Default Walbro Fuel pump VS stock motor ?

What you think about putting a Walbro 255 Fuel pump on a pretty much stock D15B VTEC ?

I have one laying around, and I figured, WHY not?


I have carbon fiber intake, Full mandrel bent stainless steal exhaust HSK muffler 4-1 Header.

Let me ask it this way, If you were given a walbro 255 Fuel pump, Would you put it on your car knowing your car was pretty stock, and don't plan on boosting for a while?

I mean, what are the benifits, a little more power?

You might see worse gas mileage, but definately no performance advantages. The pump needs to be changed if and ONLY if your fuel demands increase. Because you're not boosted and you're not running ridiculous cams, there's no reason to do anything to your stock fuel system.

Besides, the FPR and injectors are more of a bottle neck than the stock pump...at least as far as you need to be concerned.

x2, i would not install it untill it needs to be done, its kinda like putting a bov on your intake pipe but your not turbocharged yet...
