ok since i think my dx automatic fuel pump is having a hard time as it is with my dohc zc...and i plan to add forced induction, ill be needing another pump.

so the question is wats the difference between a inline and intank pumps.???


besides the inline is a easy install. also can my car run god with just an inline pump...if my other dies?

 

An intake fuel pump actaully goes inside where your factory fuel pump goes and a inline fuel pump is actually added just like it says inline in the fuel system, the best to get for know would be a intank fuel pump and if you really want really good fuel add an inline fuel pump later under the hood, the shorter route the fuel has to go the better.

You sure it's your pump? I've fixed a lot of fuel starvation problems simply by replacing the fuel filter! Try that first if you haven't already. The Auto DX pump should be the same as the 5Spd pump, which is more than enough to power the DOHC ZC WITH 65 shot of NOS.

 

get an inline pump, it's much easier to install and it gets the job done. Plus I have one for cheap that I can sell you. Check your IM.

 

i was runnin a hf pump for my b16

 

Not to sale block, but I prefer the intank. I installed mine in a matter of hours, by myself, in 30 degree weather, with a 3/4 full tank of gas. It sucked, but it wasn't that bad. I only had about 1/2 tank left when I was done and I still can't take my coat out of the plastic bag I stuffed it in (it stunk up my whole house).

I like the intank better because it seems less like an add on or bandaid, and you can eliminate the high milage factory pump all togehter. No worrying about your old crap giving out, blocking the line up, etc. The noise is also very minimal.

Either way, I wouldn't replace unless you know your pump is failing now. If you go FI on a budget, you're probably going to end up wanting the high flow pump (255lph) which will be overkill on a stock car. The fuel pressure regulator probably won't be able to let all of that fuel past it to go back to the tank. Without ghetto fixing the factory FPR (IE: drilling a hole in it), you'll be getting too much fuel at idle and maybe other times too.

I say just wait until you need it.
