Default Fuel pump help

I need some suggestions on what fuel pump i should run on my '04 civic ex. It is turbo'd and i have converted it to the old return style fuel system. I'm running at about 5 pounds of boost.

Thanks,
Aaron Johnson

It really would be overkill due to the fact that you're only running 5lbs. but an Aeromotive A1000 would handle everything you could throw at it. We don't use them but I know many people that do and seem to work just fine. In your case there's a lot out there because your fuel needs are not all that great. With most of the low boost setups we do (primarily with the DA, DC, EH, EJ chassis which already have return setup fuel systems) we run a BBK or Walbro 255 intank with an MSD 125 inline (this is good for ~300whp before you'll start losing pressure up top). This would probably be perfect for you but having not worked with many newer Civics, I don't know if you could get a standard pump in the tank. If you could then you just need a FPR and a return line back to the tank. You weren't planning on sumping the tank were you?
