Default Stock fuel pump enough?

I have upgraded just about all of my fuel system, rail, Fuel Pressure Regulator, filter, lines. and injectors (When I pick a size). My question is will my stock Del Sol fuel pump be enough to handle a turbo or should I upgrade to a 255lph one? I wont be running anything crazy, I'm just looking for250-300 hp on my B18C.

I would definitely get a 255 lph just good insurance why risk leaning the engine out. I'd rather know I have enough fuel than wonder if I do !

Like everyone else has said, a Walbro is 100% necessary. I wouldnt gamble on a $100 part...

yeah, why not just do it. i mean, wouldn't suck to go get it tuned, and have to cancel half way through due to a lack of fuel? there's 400 bucks down the drain.

If it was the VTEC model, it will have the larger 139lph stock pump (the rest use the 79lph pump). However, 300whp will be nearing the better pump's limit. I'd recommend the 190lph Walbro, since its quieter - it makes a big difference with the pump 2 feet from your ears in that small interior. The 190lph will do at least 400whp, which will be enough for your current goals, plus another 100whp.
