I was wondering two things:

1)if my car came with a D16Z6 and there is a b18c1 now, does the fuel pump need to be changed as well?

2)if it does, and there is no difference, how do i know the difference between the two pumps?

thanksss

nope... U can get a gsr pump, I'm pretty sure it flows a little more, but u don't need it......

I dont think Oem is different but I could be wrong might as well go aftermarket and just get a walbro.

yea dont do like i did i bought an OEM GSR fuel pump for my civic when mine went out and paid 120 At cost at napa was gonna be 144 when you can get a walboro 255 for 89 :'( but my car ran better with the gsr fuel pump in my opinon

not worth the time money if your not going to have extras to really require more fuel.

I rather have a walboro if any.... Stockers are just fine!

Adding boost then thats a different story

I've done numerous swap and didn't change the pump. If fuel pressure is fine, then your fine. Now if the car had a ton of miles on it, I would change it for good measure.

agree isnt nothing like a new pump over one that is 15+ years old and 200k miles
