i got a ef with a ls swap but i dont know what kind of fuel pump i need. idk whether to buy the ls fuel pump or original ef pump

 

What does an EF9 fuel pump have to do with this question? Based on the information above you do not have an EF9 or a B16A from an EF9. You are in the Civic/CRX forum so there is no need to use EF9 unless you actually are working with one this just helps to get clear answers.
To answer your question, I would recomend getting one for an 88-91 civic. Most aftermarket ones flow better than the Honda/Acura one anyway and I would not recomend a used pump.

Also why are you replacing the fuel pump? Are you upgrading for future performance or is your car not starting? If the car is not starting I doubt it's the fuel pump and instead a much simpler fix.

 

took the words outta my mouth

 

ok how would you call the post then. a ef is also a 90 civic fyi. but im just changing it for not starting it

 

Honda-tech has turned into a playground for some people.
Rather than answering the question and helping people out, the try to be witty and just cut down people.
The above replies did absolutely nothing for your question - they didn't even try to figure it out.
So many people refer to the Civic and CRX as EF9 and EF8... it's standard common knowledge to most everyone.
Funny thing is the bone head that cut on you about not having an EF9 and a B16 has 'EF9" in his user name with an avatar of (I guess it's his) USDM non-EF Civic.
LOL!


Anyway...
Either get yourself a new stock pump for your car or an aftermarket upgrade like a Walbro.
Stock pump should be fine for a 1.8.

.. but why replace it at all?
Is it not working right now?

 

alright thanks man

 

Guess what buddy, that is exactly what I answered in my first post. Yes I have EF9 in my screen name because it has been my name since I imported a rhd in 01'. I carried over the name when joining here in 05' so people won't remember me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I too used to call these cars EF9's but it's like calling a 94' integra LS a Type-R...it's a bad habit that people need to correct.

 

My question still remains, are you replacing it because your car is having problems or because to want an upgrade?

I am trying to offer advice to try and save time and money. If you are in fact having problems with fuel or spark then it is most likely the Ignition Relay and not the fuel pump. Very common problem.

 

walbro 255 fuel pump =D

they are cheap, work great and are perfect if you are going to go forced induction in the future.

 

dont get an ls pump...get one to fit YOUR car. either walboro or just a pump for your civic model. aaand yea wtf is it not starting orrr just want an upgrade?

 

im replacing it because the car doesnt start. i bought a distributor for it and so my next guess is the fuel pump because you could hear the car spark

 

aye

 

would a fuel pump from a b16 fit on the civic?

 

yea, b16 fuel pump will fit in the civic. You can even put rsx fuel pump in, I see it before.
