Default Before I install the juice...

Should I switch to a lude fuel pump? Are they much bigger than a civic, i would think so having a higher LT. How hard is it to install an intank pump? Besides draining all the gas, is that the only bs to deal with.

The guy with the walbro deal is a good price but do I use the hi psi pump or the reg.

I should know this stuff but I don't...huh...

Yea well it's not gonna hurt to run an aftermarket pump... A Walbro 255 should be sufficient... It's really easy to put either a whole lude pump in or disassemble your stock one to put say a Walbro in.. I never even drain the gas... You are running H22 on how much squeeze???

I always thought that you'd have to switch to a bigger fuel pump when u do a h22a swap. Would it be okay to use a stock civic dx fuel pump when doing a h22a swap or is it a must to put in a bigger fuel pump???

I'm going to run a 75 shot, ZEX. Is the lude pump a replacement just like the civic, under the rear seat or what?

Yup should be... I don't work with the H22 motor or Ludes that much but my friend's old one had to be swapped when he boosted it and i'm pretty sure it was just under the back seat... correct me if i'm wrong... Latez... PS I would always upgrade the pump when doing a motor swap... Many people say that the stock pumps work fine which they might but once you get a swap with forced induction on top of that then i would think that you would want atleast a stock pump for that motor... Latez

Yeah its located under the back seat. I agree with JDMspeceg6 always upgrade fuel pumps with juice cause you dont want that fuel pressure to drop while squeezing. just for safety

i'm not exactly sure but I don't think you need a fuel pump I think that you shoul just get a fuel regulator and bump you fuel say to 44psi or maybe a little more correct me if i'm wrong

You should not need to for a 75 shot, but:

If you do not swap it and come to find out you needed to =
