Fuel System

Where exactly should I mount my inline fuel pump. Also is the b&m fuel pressure reg. just as good as any of the others or should i just go for the aem one. And finally what kind of fuel rail should I go with. I don't care about looks all I want is performance and above all reliability so if aem isn't the best tell me.:greenchai

#1- Get an in-tank fuel pump, not an external. External pumps are anywhere from annoyingly to extremely loud, and any power level you look to be making that's streetable is easily served by an in-tank. The factory fuel pump on the B16A equipped Civic SI will support about 400hp at stock fuel pressure rates (provided you have large enough injectors).

#2- What modifications do you have that you need to jack up the fuel pressure?

#3- The stock fuel rals are good to at least 300hp, how much power are you making?

There is really no need for a new fuel rail except your ride is highly modified! If itīs not itīs just thrown out money.
