap out on fuel system components, reason being say you are in boost and the fuel supply gives out...bad day. dont wait to experience it for your self

I mean you could even get a Xenocron Fuel pump for 60 if you don't have the 100 bucks, if I were you I WOULD NOT take your car on a 1500 mile trip on a stock fuel pump, and I hope to god you are tuned.

When my stock pump went out, it was terrible. There were no signs it just bucked and quit on me.
