get it for the chassis, btw use a stock replacment unless you are going FI. jacking up your fuel pressure is going to pretty useless on a na b16a with stock injectors.

chassis = car body
btw = by the way
fi = forced induction

get the fuel pump made for you car, not the motor. It would be a waste to buy a performance fuel pump for a natually aspirated b16a, your stock one is just fine. Your fuel pump is located underneath the back seat. Remove the back seat and there will be an aluminum plate that you need to remove. The pump is right underneath it.

well you think i might need a better fuel pump. Well when im driving for a long period of time not meaning 6 hrs but driving to work etc.. but when i come to a stop my tac guage just goes down like it dies idling but after a few seconds it goes back to normal no more idle and gas gauge does the same slowing droping while im driving hard but raises back up. Anything would help.

You can buy a Walboro 255 lph pump for like $200 new.. Be very careful taking out the old one or you'll break the filter connected to the pump. You need it for a new one.

The stock b16a injectors are all that's needed unless you boost, same with the stock fuel pump. However since Hondas have return lines (the hose at the other end of the rail that carries unused fuel back to the tank) I played it safe and bought a Walboro.

so 255 lph is fine. But my friend said to get a 190 lphs which is ok. and he said that 255 gives me lows miles too. so is that true or should i stick with 190 or something else besides 255 unless your for sure that it b ok.

I have one and get the same 280-300 miles per tank

Look dude, your fluctuating idle doesn't have shit to do with your fuel pump. Start by checking your coolant levels, but I bet it's somewhere in your wiring since you put the wrong OBD generation motor in your car. And IF it did have something to do with fuel, start cheap, like say replace the fuel filter instead of plunking down 200 for something YOU DO NOT NEED!!!

im getting 240 miles per tank too. Is that from my wiring or coolant level.
