Not only can you do this, if your going FI, you SHOULD do it

Walbro Intank 255LPH, you can get them out of tank but I find them too noisy.

It replaces your OEM fuel pump. As far as doing it? Search on here and you'll find some info.

As far as I know? It's overkill but it should be fine. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

if u get a fuel pump make sure and get a fuel pressure regulator so u can turn down the fuel pressure. a fuel pump increases the fuel pressure.

buy a FPR and a Fule pressure gauge. install the gauge 1st and notice what psi the fuel is at stock. then install the fuel pump and FPR and turn down the fuel pressure to the stock pressure

Elec Fuel Pressure gauges are pricey, just telling you know so you don't

My Autometer Electronic FP gauge was ~240 (CDN)

You can get cheaper gauges but beware, you get what you pay for. Just make sure the sending unit is included. Mechanical are cheaper but:

A) not sure if they're even legal anymore
B) Fuel will be running to your cabin (if it ruptures for some reason :-X)

I don't know if you were convinced to go in tank but it is extremely easy.

Replacing a fuel pump on my GMC Yukon is horrible, gotta drop the whole fuel tank. REQUIRES two people or one really handy and ingenious person.

On an Integra? Oh my goodness, I thank the Honda gods for their wisdom.

Take out your rear seats and right underneath it is the access panel to get to the pump. Just pull out the pump, put the new one on and drop it back in. Easy easy easy.

Less noise...

More capacity...

That and you don't run the risk of an inline fuel pump popping a line, dumping fuel on a hot engine and then having a marshmellow toasting party out of your engine bay...
