Careful with the 255, I installed one in my b16a crx and my B&M fuel pressure regulator could not handle it. I could not lower the pressure less than 45 psi. I later replaced it with a 190 and everything is fine now. You could run the 255 but you will need a better regulator.

I would always recommend walbro products, very good. But for the pressure, hmm, depends on the bolt ons. Just don't run it too rich, common myth is that more fuel = more power.

Thats funny, i have the same set up with the Walbro 255lph in my crx si with the B&M regulator, it works 100%. I've had that setup for like 5 or 6 years now, and i can still lower my psi down to 40.

All I know is when I put in the 255 it would not let me lower the pressure, I was told there are modifications that you drill out the return hole in the B&M. I didn't want to go that route so I dropped the tank again a week later to put in the 190. You have to ask your self do "YOU" need a 255 for your application.
